Delta to fly in Zac Posen: Zac Posen’s American glamour pairs with Delta Air Lines world class service.
New York-based designer Zac Posen and Delta Air Lines are partnering to bring high fashion and function to a different kind of runway as part of Delta’s new uniform program. The new Zac Posen collection is expected to launch in early 2018.
Zac Posen will design a uniform collection for Delta’s flight attendants and airport customer service agents while advising on the uniform project for all Delta’s support agents and employees.
“Through challenges and triumphs, the Delta uniform has been a source of great pride for generations of Delta people and continues to serve as a symbol of our values and the world class service for which we’re known,” said Tim Mapes, Delta’s Senior Vice President – Marketing. “With Zac’s talent and expertise, and in partnership with Delta people worldwide, we look forward to creating a timeless, fashionable and functional new collection that will continue to be a point of pride and symbol of our brand for the 170 million customers who fly with us each year.”
Over the next few months, Posen will work with Delta employees to better understand the specialized needs of Delta’s active workforce. The prototypes will then undergo intensive wear testing to ensure functionality and fit before the final collection is produced.
“I’m thrilled to partner with this classic American brand and look forward to collaborating with Delta employees to understand their wants and needs for the new collection,” said Zac. “Together, we will bring everyday elegance and style innovation to the ground and air alike, while making employees look and feel their best.”
