Seattle Museum of Flight Tour: Runway to Runway Exhibit

Join the ERAU-WW College of Arts & Sciences for a tour of the exhibit Runway to Runway presented by the Museum of Flight exhibit design team
About this Event

Please join the for a tour of the special exhibit Runway to Runway presented by exhibit design team of the Museum of Flight -- happening right before our Seattle Commencement ceremony. This tour will offer unique insight into the museum curator’s perspective on showcasing the human side of aviation through an exploration of cabin crew fashion. Runway to Runway features 100 artifacts ranging from classic suits and skirts to capes and go-go boots and onward to today’s thoughtful neoclassic styles. Each uniform reflects the person who wore it, the purpose behind its design and the responsibilities carried out while it was worn. Runway to Runway also pulls back the curtain on the illusion of style to glimpse the racial barriers, sexism and ignored workers’ rights that challenged flight attendants. As flight attendants started to become the face of the airlines, air carriers hired famous fashion designers. Trending fabrics, vogue nouveau and bold colors to help the airlines stand out from one another. Runway to Runway shows the arc of past fashions and how designers respond to the flight attendant of today.

We are looking forward to seeing our Seattle graduates, regional continuing students, alumni, prosepcts, and friends at this unique event!
