Cynthia Rowley has been hired by United Airlines to design some new uniforms for flight attendants and other airline personnel. They're expected to start showing up in 2011, and we recommend she start by making all the uniforms available in all the sizes to avoid the kind of media kerfuffle Delta had to deal with when its Richard Tyler-designed uniforms included a red dress that was only available up to a size 18, but had navy uniforms up to a 28.
