Pornographic for Virgin Atlantic

This project was to design a new uniform for Virgin Atlantic celebrating their 25th anniversary.

I was inspired by the theme of 80’s poster girl from Virgin’s advertisement but on the day of the crit, I was told my designs were ‘pornographic’ (this is due to the way I draw the female form…and the fact that I wanted to use latex material.) so I thought fine, I’ll go with that.
so i did.
