1965 Gemini IV  "The Air Strip"

This Uniform had a reversible coat (left and right),  with print hat and scarf, lime gloves,
two-color stitched boots in the Courrèges style, and a space helmet (which was rarely used).  A Pucci Pink 2-piece wool suit (second from left) was worn over a blue silk turtle neck tunic and culottes (center).  An  apron-dress called a "Puccini" was worn with two-color stitched flat shoes for the meal service (left and right of center).  The pink/purple combo Puccini was my favorite (third from right).

1966 Pucci II  "International Flags"

As an alternative to the culottes and tunic, Pucci added a 100% nylon dress with a string belt and tights in a pattern "symbolizing the nations of the world that serve as Braniff ports of call".   Lime/clear shoes from Neiman Marcus allowed the pattern to show right down to the toes.  

(See Close-up) In a harlequin pattern, Pucci intermingled his stylized flags with Mexican instruments and Pre-Columbian Art of Central and South America.

1968 Pucci III  "Classic"

 Many might wonder if plum (fuchsia) uniforms can be considered classic.  In any case,  this was a monotone color scheme, with a splash of colors in the scarf.  The dress was a plum or pale pink Trevira blend, with hose and shoes to match.  The wool coat was pale pink/magenta reversible.

 1968 Pucci III  Variation

This uniform was designed for the Passenger Service Agents at airports and ticket offices.

A variation of the plum uniform, with a mandarin collar, three-quarter length sleeves (which we pushed up out of the way), front zipper and dropped waist with a suede belt.  The suede belt  was replaced with a faux leather belt in 1970.

That's me, looking crumpled, after driving home from work in the Summer of 1969.

1971 Pucci IV
"747 Braniff Place"

The Pucci print returned with this uniform, as did versatility.  The color choice was pink or blue, with a square neck, ruffle neck, or sleeveless scoop neck.  It could be worn above the knee or mini, alone, with 'pajama' trousers, or with hot pants.  The uniform was a lightweight Qiana, and very comfortable.  The shoes had one green heel.  Matching patterned scarves had  the 'BI' logo.

1971 Pucci IV  Variation

This was the uniform for the Passenger Service Agents at airports and ticket offices.  A variation of the pink uniform, styled with a v-neck and the darker pink bodice.  Palazzo pants matched the bodice.  I wore the short uniform, with my palazzos cut to hot pants length, for the Summer.  ~ Photo right ~ Playing with my Scottie puppy after work in 1973.

1974 Pucci V and VI

A combination of solid color and a magnificent swirling design was the final Pucci uniform.  The polyester jumper in green, blue or turquoise could be worn alone (but rarely was), with the patterned nylon leotard, or a turtleneck sweater.  Slacks matching the tunic were another component.  A patterned nylon front-button dress with a string belt was an additional choice. 

1974 Pucci V  Variation

This was the uniform for the Passenger Service Agents at airports and ticket offices.  The jumper and pants were navy blue, worn with the same patterned leotard.  ~ Right ~ My passport photo in uniform in the Winter of 1975.
