Delta and leading New York fashion designer Zac Posen together unveiled an exclusive uniform collection on Tuesday, which will be worn by more than 60,000 of the airline's frontline employees including customer service agents, flight attendants, ramp agents and technicians.

The contemporary line fuses together bold color palettes and classic styles, while paying homage to the heritage and iconic design from decades past to elevate the look and brand of Delta employees.

"The world's best employees deserve the best uniforms and this new collection is classically influenced, yet modern," said Ed Bastian, Delta's CEO. "Zac and the Delta team worked closely with our people to create timeless and fashionable pieces that reflect the thoughtful and innovative spirit of Delta."

Beginning in December and into early 2017, a dedicated team of 1,000 employee ambassadors will wear-test the uniforms. From there, adjustments and tweaks will be made based on employee feedback before the uniforms roll out to Delta people worldwide in the first quarter of 2018.

Delta last updated its uniform collection for above wing employees including flight attendants and airport customer service agents, in 2006 with designs by Richard Tyler. The airline last updated its uniform collection for below wing employee employees, including technical operations employees and ramp agents, in 2000.
