She's dressed a future Queen and a Prime Minister and now top end fashion designer Emilia Wickstead is onboard to create Air New Zealand's next uniform.

The kiwi who is based in the UK was chosen from more than 40 designers who pitched for the job.

Once tested, the final design will be revealed in late 2024 and then progressively rolled to more than 5000 staff.

Emilia Wickstead, who has dressed the Princess of Wales, says she couldn't be prouder to be designing uniforms for the national carrier.
