She's dressed royals, A-list stars and even Prime Ministers- and now Emilia Wickstead's designs will be part of Air New Zealand's uniform refresh.

The London-based Kiwi designer is set to craft new looks for the airline's 5,000-strong cabin and ground crew.

They will be revealed late next year for a wearer trial, before taking to the skies in 2025.

Wickstead expressed excitement with this creative opportunity and looks forward to bringing her designs back to her home country.

"Essentially, it's like a full circle, when I was a little girl, I had a dream and took it away and built a business abroad- and now I've come full circle and I'm so proud to be doing this."
