I would like to see Cathay show a bit of Chinese culture in the uniforms. If Cathay is meant to be Hong Kong's world airline, why don't the uniforms feel abit more like Hong Kong or Asia? (and I mean the good bits)

Here is a great little YouTube video with nothing to do with the uniforms, but has some great pics of the planes throughout the years.... The Video
It's about recognisable identity. CX has it, though it could be better, maybe cheongsam style . Your point about SQ is true,they are robotic but utterly beguiling in their kebayas. SQ seem to put more emphasis on their FA's grooming. Mind you, the male uniform for SQ and TG is very conservative/boring.
