Air New Zealand has announced Kiwi designer Emilia Wickstead will design the airline's next uniforms. 

She was chosen from a shortlist of three, after having received hundreds of other pitches.

It is one part of a re-design by the national carrier that will also include airplane interiors.

The new uniforms will replace the current Dame Trelise Cooper designed uniforms by 2024. 

Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty spoke with Kerre Woodham about the new designs and why Wickstead was chosen.
