Space Needle Partners with Luly Yang Design Group for New Uniforms

Seattle designer Luly Yang collaborated with Space Needle Team Members to reimagine the uniforms. Employees modeled the new custom designs inspired by the building’s iconic shape in a photo shoot on June 30, 2022. 

Team Members are frequently the first point of contact for Guests from all over the world with the Space Needle brand. Their team members assist in communicating their values and ensuring that their Guests receive the best that they have to offer. 

Innovative new uniforms 

For new team member uniforms, the iconic Space Needle is collaborating with local Seattle designer Luly Yang Design Group. Working to elevate style, performance, and pride in the uniform industry, Luly Yang brings her experience in design, architecture, and her understanding of the human form to create a one-of-a-kind Space Needle uniform collection. 

"We are so pleased to bring Luly Yang's beautiful and innovative designs to the Space Needle," says Chief Marketing Officer Karen Olson.  

“The shapes and colors of the uniforms were thought out perfectly to represent the iconic Space Needle reimagined in a uniform. The Luly Yang brand champions our values of innovation, engineering, and sustainability,” adds further. 

The iconic shape of the Space Needle’s silhouette inspired the Space Needle uniform design. The seams, color blocks, textures, and reflective trims of the garment were designed to reflect architectural lines while also flattering the human body. The Space Needle’s brand was referenced for the collection’s colors and logos, as well as the important functional requirements for various front-line team members. 

The American Institute of Architects’ 2022 National Architecture Honor Award was given to Seattle-based architecture firm Olson Kundig for their work on the Space Needle’s $100 million Century Project, which served as inspiration for the custom print, creating a sporty texture that adds dimension to the garments. 

“The Space Needle is an architectural landmark known across the globe, and I am honored to have been allowed to create the new custom uniform program for its team,” says Luly Yang, Creative Director of Luly Yang Design Group. “It is a dream come true to bring the beautiful, recognizable design details from the building into the garments themselves.”
