Description :
PIA 1962 Calendar – “Dresses of Pakistan” Cultural Showcase This authentic 1962 calendar issued by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is a rare and culturally significant artifact from the airline’s golden age. Titled Dresses of Pakistan, the calendar was part of PIA’s pioneering campaign to showcase the nation’s rich regional attire and heritage to the world. Produced under the visionary leadership of Air Marshal Nur Khan, PIA’s Managing Director from 1959 to 1965, the calendar reflects the airline’s commitment to cultural diplomacy and design excellence. Each month features traditional garments from Pakistan’s diverse provinces, photographed and printed with exceptional detail. The calendar was printed by Ferozsons Ltd., Lahore, a historic press known for its craftsmanship and cultural contributions. This initiative coincided with PIA’s broader branding efforts, including its collaboration with Pierre Cardin, who designed the airline’s uniforms in the same era. This calendar is not a reproduction—it is an original production-issued piece from 1962, preserved in excellent condition. It stands as a testament to Pakistan’s visual identity and PIA’s role as a cultural ambassador. Ideal for collectors of aviation memorabilia, South Asian heritage, and mid-century design ephemera.
