Eurostar has introduced a new uniform “inspired by the best of the European spirit” for its employees both onboard and in stations.
It combines “French elegance with the navy blue monochrome and simple cuts, Brussels and Amsterdam street art in the graffiti-print neckerchief echoing, and the British icon of self-expression with Green Dr. Martens”.
Design collaboration
The 54-piece collection was designed by French designer Emmanuelle Plescoff, who previously worked with Christian Lacroix, and was co-created for the very first time with input from 80 Eurostar employees.
Plescoff said: “This collaboration has resulted in a collection that balances simplicity, reliability, and a metropolitan flair, symbolised through signature accessories like green Dr Martens and a graffiti neckerchief.”
It was developed over a period of more than two and a half years to ensure the uniforms meet their practical needs.
Now being worn by all 2,600 employees, the collection is interchangeable and made to fit all genders, body types, and personal styles.
A sustainable approach
The new uniform also shows a commitment to responsible sourcing and environmental care.
Produced in factories located within the Euromed region, all manufacturing stakeholders meet stringent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, with verified worker welfare and sustainability certifications.
The fabrics were carefully selected for durability and eco-friendliness, favouring recycled polyester and organic cotton.
In addition, Eurostar is launching a recycling campaign to repurpose old uniforms through partners Cepovett in France and Belgium, and Race Recycling in the UK, ensuring that materials are reused in products such as mattresses and hanging basket liners.
