This Season’s Hottest Trends: Fashion Takes Flight

Ultra-luxurious fabrics in modern and retro-inspired designs glided down winter’s runways. Romantic notes of lace, airy chiffons and lustrous satins played wingman to grittier metals and leathers, creating enviable looks apt for a glamorous globetrotter.

LOCATION

As you approach Ford Island, a striking mandarin red and white striped tower stands tall, acting as a guide to the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor. Mighty and breathtaking, the Ford Island Control Tower is one of the many rare, historic artifacts that make the museum one of the most visited in the nation. Two full-size hangars are filled with authentic WWII aircrafts, dioramas illustrating air battles and attacks, and modern jets and helicopters, which provide a journey through aviation history. Fighter planes such as the shark-grinned P-40 Warhawk and B-25 Mitchell Bomber ignite the imaginations of the young and old, while untouched reminders of the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, including bullet-riddled hangar door windows, evoke patriotic nostalgia.

Historic Ford Island, 319 Lexington Blvd., 808-441-1000.
