A Turkish air hostess, Zuhal Sengul, showed off her curvy figure in a gothic photoshoot for an Italian magazine wearing revealing outfits and corsets. But when her airline employer discovered these images, they had to let the tattoo-sporting 31-year-old go.
‘Simple make-up, immaculate and in pastel colours, is preferred for staff working in the service sector,' a statement from Turkish Airlines.
Zuhal is a vegan campaigner that holds a black belt in karate, feels this action was influenced by a country-wide shift towards more traditional Muslim values, with the president of the airline's labor union saying that Turkey has become ‘more conservative, more religious'.
