Musk really liked Fernandez's submission of the helmet design—which is, with considerable reverse engineering to make sure that the thing would work in space—a very special piece of equipment. Fernandez is fluent in helmets, having designed Thor's and his brother Loki's awe-inspiring helmets for. Not to suggest that Loki's excellent giant-antelope-horned headpiece as proudly worn by Tom Hiddleston would actually fit inside SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule....
As an acknowledged master of costumes that hold to and cosset the body, Fernandez is necessarily a master of joinery in tailoring, meaning, he has the ability to resolve the often-difficult points at which different materials meet. In a spacesuit, the joinery has to be super-tight—in fact, air proof.
This is no accident: It should be noted that Daft Punk has in fact commissioned the brilliant Fernandez for several pieces of their trademark weird-oh disco-robot headgear. But as a deeply schooled"extreme couture" tailor to all sorts of cinematic superheros and heroines embroiled in narratives whose origins stretch back to the early 20th century, Mr. Fernandez would be well aware of Kubrick's earlier camera-friendly helmet innovations....

The formality is no accident.
Look like Lego men.
Shame they look so hideous. The old suits look much better
