See inside the costumes for Netflix's new comedy 'Space Force.'
The United States Space Force — the newest stand-alone branch of the military, formed to fight wars in space — has had a hard time garnering prestige. Propelled by President Trump’s support and established in late 2019, the branch has been an easy target for comedy: the logo, unveiled earlier this year, bears striking similarity to the Starfleet Command emblem in “Star Trek”; the fatigues, save for a dark blue thread used for the nameplates, uses the same camo pattern as the Army.
After the official uniforms for the USFF were unveiled on Twitter in January, Daniels e-mailed show costumer designer Kathleen Felix-Hager. His verdict? “‘Ours are so much better,'” says Felix-Hager, who created her own version of uniforms for the show. Sometimes reality is stranger than satirical fiction.“It just seemed sort of ridiculous that it would have a desert camo-scape for the moon,” she adds. “That seems even more satirically funny than ours, even.
“When I showed [Daniels] that moon camo fabric, he fell on the floor and thought that was the most hilarious thing he’d ever seen,” says Felix-Hager, who applauded the collaborative nature of the show production. “It was just that little bit of whimsy and seriousness that struck the right note.”They ended up creating 75 custom fatigue sets using their custom moon camo fabric design . While uniforms got “Space Force”-specific tweaks, all the costumes on the show are rooted in reality.
Felix-Hager describes early fittings with Carell as important for him getting inside his character. “There’s always that fun moment in a fitting where you start trying things on and you’re talking through the character with the actor, and all of a sudden they’ll put something on and they’ll stand a little different or tilt their head a certain way,” she says. One of those pivotal items was a vintage leather flight jacket, which was actually used in the Air Force.
