Dune - Stillsuits (1984)

Aside from the mile-long Sandworms, probably nothing of the story is as well known as the Stillsuits. A poor design would clash with the interlocking textures of the story and harm its credibility. Bob Ringwood, the film’s costume designer, solved one problem by giving the Stillsuits a distinctively organic look. But it also created the problem of manufacturing the tightly quilted and intricately tubed suits. They thought they had the problem solved until Mark Siegel told them that they were wrong.
