House Of Vincenza is a design development and production studio founded by Emmy Award Winning Celebrity Seamstress Gina Vincenza Van Epps.

With decades of experience spanning entertainment, fashion, themed attractions and specialty garment engineering, House Of Vincenza operates as a full service Design House supporting projects from early concept through final production.

​

Gina has built a reputation for solving complex design challenges and translating creative vision into functional, wearable reality. Her work has supported over 70 celebrity clients and contributed to productions for internationally recognized performers, entertainment companies and global brands.

​

Her career highlights include contributing to Shakira’s Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show costumes, a project that received four Emmy nominations and one Emmy Award, and designing and overseeing fabrication for large scale entertainment productions including:

​

• 21 Characters and nearly 200 costumes for the first LEGO World Parade at LEGOLAND California 2025-2026 

• 8 Characters, 400+ costumes and 300 boots for Enchant Christmas, now used across multiple seasons

• Costume fabrication and licensed designs for Marvel, Harry Potter and other franchises during her tenure at Universal Theme Parks

Gina’s work also appears in television and museum collections. Her custom prop work was featured in the Disney+ series The Right Stuff, where she also served as a technical advisor for a sewing scene under executive producer Leonardo DiCaprio.

​

Her museum work includes the creation of Bigfoot costumes for The National Enquirer Live attractions in Branson and Pigeon Forge and the restoration of Janis Joplin’s iconic cape for Hard Rock International, now displayed at the Hard Rock Cafe in San Francisco.

​

Beyond entertainment costuming, House Of Vincenza applies the same design engineering expertise to medical, tactical and industrial soft goods, demonstrating the versatility of garment based engineering.

​

Design Development From Concept To Creation

House Of Vincenza specializes in guiding projects through the entire design and production pipeline.

​

Services include:

• Concept and design development

• Garment engineering and technical problem solving

• Digital and paper pattern development

• Prototype construction and testing

• Fabric and materials sourcing

• Domestic and international production strategy

• Bespoke and small batch manufacturing

Our approach combines technical precision with creative collaboration. Every project is treated as a partnership where the goal is not only beautiful design, but durability, functionality and real world performance.

​

A Network Built Over Decades

Through decades of industry work, House Of Vincenza maintains an extensive professional network of designers, fabricators, production houses, suppliers, stylists, photographers and creative professionals.

​

If a project requires expertise beyond our internal studio capabilities, we leverage this network to connect clients with trusted collaborators across the industry.

Transparency and collaboration are core values of our studio.

​

The Platinum Rule

At House Of Vincenza we follow what we call The Platinum Rule.

Rather than assuming how clients want to be treated, we take the time to understand their priorities, expectations and goals so that every project can be approached in a way that truly supports their vision.
