For nearly three decades, I’ve partnered with creative directors, producers, agencies, and entertainment companies to transform ambitious ideas into wearable reality. Every project begins with a creative challenge—sometimes it’s a sketch on a napkin, sometimes it’s a fully developed concept that simply hasn’t been built before.

My studio combines sculpture, costume design, patternmaking, engineering, and fabrication to create custom costumes that are as functional as they are visually striking. Whether the final piece is destined for a Broadway stage, a national advertising campaign, a television production, or a live event, it’s designed to perform reliably while capturing the imagination of the audience.

I enjoy the projects that push creative boundaries. Whether we’re developing a larger-than-life mascot, a sculptural couture piece, or a specialty costume for film or theater, my role is to help clients solve complex creative challenges with thoughtful design, technical expertise, and meticulous craftsmanship.

When you work with Yvette Helin Studio, you’re working directly with the person guiding the creative process from concept through fabrication. My goal is simple: to build extraordinary work that exceeds expectations, performs beautifully, and helps bring your vision to life.
