Reco Chapple - Season 1

Reco Chapple
Season 1 Contestant

Reco's creative outlook on fashion goes hand-in-hand with his larger-than-life personality. Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, one wonders how this country boy developed such a creative outlook on fashion. Reco is proud of his modest beginnings. He realized his interest in fashion at a young age, while watching a Valentino fashion show on Oprah. Reco obtained his B.S from Tennessee State University and has a strong background in architecture and performing arts. He describes his style as ultra glamorous and oozing with high voltage sex appeal. Reco has moved up in the industry from designing costumes for campus queens to dressing celebrities, and is now approaching his tenth year in the fashion industry as a freelance designer. Reco currently owns the studio 423 Clothing Boutique of Chattanooga and is the Creative Director of his own line, “The House of Chapple,” which he describes as a lifestyle line focusing on everything from luxurious gowns to sexy swimsuits and most he is delving into fragrances, jewelry, and even books aimed at helping young entrepenuers. When it comes to fashion tips, Reco declares, "Do it!" And then, pause of reflection, states "…but don’t overdo it."

OK…Somebody get Reco a sandwich, make him eat it and do NOT allow him to purge afterwards

Ha! yea thin indeed but idk i kinda like him...he might be one of my favs...still too early to tell.

I’m just afraid someone will leave a window open and he will be caught in a sudden updraft

This guy is so obnoxious. What a show-off. Hope he gets booted off.

I finally figured out who he reminds me of - that comic J.J. Walker on the old "Good Times" show. I quit watching it because he totally ruined the show. Esther Rolle and John Amos - both excellent trained actors - should not have had to put up with such a jerk.

idk what it is but for some reason i kinda like this guy! Yea he annoys the other designers a bit but thats no different than Santino from PR.

Lovin' me some Reco! And the part that I really like is that he seems to be able to back up his 'smack talking'! He's going to be driving the other designers crazy, though. Was glad to see him win the last competition.

Is Reco one of the many ~~famewhores~~idiots who've migrated over to this show from some other one? He sure seems like it. I recall reading that this show was FILLED with people like that.

Sure, he's skilled with great sewing skills but I don't really like his taste. I didn't see anything special with the mini dress that won in the shoe challenge. And that ensemble with the ruffles at the front looked like something that JC Penney or Kohl's would sell (although the execution was fabulous). I did like the ski jumpsuit, though.

Would have to agree with SwissMiss. This guy is annoying. Guess every show has to have a know-it-all.
