Taking My Time

Reco slows his planning and designing process down this week, and it pays off!

July 1, 2009

Wow. We got dropped off in the hood and were given an address to an unknown place and lo and behold it was a psychic studio. Only in New York. Having passionate work is how she started reading from the Tarot cards. Then she goes on to say to loosen up and have fun with your work. From the reading our challenge was to design anything you liked that you got from your reading. I took time designing and planning for the first time in the competition and hey, it paid off. The judges said when my pantsuit hit the runway the crowd was moved. Kelly and our guest judge said they would love to wear my piece and it was very sophisticated. One more challenge to go and I’ll be in the final four.

Rico,

It;s so wonderful to have someone from our home town to represent us the way you did and I had a blast at your fashion show in Chattanooga, Can't wait till the next one.

Keep up the good work, God bless!

Reco, I think you should have been in the final 3. I can bet that if your designers was in the final 3 you would have won. I stop watching the show and my thousands of my space, and twitter fiends when you were elimnated. I will never again watch another Fashion Show again. I also think you should tryout on Project Runway. They are very, very fair. I think you will have a chance and a good chance at that.

Reco i live alllllll your designs from the fashion show. i wanted u to win this competition so bad but u know what its ok cause ur fan base is huge right now and u will make it in the end.. i want u to design my wedding dress seriously..i love u reco!!!

Hi Reco.

First of all I just want to say congratulations on your performance on Bravo with your designs. It is so amazing we have someone right here in Chattanooga that is so extremely talented, getting seen, getting publicized, and discovered. Chattanooga has so much undiscovered talent here and if is good that you are doing this. You are opening the door and for many others. I am also glad that you did not forget where you came from. I have heard a lot of your interviews here in Chattanooga on Power 94 radio station. I myself is from Chattanooga and used to live in Alton Park projects for about 8 years I believe. I also use to do modeling. I have been thinking about getting back into it. I do have some reserve feelings about it because I am a plus size. I do hear a lot of people tell me that I am still beautiful and nice looking but I guess being ourselves can be our own worst critic. Maybe with your talent and designs you can open a door for some of the black plus size women here in Chattanooga who perhaps maybe want to get in the modeling business. I mean I can see this really getting big for you.

Just thank you so very much for what you have done and is doing. Best wishes to you and I know you are going somewhere, to the top.

RECO, I WAS SO UPSET WHEN YOU WERE ELIMINATED. YOUR DESIGNS WERE HOT.......WHAT IS THE WEBSITE TO YOUR STORE? OH YES, I AM A FAN FOR LIFE. CONTNUE TO REACH FOR THE STARS... MY FRIEND,YOU ARE THE TOP DESIGNER IN MY BOOK. BE BLESSED. MS.C

Reco-
That don't make no sense!! I'm sorry but you are the bomb! I have watched every episode and Bravo made a lot of money off of your personality. No doubt, we need to look for you on the Real Housewive's of Atlanta because Sheree gon need some help with her clothing line okaaayy?? They probably all standing in line to have you as their best friend.

I was captivated from the first moment I saw you and your deigns and your fierceness, then I saw you were from Chattanooga, TN and i was like oh my goodness, for real? I know someone that Pastor's a huge church in that area. You should be designing for him, the first lady, the first momma, sister, daughter, son, dog, cat whatever.

I hope to meet you someday and have you as my personal Will and design my clothes. Hollywood baby! Email me!!

Reco you are a great designer and an inspiration to the industry. Great things are coming your way. I'll miss you and wish you God's speed. Keep the faith!

Reco,
You are truly a unique individual and an amazing designer. You are the reason that I kept watching the show. I am very surprised and upset that you were voted off by the judges. You have so much talent, please keep making beautiful clothes. I hope to someday buy one of your pieces!

Reco,

I was so disappointed that you were asked to leave the show and not allowed to have the viewers decide your fate. I thought the feather dress was creative and colorful. I am a plus size woman and would not dare consider wearing such a design, but I still appreciate the artistry and beauty. Many of your designs were delightful. I loved that opening outfit, but I really couldn't pick a favorite design. They were all pretty cool. I totally appreciated the Aztech theme and love how you worked it through the various designs.

I know you will fulfill your dream to launch a successful line that will be well received by an admiring public. Don't let this travesty quell your creative spirit. I look forward to seeing great fashions from you in the years to come.

Rico,

I definately want that black suit that somehow didnt win... Please I need it!! Size 6...
email me let me know how much I can get it for:)

luv..luv luv your clothes!

RECO !!!
YOU SHOULD HAVE WON !!
Yours was the ONLY COLLECTION that WAS COHESIVE !!

Isaac and miss blah blah REALLY GOT THIS WRONG !!!

YOUR COLLECTION WAS B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L !!!!

Absolutely PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL !!!

I won't watch this show again !!!

They both are VERY boring and uncomfortable hosts anyway and I only continued to watch because of YOUR DESIGNS !!

GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE !!

S.

I found it very surprising that during the season, the judges continuously stressed on the need for designers to present work that would appeal to a wide audience and then turn around and kick Reco off the show.

Of the four collections, I would have bought the most items from his. Every piece caught my attention and most caused me to say, "Wow!" They were infused with bright, bold colours without looking gaudy and they were pieces which I would define as being trendsetting. I also clearly saw the theme being illustrated in the clothing.

The other collection from which I would have purchased one or two pieces was Anna's. I liked Daniella's line but nothing really intrigued me. I liked James-Paul's collection for what it was, but honestly, wouldn't have bought anything there either!

Reco
I was all set to vote for you tonight, but when they eliminated you, I could not vote at all, because I had no one to vote for! You are the best of all of them. I know you will do well, you are an excellent designer. Good luck, and God bless you.

Reco, I am a bit new to Fashion. At least fashion of your Quality,Style and Grace. I'm a woman that has a lot of health problems. I don't get out much so TV is my companion while my husband works. I deal with depression most every day. Since I first saw you I began to smile,inside and out! I absolutely LOVE your designs. I would be proud to wear any of them. These past few weeks I have looked forward to seeing what you will do. I have NOT been let down yet! Nor do I think I would ever be by you or your designs. Thank you for introducing yourself to me and so many others who have enjoyed you. My Prayers and "VOTES" are with you now and for ever!

Reco! I'm so happy for you! I coming to TN just to find out where you sell your garments! Where are they? I need a dress, bad, baby, bad! I hope you win! You are so cutting edge, they don't even see you coming! That's right, keep 'em guessing! Best of luck!

Reco, the Judges did their speaking, now it is time for America to speak, We are going to ring it out loud and clear that you are the winner. We know these shows were taped long ago but they cannot lie to us and pretend that we have the vote and we don"t if that happens then they are in trouble. We are all praying for your success. Make us proud, make us proud.

Reco, The Lord put you in the right place at the right time. Even if the viewer don't feel like you made the Fashion Show. I know you are the Fashion Show. You are going to GREAT places from here baby. God Bless.

I want nearly everything you have made. I hope that you sell the pant suit from week 9 after the show. I would love to own it!

RECO I LOVE YOUR STYLE. TRULY YOU ARE THE TOP DESIGNER IN MY BOOK.GOOD LUCK.

Your suit was soooo! lovely. You were robbed, you should have won. I know you are going to win, look who you have to compeat with! They are very boring they do not inspire me. Who are they making clothes for cause I wouldn't buy any of there clothes. You have this in the bag, I am pulling for you!

I just went online with the hopes of buying that gorgeous pant suit. I, too, hope you win as I think your creations are always beautiful and desirable. Best of luck.

RECO!!!! I love youuuuuu!! Your designs are wonderful and amazing. You are a grea designer and i ook up to you. I know that you will go vey far i this competetion and I'd love to see you win. Good luck babe

RECO, THE PANTSUIT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CA'NT WAIT UNTIL ALL YOUR DESIGNS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO BUY. YOU REALLY WON THAT CHALLENGE HANDS DOWN, I DO'NT CARE WHAT THE JUDGES SAY, HOW CAN THEY THINK THAT DRESS ANNA DESIGNED WAS EVEN CLOSE TO A WINNING LOOK? I NEED YOU TO STAY FOCUS AND KEEP TO YOURSELF BECAUSE THEY ALL KNOW YOU ARE THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!! YOUR COMMENTS ARE YOUR OPINION AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEM ANYTIME YOU WANT, SO TO THE PERSON THAT WANTS YOU TO LOSE BECAUSE YOU ARE SO STRAIGHT FORWARD I SAY ATLEAST YOU ARE NOT TALKING BEHIND ANYONE'S BACK LIKE THE OTHERS DO, THAT'S THE COWARD'S WAY. YOU DO'NT NEED FRIENDS BECAUSE THIS IS STILL A COMPETITION AND IN THE END, WATCH HOW THEY START TO TREAT EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY ANNA AND DANIELLE. LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! STAY BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!

Why are your designs not listed for sale? I see many items I would purchase. I loved the black pant suit with white piping.

OMG!!!! I loved your pants suit....i mean the dress was great, but you suit was awesome. Her dress was for a specific group I felt. Your suit was universal. So many people could see themselves in it rather rich or your average mom. It was SEXY!!!. I wanted to buy it but you didnt win :(.Best of luck babe.

You are definitely a talented designer. To cut a pattern on material without a pattern is amazing. I love to sew but I have to use a pattern. I think you will go far. However, being confident in yourself is great but your snobbish remarks, I think, are totally uncalled for. Your remarks diminish the quality of the artist in you. Like I said, I think you will go far but because of your remarks, I hope you lose. To belittle other people to try to make yourself look good just makes you look bad.

To Reco... Love your designs, but please keep some of your comments to yourself. Good luck!!!

I think you are an extremely talented man. Do you still live in Chattanooga or have you moved to New York? I believe your pants suit should have won the competition.

I just love your work.All your clothing seem to be something that every woman can wear and be comfortable, elegant, and sexy in. When she steps into the room in your design heads are going to turn. I cant wait to see what else you bring to the table. There are BIG THINGS POPPIN for you! Stay focused and continue to create great clothing because you are going to go far!!!! God Bless you.

Love you and everything you create. You are simply amazing and I love your ability to complete your garments so much quicker than the others - great work ethic that will serve you well in the phenomenal career that is coming your way. You're the very best!

You are far and away the best designer, consistently producing amazing designs. You will be very successful and I will buy your clothes in a heartbeat(if I can afford them!). By the way, you should have won not Anna. Hers was great but yours was better.

RECO that dress was fiyah!!! Consider me biased because I'm a Delta and I love red!!! No really, I love the shape of the dress and the off the shoulder look. Just keep doing what you do and be true to your sense of style.

reco BRAVO thank you for making me laugh through all the things i have been going thru lately u r the star of rhe show thank i cant wait to wear your designs

I would first like to say that the only reason why I now love to watch this show is because of you Reco.I would love to be your friend. Plus you remind me of this friend that I use to go out with long ago.I no with you as my designer I would really be the HBIC in my small town. I also belive that you should have won the challenge last week that pants suit was to die for. I could see myself in it going to my favorate spot. I love you Reco keep up the good work. You are my no.1

Reco,
Brilliant design last week. You should have won! Any chance you'll be producing that outfit? I simply must have it! Routing for you as the winner, you are amazingly talented.

Reco you have that WOW factor...I love your passion, pizzaz and most of all your talent. That Black pant suit was gorgeous. And I think you should have won over Anna....Hope to see you in the final four!!!!.....Wishing you the very best!

reco love love your collection

I love your designs! You take chances, and they make sense and are visually stimulating. Take it to the top!

I just love your fashion. I would love you to design something for me. Good luck.

You were feelin it this week Rico, stay in that zone. The pantsuit was hot!!

Reco,
Your designs are on the money. While I am not runway thin, I would wear your designs, my particular favorites are the black pants suit and the red not so Halston dress. I would like to do some business with you while you are in the New York area. You are very talented.
Good Luck in the competition.

RECO.....YOU R THE BEST THERE SO I WANT YOU TO CONFIDENT YOURSELF DO MORE RESEARCH ON OTHER FASHION DESIGNERS SO THAT U R NOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD AGAIN...BECAUSE YOU CAN WIN THIS...SHOW DANIELLE SHE IS NOT IN YOUR GREAT CATEGERORY...AND BE CAREFUL OF HER SHE IS EVIL RECREATED...DID YOU SHE THE EVIL LOOK SHE GAVE JOHNNY WHEN HE WON...THAT GIRL IS EVIL...BE CAREFUL....
I LOVE ALL YOUR DESIGNS....BOY YOU CAN REALLY SEW...ALLL THE BEST..THE COMPETITION IS YOURS.

Don't like your comments or attitude. You could do much better with a more pleasing personality. Designs are ok

Reco, I love you and your designs. The pant suit was made with a broad audience appeal: sexy and covered as Isaac said. I hope to see your work in all markets one day soon. God Bless You and Yours.

Reco baby, you are it no one better Anna's dress please a little of project runway in there, seen it done if you guys remember. How could that dress win over that suit? I want to purchase that suit and I know I'm not the only one tell me how can I get to buy that i went crazy when I saw it, joined this site to find it.You and Merlin was my reason to watch with him being gone the show will lose something but staying tuned for you dont even worry about Daniella boring A!! just brush her off your shoulders baby she's not going anywhere but in the trash right along with that sh!! she calls fashion.RECO BEST OF LUCK BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

just saw your collection..... LOVED IT

Reco, that is what your designs are papi, RRRRICO! You are the only reason I am watching every episode on pins and needles, cheering you on the whole way. Just know ,baby boy, you have much love out here, especially down here in the dirty dirty. Keep on doin' what you do, honey!

Reco,

You were shorted this go around because your design was by far the best. The way the psychic spoke could have been interpreted any kind of way-that was just an excuse for them not to give you the win. Anyhoo, keep up the hard work. I can't wait to see you in the finals!

Reco's pours his heart out and expresses his pain and love and anger and bitterness, from what only reco knows but it pours out in his best work.

I would showcase any of his "true to reco" designs and would sell everyone.

Reco! Do you!

the suit you made is so awesome! i really like the detail you put into your clothing. keep up the good work!
