House Of Chapple INC
Reco Chapple is a fashion designer, creative director, and entrepreneur, and the founder of House of Chapple — an independent luxury fashion house based in Atlanta, Georgia. Chapple launched the brand in 2000 while attending Tennessee State University on a full engineering scholarship, eventually leaving that path to build House of Chapple from the ground up. Over more than 25 years, the house has become known for its couture and custom work spanning ready-to-wear, evening wear, bridal, pageantry, ballroom, and performance wear for men and women — earning recognition as the first self-founded fashion brand in ballroom, and the moniker "The Inconquerable House of Chapple."
Chapple's designs have been worn by Toni Braxton, Kandi Burruss, and Niecy Nash, including Burruss's wedding gown — a design credited with influencing wider use of mesh fabrics for various skin tones across the prom industry. Chapple's work and presence have been featured on Bravo's The Fashion Show, Kandi's Wedding Special, Married to Medicine, Braxton Family Values, and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and Chapple has worked as a costume designer and consultant for film and television, including What to Expect When You're Expecting.
Beyond the runway, Chapple currently holds the title of Mr. People's National 2025–2026 and serves as Father ATL of the Iconic House of Saint Laurent. Chapple is also the founder of the Becoming Legendary Fashion Foundation, supporting fashion education and mentorship, and created House of Chapple TV's Sew Like a Pro series to teach sewing to the next generation of designers, alongside the community-focused Kings Koat Drive.
