'Cotto was born in San Juan Puerto Rico with an artistic hand. Through his early years he immersed himself in the world of music, art and theater where he discovered his passion for fabrics. After years of working in costuming he associated himself with a major Pet Boutique in Puerto Rico and create the first ever Dog RTW brand to be sold state wide. After perusing his Bachelors and working for local designers he moved to the USA to complete his Graduate Degree. This opened multiple doors in the corporate side of fashion where he currently works while following his passion of Fashion with a purpose. In 2016 he created a brand called The R Gene which purpose is to design pieces of clothing that when worn its aesthetic suggests a genderless, gender bending atmosphere. This curiosity as to whether or not clothing should have a gender started at a young age but was only nurtured during his Academic journey. His statement as designer simply suggests that clothing is just clothing and you as wearers give it its purpose and meaning in today’s society.  https://www.thergene.com/  Video by: Rumwolf Video Productions https://www.rumwolfvideo.com'
