ABOUT
CGB Design Studio is a Detroit-born house of luxury fur outerwear and leather design built on discipline, expertise, and an unshakable commitment to quality. Founded by designer Grantston Bullard, the studio is recognized for its precision in sourcing, construction, and finishing — producing garments that merge couture-level technique with unapologetic presence.
Bullard’s four-decade career in leather and fur design has earned him direct sourcing relationships with elite textile and leather suppliers. His access to artisanal materials — including premium lamb, shearling, and exotic finishes — allows him to create garments with superior durability, tactile richness, and technical refinement. Each piece is engineered for lasting performance and visual command — a signature of the CGB design language.
Andre “Dre” Clemons serves as creative director, responsible for shaping how CGB is seen, felt, and experienced. With a professional background in automotive design, product development, and manufacturing systems, Clemons brings a calibrated eye for proportion, environment, and aesthetic cohesion. His leadership ensures that Grantston’s creations are contextualized with bold visual narratives — from brand presentation to in-store ambience and retail architecture.
Positioned on Detroit’s iconic Livernois Avenue — known as the Avenue of Fashion — CGB is part of a lineage of independent retail, creative entrepreneurship, and neighborhood-centered commerce. Unlike brands whose identity depends on external glamour or metropolitan spotlight, CGB draws its strength from authenticity, cultural grounding, and the belief that luxury can exist on community streets as powerfully as it does on global runways.
CGB is not trend-driven. It is standard-driven. We produce garments for individuals with assured identity, refined taste, and an appreciation for craftsmanship that is both visible and invisible. Every seam, every cut, every textile selection is deliberate. Every collection is designed to communicate strength without aggression — elegance with edge.
