The co-founders Guy Charlot and Derick Graham grew up in the hard streets of Brooklyn NY. A place where the challenge can be so overwhelming very few complete it much less live to accomplish fame and success. In spite of the obstacles presented this dynamic duo is living proof that not only can it be done, it can be "done with style". The pair introduced the apparel as a way to project their chari
smatic rich filled attitude which never fails to draw attention. Since its inception in 2006 the GB collection has parented a number of different stylish trends which not only drew the attention of the fashion world but touched the heart and pocket of consumers. (" We wanted a way to reflect our style and attitude without having to communicate how we feel... you know like a picture, we don't like the idea of defining our clothes we'd rather have our clothes do it for us.") The collection is divided into a number of sub categories from shirts, t-shirts, hats, bottom wear, suits, ties and leather accessories. The company is currently operating intrastate with aspirations of marketing and expanding globally. GB's present goal is to make up for its past absence in the fashion world by tailoring future designs which are timeless in quality in the fabrics of space and time. Much of the companies success can be attributed to it's aggressive guerrilla marketing campaigns and eccentric self reflective designs which illustrate feeling and mood. In an ever growing industry of constant change the Guy Benson collection is making its impression felt and cementing it's presence at the forefront of fashion. The heavy hitters like Sean John, Rocawear, and Russel Simmons Phatfarm have been very successful in their ventures, GB collection looks to be no different.
