Dunning grew up in Memphis and
LA. He has early, wilder roots in the LA punk rock scene as
part of the original Gun Club, a seminal noisy punk/blues
band. Widely praised as designer to the stars such as Tom
Ford, Sofia Coppola, and Demi Moore, Brad has been featured
in Architectural Digest and created a look the magazine calls
Cocktail Modern. Plus, he helped restore Neutra's famous Kaufmann
House by Neutra in Palm Springs, where he’s been
active for 20 years helping
preserve MCM houses and buildings.
