About Us

​

Born from the creative vision of designer Chris Leba in 2009, R13 has established itself as New York’s definitive avant-garde fashion house. We channel the raw energy of punk rebellion, streetwear culture, and 90s counterculture into every stitch, creating wearable art for those who dare to stand apart.

At our core lies the “Rebel With A Cause” philosophy – a commitment to craftsmanship that merges Italian tailoring precision with Japanese denim artistry. Our signature distressed jeans, oversized silhouettes, and bold graphics aren’t just clothing; they’re battle cries against conformity. Each hand-finished piece, from asymmetrical cuts to grunge-inspired flannels, carries the spirit of cultural icons who changed the game.

From our Soho flagship to our Asian boutiques in Shanghai and Chengdu, we’ve built spaces where fashion rebels gather. R13 exists for those who understand that true luxury means wearing your attitude – where underground edge meets runway sophistication.

As a certain rock legend once said: “They laugh at me cause I’m different. I laugh at them cause they’re all the same.” This isn’t just our inspiration – it’s our DNA. Welcome to the revolution.
