Insider interview with fashion designer Chris Leba.
Learn how he started his career and the different challenges he had to go through.
He gives tips on starting out in the design field such as:
How to priotitize workoad
What gives you an edge?
What mistakes to watch out for as a beginner
Chris Leba is the creative director and CEO of the fashion company R13.
When I asked who/what else influences you?
He said he loves Maison Margiela, Steve Sprous, and Comme des Garçons. These being his earliest influences. He was also very influenced by music like punk and later grunge but said that:
open since 2019, coming out with a Fall 2023 ready to wear collection, and so much more to come.
It wasn’t always like this for Chris Leba. In my interview with him I asked what his education was like.
R13 takes heavy influence from the punk and grunge culture. Leba’s use of distressed flannels and denim, along with he uses of very oversized silhouettes is an easy indicator of this.
The world around us and the differnt cultures we see can be such easy influences that can even easier be looked over looked. This is a great reminder of that. R13 is flurishing, having a flagship store in SoHo, New York, only being
He let me know that before he was an elite fashion designer Mr. Leba was going to school to become a doctor. He soon realized that medical school was not for him but this wasn’t an easy decision for him to make. Mr. Leba’s parent were not on board with him going to school for fashion design. Yet he didn’t let this get in his
“The greatest Influence on my design is a cultural influence verse designers.”This “drop neck Work-shirt - Graffiti Plaid”, taken directly from the R13 website, as seen above is a great example of his unique style. Especially how it is styled and photographed.
way in his words:
“I just sorta went for it, I mean I was always sorta creative.”
He soon found himself following his brother and applying to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. This ended up being the best decision he could have made. He said:
“Where I was struggling in medical school, you know, in design school I really like sort of performed above average.”
He said his education at FIT was great and he soon saw himself at the top of his classes. He really enjoyed it.
Saying:
“
It is still probably one of the best memories I have”
He said “After school I naively started my business right away. You know I didn’t have any experience so obviously it did not work out. A lot of lessons were learn from failing in that first business”
He really began his design career when he got an internship at J-Crew. He went on to work for Tommy Hilfiger, American Eagle Outfitters, and Polo Ralph Lauren. When he got his first real fashion design
job it was with Polo Ralph Lauren. He work directly under Ralph and he gained his first professional connection. Leba worked as a SVP with Ralph Lauren for nineteen years from 1997 - 2016. He left because ultimately he wanted to own his own company and
he said:
When he relaunched his company in 2009 he was still working for Ralph Lauren and was early seen in the public and this was because he wanted to keep his two worlds separate because he had so much respect for Ralph. When he did finally quit in 2016 he shifted his whole energy into R13. R13 launched in the news show room which at the time was a very prestigious showroom. He says to just focus on your work because there is so much competition out there and you should try to perfect yours. This worked very well for him as you can see pictured in the bottom right is his fall 2023 ready to wear collection featured on the Vogue runway app.
During my interview with Leba I asked him for any advice he could give me ranging from: “how do you deal with time management” to “What do employers value most about your skills? What gives. you an edge?”. So lets get into it. Starting with: How did you get yourself out there so people noticed you or your work? He said to just try to reach out to as many people as possibly. As I said earlier R13 was launched on a news show room. This is because Leba reached out and they liked what he was doing. He really just wanted to show the world his talent and he didn’t let anyone get in his way of that. He says:
“Just focus on your work because there is so much competition out there and you should try to perfect yours.”
What he wanted most was to express himself with his work and have everyone else see that.
What kind of impact do you want your work to have? He said:
“My Last job was as a SVP for Ralph Lauren and all that success in corporate America really kept me away from my dreams and as I got older it was like its now or never”Peice from R13 Fall 2023 Vougue runway
To be honest that was not something that I was concerned about. The kind of impact I was looking for was how it impacted me. As far as really satisfying myself. I wanted to have an impact on my life in that way (Getting out of corporate jobs and starting his own company) and my since of self. But not really to, in the fashion industry, I wasn’t really looking to have any impact. It wasn’t what I was focusing on”
It’s not that he didn’t care about the impact that his work had on people it’s more that he wanted to make sure that what he was doing was perfect to himself before he felt right
showing it to other people. He wanted to put all his efforts into perfecting his style and technique. He was really focused on wanting to express himself with his work and showing the world his talent.
Working in the fashion design industry can be very difficult in many ways and its different for everyone. Especially when you are running your own company. Being the CEO of a company can have many challenges and be very stressful so my next question was: What’s the most challenging aspect of your job?
He said:
“As the CEO of R13 the more challenging aspect is really the people and everyone has there wants and needs and peoples performance in genreal are very inconsistent and that just part of being a human being so really just managing all of those things, I find it like most difficlte aspect.”
He says this because other things can be boilded down to just black and white or 2 + 2 = 4 but with people there are a lot of variables and people are very complex and the more people you manange the more
Peice from R13 Fall 2022 lookbook on website
complex it is, and in a way a team is like any other team like in sports, you have to have a lot of energy and it is a very complex process.
Other that challanges you have to be have disapline if you want to run a comapany so I asked him:
How do you deal with time management?
He said:
I sort of innately understand the big picture and then focus on one thing and then get it executed. The key is to not get distracted until you get that (first thing) done. Basically, if you have ten tasks to do and start all of them at the same time is like not getting anything done at all but if you do one at a time and get at least five done then you are halfway there and that is better to me.
He stays very focus on things telling people “Don’t talk to me I’m focusing on this” because “It is critically for me to be efficient.”
This leads into the next question:
How do you prioritize your work/workload?
For this he uses an analogy: “if you had big rocks, medium rocks, and small rocks and had to fit them into a container than you should start with the big rocks and then go down the line and you should do the same with your work, doing the hardest things first and then go down.”
If you can manage your time and workload than you should be able to manage a healthy work/life balance, right? While...
How do you manage a healthy work/life balance?
“I don’t, and I find that most CEO’s don’t”.
He feels conflicted because when he spends time away from work to hangout with his daughters he feels he is not doing enough at work but when he spends too much time at work he feels as though he
doesn’t spend enough time with his family. He is still trying to get better at this and get over this guilt he holds for both.
Finally I have two more questions on advice he would give to designers just starting out
What advice would you give someone starting out in design?
“Focus on really work, work, work, practice and invest in yourself.” You cannot use what isn’t available to you, so your job is to really enrich your mind.” He uses another analogy that is “there is the pantry and then there is the cook, but the cook cannot cook what is not in the pantry”
So for young designers he says to “go stock your pantry” and by that he means educate yourself as best you can, study
You maybe wondering; What does R13 mean? Well in a 2019 interview with La Grande Boutique Leba said when he was in the first stages of reshearching a name he wanted to find something that “was foundational in American history that also had an edge.” He found the “Join or Die” flag from the American Revolutionary War. He said;
“The flag represents the need for unity to create the Union, regardless of the colonies’ differences, to fight for independence. This was metaphoric for the vision I had for R13. I wanted to represent the contrast in American beliefs, opinions, and style but show that we all come together for the love of freedom of expression and ideas. From here, I came up with the name R13, which is a backwards abbreviation of 13 rattles”
He said: “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger and beginners seem to think that the mistakes that they make kill them. Its good to start out by learning off of someone’s back by getting a job so that you can learn.”
He talked about the fact that if he gave up after trying to start his company the first time then he would have never gotten to where he is now. And
as much as you can about great designs and designers. Be willing to try things out and make mistakes. One of the best ways that a human being can learn is by making mistakes, like when you are just starting to walk. If you gave up the first time you fell down no one would be able to walk. He said:
“The more mistakes we make the better we get”.
If we allow every little mistake that we make in our lives make us give up and quit we would get anywhere in life. So don’t let the mistakes you make define you. Keep getting up and trying again and again. Learn from every mistake you make.
This leads me into the last question
What do you see as some of the biggest beginner career mistakes in the industry?
Peice from R13 Fall 2018 seen on the Vogue app
Photo from R13 Fall 2023 seen on the Vogue app
starting a business and losing it is a big mistake to make. He said that he learned from his failures and his company today is better then it has ever been.
Chris Leba has already done so much in his life, from starting at medical school be being a great designer. These are just the opinions of others though. What else could he want to achieve? Well he says that he feels stratified with where he is at, yet if he had not started his own business then there would have been many regrets. He says that today he doesn’t really have any regrets. He says,
“It’s more important to me to have a “great” company than having a successful company”
And he means that there are so many companies out there that are successful, yet they lack the quality. He wants to produce a constant quality level of pieces and he says that is not something that can just be achieved but is something that you are constantly fighting for. He wants to be able to look back and say “that was a job well done”. And he say that his biggest accomplishment was starting his own company.
Getting to interview Chris Leba was such a cool experience. I am really into fashion and am a really big fan of his clothing brand R13. I relate to him so much with his love for fashion, his inspirations for fashion, and also starting in the healthcare field before changing to design. He gave me such amazing tips on getting started in the design field. And getting to hear his story about starting out to where he is now was amazing. I think one of the coolest aspects of learning more about him was the fact that he doesn’t have a lot of media presents and there aren’t many interviews with him or his story out there. Up until a couple of years ago he didn’t show his face much in the media and with his brand getting major headlines now it was insane he took the time to talk to me.
I think what I learned the most for this segment of the publication was that its okay to fail but you can’t let those failures define who you are. If you can keep pushing forward and don’t give up you will have a much better chance at exceeding and making something big of yourself. I think another thing making this publication has taught me is to reach out to people in the industry. Don’t hold yourself back because you don’t think they are going to answer you. Just keep trying and be persistent and someone will get back to you.
“I feel very lucky that I had the talent, discipline and skillet to really take a stab at something that was my dream”.
From being a boy who grew up in Wisconsin and having a love for sports to helping turn the LA Rams into a brand that actually competes with the Dodgers and Lakers in this market
Never before seen photos of Dangerfields early work and newer work that’s not public
Learn how a graphic designer for a NFL team got his position and hear the advice he has for you! Read the full interview with Shawn Dangerfield
Shawn Dangerfield is a graphic designer who works for the Los Angeles Rams football team. He has been workinng for them for the past nine years, starting back in 2014.
Shawn went to the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with the intentions of study architecture. After being there for a year he decided that it
wasn’t working for him and after a speacker from a local tech collage came to talk about differnt programs he heard about graphic design. He then transfered to Gateway Technical Collage and began studying graphic communications. He soon graduated with a degree in graphic communications and went on to look for a job.
Dangerfield always had a passion for sport and art. When in highschool he took every art class that he could and said:
“During my whole time at high school, I took every art class I could and even made up extra independent study classes to spend more time in the art room.”
The first job he landed was with as a volunteer for the Chicago Bandits professional softball team. He decided to just reach out and to his luck they ansered. After a year, Shawn became their designer, earning $1000 a month. He didn’t stay with the Bandits for very long. He started reaching out to other sports teams for internships and ended up getting on with the St. Louis Rams and did a 7 month internship with them. He knew he wanted to find
a stable job so he put his work on a website called Behance and started reaching out to companies and other designers. He said:
“From a design standpoint though, social media was not a big thing when I was starting out. I never posted my work and had interest in gaining a following. I think I’m still behind the times in that space.”
He didn’t post that much work on behance but used it more as a place for people to view his portfolio and instead went out of his way to reach out to people to find work. And it ended up working out for him! He soon found himse lf sitting in the LA Rams recruitment office applying for a job on the graphic desig team. Dangerfield has worked as part of the Los Angeles Rams graphic design team for the past 10 years. He enjoys being a part of team but doesn’t mind the idea of
Both photos were made to advertise the rams going to the 2020 superbowl
having people work under him For the past two years he has been working in higher management and has been able to manage other employees. Although he says:
“I have never truly been the one in charge. We’ve always had a creative director above me. Someday soon I would like to run the show somewhere.”
Working for such a big spots team can be stressful, with workload, trying to maintain a
social life, and trying to stand out in the crown with other talented designers. So I asked him some questions on advise for new designers regarding these struggles.
With advice for new designers
Starting with workload/time managment. He says that he is a big list person and recomands writing everythinng down because thats what works best for him. Keeping the most recent and accurate information in one place so that you can look at it and determine what should be the biggest priority when you choose to work on it. He says “I just stick to my lists and try to take one project at a time. I try to focus on what is most important while often knocking out smaller projects
quicker first to clear my way.”
When it comes to maintaing a work/life balance he has a harder time with this. It’s something that he is still trying to get better at. He said that when he first started out that he was the only designer at the Rams and was so excited with the work that he was doing that he ended up spending most of his free time working on projects after hours in the Marketing room while watching sports. He said:
“I’ve tried to live my whole career avoiding stress and the best way I dealt with it is to never feel overwhelmed with work. I lived with the mentality of “Why try to do everything in 40 hours when there are 168 hours in a week. (more like 120 hours if you remove sleep.)””
His social life was not comepletly gone though because he has met most of his friends from working at the rams and also has a girlfirend who works at the rams with him. Onstanding out I asked him:
What do employers value most about your skills? What gives. you an edge?
“I didn’t come from a marketing background but I was first brought in as part of the marketing team with the Rams so I was able to see things from a new perspective. I’ve made it a point to be very thoughtful and helpful about things outside of design. I enjoy thinking operationally and want to know the what and the why to things. I ask valuable questions and try to bring different perspectives to the conversation”
To just know design is one
thing but being able to bring a differnt perspective to the table is such a valuable asset to employeers. Some advice that he has to designer just starting out in the industry is:
“I thought I was so talented when I was in college and early in my career but I can look back and see how terrible most of my work was. Whether you feel confident or not, you need to just keep designing and eventually things just continue to get easier and more efficient. You need reps at anything to truly work towards excellence. Never strive for perfection, strive for excellence.”
One day you will look back and think the same thing so don’t get disheartened if the work you make doesn’t seem to be perfect! Just keep trying and learning from your mistakes.
Working for such a well known sports teams has taught Dangerfield a lot. I asked him in our interviw: How have you evolved as an artist/designer? And what should new designers being thinkin g about when wanting to evolve?
“The biggest part of evolving as a designer seems to be just knowing the capabilities of
the programs we are using. Photoshop from 12 years ago is crazy different from the photoshop of today. You need to constantly adapt and learn how each program can best help you.”
Programs that all designers use tend to change and update all the time. Trying to stay up to date on one is hard enough but by the time that you will be in the field you will be using so many different ones. Investing in yourself and you profesion is so important. You should try to get to know as much as you can about these programs whenever you can.
The final two questions I asked Dangerfield in our interview was What are some of your biggest or most important accomplishments in your career so far?
He said:
“I think it’s pretty cool to be able to creative graphics that are seen by millions of people. I’m lucky to have that kind of opportunity. Working as part of a team though, I don’t know how many real big accomplishments I can say I’ve had from a career standpoint. Being part of a Super Bowl winning team is pretty cool though. Opening
up the new stadium has been a really cool experience. Helping turn the LA Rams into a brand that actually competes with the Dodgers and Lakers in this market has been a huge accomplishment.”
And for the last question I asked (Very long answer) What else would you like to achieve in your life/work?
He said:
“I remember thinking during my first few weeks as an intern that I didn’t understand why people leave this company. And our staff was very young overall so it confused me. Fast forward to many years later and it’s a lot more clear why people leave. Working in sports is not usually a profession that pays the best. I remember being
thrilled when my first full time offer was $32k. I could have probably made 80-100k as a freelance designer in my first year out of college but the idea of needing to constantly find my own work to make any money has really turned me off on freelancing. So far in my time with the Rams, I got to be a part of some major brand campaigns, before helping the organization move across the country, then being involved in the process of developing new logos and new uniforms, and most importantly, be part of an organization that won a championship. There isn’t too much more for me to accomplish at my current job. I think I am nearing the time where I can move on and lead a new team of people in something new. I’ve only been
managing other employees for about 2 years but I have never truly been the one in charge. We’ve always had a creative director above me. Someday soon I would like to run the show somewhere. I also don’t think I plan to stay in the team side of sports for much longer. I’ve been here for 10 years now and it’s time for new challenges.”
Getting to work with Shawn Dangerfield was such a great experience. He was so open to conversation very quick to reply. He gave me access to some his old and newer work and allowed me to use the photos for the publication. He gave me so much incite into working as a graphic designer and allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed. I really related to his story because I also come from a small town in Wisconsin and followed my older sibling to a collage. I also didn’t start my major in design like him but after learning that my old major wasn’t for me and learning about graphic design I switched. I also related to him by wanting to do something in the arts and making art whenever I can. For his passion was with sports and he said that whenever he had assignments he would base his assignments off of his passion for sports as for me I do the same but with fashion.
My over all experience with making this segment of the publication was great. I realize from Shawn how important is to have to be constantly learning about the softwares and applications that a designer has to use. Applications such as Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, etc, are constantly changing and to be a successful designer keeping up with the changes is very important.
Hear about the story of how this young man started taking photos for small artits to working with some of the biggest artists in the industry.
Working with the likes of Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Nas X, Nike, and many many more.
Gibson Hazard is a little different from the other designers that I interviewed and researched. He is a
25-year-old collage drop out who started his career at the age of 16 when he was running a page on ebay. He was selling posters that he found on the internet and edited. He was soon sent a cease and desist letter by a management group called Revels Group because Hazard had used a label cover of one of their clients. He stop selling on ebay and started taken photos for performers and concerts. He had always been interested in photography. He would work as hard as he could on his photography. Because he dropped out of college all his free time he his used going to concerts and taking pictures of artists performing. According to the Rolling Stone magazine, Gibson was able to start getting
noticed after he took photos for Sammy Adams. Sammy Adams is an American rapper and singer who shared the photos that Hazard took and told who took them. Hazard started getting recognized. Gibsons life stared to change very quickly after this.
After the photos shared by Sammy Adams Hazard got asked to take photos for William Bolton, a European pop singer. Hazard was asked to join them on the 2016 tour. While on tour he was asked to vlog Boltons activities. Hazard hadn’t ventured into videography yet but he said in a GQ interview from 2021
“You know how when you haven’t done something before, you don’t think about the right way to do it, you just start and figure it out as you go? When I was on tour at the beginning, I’d never made a video in my life.”
After this tour Hazard started getting more into videography. He started make short films teaching himself as much as he could.
In 2018 Hazard was hired by Drake to help out on his Aubrey and the three Amigos world tour. This was a one of his most notable jobs that really started his career with working with major artists and brands. The tiring process took six weeks long where he was
working non stop. He help in making a video for the tour and graphics. The video can be found on his YouTube or on his website gibsonhazard.com.
Not so long after working with Drake Hazard was asked to make a commercial for an NFL spot for Nike. It was sound-tracked by Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode.” This can also be seen on his website. During this time he was really only editing pre-recorded footage.
That was until 2020 when rapper Lil Uzi Vert came across some of Hazards old work that he had put out on YouTube and got in contact with him. Uzi wanted Hazared to make a music video for one of the songs on off his new album Eternal Atake, that was supposed to be dropping later that year. Working with Uzi on this video was one of the first times that Hazard had
work with a real set and real budget.
He said in a interview with Complex:
“I’m used to doing all of this myself pretty much. It was definitely a whole new experience. But, it was mad cool.”
Working with Uzi help Hazard to gain a new friend in the industry for future projects. Hazard told Complex
“The ultimate goal was just to build out a really specific visual world for the album to live in. I want to make shit that absolutely fucks people up, and blows their minds and just make them want to throw their phones after watching it, because it’s so crazy,” Hazard tells
Complex. “I’ve been really inspired by the idea of movie trailers recently. I always feel like I’m wasting time watching movies because they’re so slow. I like trailers much more because the goal is to put as much crazy shit as you can in a short amount of time which I really like, and I really connect with.”
Working on this video really helped him change his love from photography to videography. He found that making videos was his real passion. Saying:
“They were trash and they didn’t sell. But I ended up
just falling in love with concert photography. I went to Chapman University for two months and then I dropped out. The photography thing wasn’t going that well. I realized I had to make a change, and video was that change.”
Making videos was the right choice for Hazard. This would get him to be well know for his great work. His type of videos made him stand out among the rest. He would create crazy video visuals that would contain anything from giant scorpions appearing on stage with artists to people flying out of the sky. Because of his insane and out of the box visuals he got many other jobs of working with people like Call of Duty making a video for the Call of Duty: Warzone video game, making a video for the 2021 Grammys, and working with Dr. Dre to make a tribute video for Kobe Bryant. All these videos can be found on Hazards Y ouTube or on his website. Hazards website contains all
of his biggest videos and acts almost as a portfolio for his work. On his website you can also find a link to his YouTube where he has all his other video projects. He also has his Twitter, Instagram, and Email linked for future employers to reach out. This is how I was able to get in contact with him.
Unfortunately for me when he first replayed he told me that he would be happy to help but was soon caught up in new work and was unable to contact me again. This would make sense though because he was currently working on his newest project which was a music video for Lil Uzi Verts latest release a song titled “Just wanna rock” In this video the rapper Uzi is driving a large tank around downtown New York City. For this video
Downtown New York City had to be shut down because there were so many fans showing up to try to be apart of the video. Cops showed up and some of the fans even got hurt as seen at the end of the video one of the fans there was talked to and he said that he was pepper sprayed yet the young fan said:
“We were right up there, that shit was crazy”
And crazy it was. It is defiantly a must see video. Though so young Hazard has made quite the name for himself. He is currently signed under the Rivals group, which was the same team that sent young Hazard a sise and desist letter when he was running the eBay account. Hazard is consistently looking for new work and with his reputation it shouldn’t be that hard for him. He already has a fan base himself with hundreds of videos up on YouTube of people braking down his v ideos and trying to learn how he makes his unique visuals.
Unfortunately I was unable to get an actual intview with Gibson Hazard because of his demanding schedule. Although researching him was very enjoyable. He has done so much for himself in the design world at such a young age. A big thing that I learn from learning about him was the importance of really putting your self out there. He really focused on his career and invested in himself and what he wanted to do. I have a hard time showing the things that I make sometimes but even he had time with that and admitted that his early work sucked. Yet he can now look back on that and learn from it and he didn’t let that get in his way of making things and showing his work to the world.
My over all experience with making this publication was so fun. I didn’t realize how important it was to really dive deep and research other designers that I like to better help with my own design work. It is one thing to like their work but being able to get to know more about them is a whole other thing. So this experience, I would say was very informative and fun.
