About Christian Rebely

In 2016, on a small balcony under the Nordic skies, Christian Rebely embarked on a journey that would tear hats out of their traditional context and place them in the borderlands of art and fashion. It began humbly—hats meticulously handcrafted, visions brewed in the creative chaos of the kitchen. Yet, even then, there was a quiet rebellion brewing beneath the surface. Soon, the sewing machine was replaced with blowtorches, sledgehammers, and a relentless hunger for the extraordinary. Christian Rebely didn’t just make hats—he reformed them, transforming them into artworks of double meaning, designed to provoke, fascinate, and inspire.

Christian was the first to take the hat out of its conventional purpose and elevate it to an out-of-context art piece, a creation that could be both worn and exhibited. Each piece carried duality—serving as a functional object and a profound statement of identity and creativity. His work defied conventions, forcing the world to see hats as something far more significant than mere accessories.

His revolution first took the world by storm when he debuted with Bronx and Banco at New York Fashion Week, where his creations were hailed as groundbreaking. His momentum carried him to Oslo Fashion Week, where he collaborated with the iconic Baron von Bulldog, and then to the Haugesund Film Festival, where his hats were celebrated as works of art—cinematic in their essence and as dramatic as the stories they adorned.

Christian Rebely’s hats have since crowned the heads of international supermodels, Olympic world champions, and the elite across film, art, sports, and culture. These are not just hats; they are symbols of courage and individuality, worn by the fearless and the visionary. Each hat embodies a dual meaning, existing as both a functional item and a deeply intentional piece of art.

What truly sets Christian apart is his process. His hats are often created as performance art, where the act of creation is inseparable from the final masterpiece. Every strike of the hammer, every flare of the blowtorch, becomes part of the story. The hats bear the scars of their creation—the energy, the rebellion, the artistry—and become living, breathing artworks.

As the crowning achievement of his journey, Christian Rebely opened a flagship store in Frogner, Oslo, a sanctuary for his vision. This space is more than a shop—it is a cathedral to his rebellious philosophy, where art and fashion collide. Within its walls, each hat tells a story of transformation, creative madness, and a fearless pursuit of authenticity.

Christian Rebely is not just a designer—he is a revolutionary, a philosopher, and a poet. His hats are manifestos, bold declarations of freedom and creativity. In his hands, the humble hat has become a canvas for art, a symbol of rebellion, and an invitation to wear one’s boldest dreams. In Christian Rebely’s world, there are no limits—only infinite possibilities.
