You don’t need a sewing machine to fix your fit.
Rip & Sip is a hands-on workshop for men and male-identifying individuals who are ready to rethink their relationship with style.
Led by menswear designer Ayana Ames and community facilitator Abby Allen, this experience blends real talk, creative exploration, and garment redesign—without the pressure to sew or know fashion rules.
You’ll bring a garment you’re ready to rework. We’ll provide the tools, prompts, trims, and vibe.
We’ll explore:
- Why most clothes don’t feel quite right—and how to change that
- The intersection of fit, style, and confidence
- No-sew & low-sew techniques to redesign & personalize your look
- Pieces from Ayana’s Am.A-line Collection as inspiration
- A more expressive, sustainable approach to menswear
What to Expect:
- Conversation, deconstruction, and hands-on design
- Personal guidance from Ayana + soulful facilitation from Abby
- Tools, trims, and light refreshments provided
What to bring:
A garment you want to rip and remix—shirt, jacket, or pants work best
Who It's For:
- Men and masculine-presenting individuals
- Creatives, stylists, and culture-forward thinkers
- Anyone tired of clothes that don’t feel like them
- Those curious about sustainable fashion and personal expression
