You don’t need a sewing machine to fix your fit.

Rip & Sip is a hands-on workshop for men and anyone who loves menswear 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:
Bring a shirt, jacket, or pants to rip, sip, and reimagine.

Who It's For:
- Men, masculine-presenting individuals, and anyone else curious about menswear
- Creatives, stylists, and culture-forward thinkers
- Anyone tired of clothes that don’t feel like them
- Those curious about sustainable fashion and personal expression

All genders welcome—come make something for yourself or someone you love.
