With 20 years in the fashion industry—including time at Madewell and Woolrich—Allison believes getting dressed should be simple, thoughtful, and built to last.

After moving home to the Midwest in 2020, she began tailoring shirts for herself and friends, focusing on fit, proportion, and ease.

Rephrase, launched in 2022. Every piece is sourced and sewn in Cincinnati, Ohio, with an emphasis on timeless design, sustainability, and ethical manufacturing. All of our shirts are upcycled from 100% cotton men’s single-needle dress shirts.
