5 Stylish Items to Buy This Week

The folks at imogene + willie love Los Angeles. “Every single piece of clothing we make passes through the L.A.-based sewing room team's hands,” they say. “With every single one of them making it possible for i+w to be what it is.” So to help out, they're releasing a special-edition screen-printed tee ($68).
