Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

THE ACCESSORIES
Rebecca Gonsalves: Spot the difference between the fabulous Ms Jones and all the other glamorous sexagenarians.
Hugh Montgomery: The best Rollerball remake that's yet to happen.
THE COAT
Rebecca: Whether it's fur or faux, there's something of the Cruella de Vil about a pelt lined in scarlet silk.
Hugh: Fearsome – you could be garrotted by its swish alone.
THE BOOTS
Rebecca: Platform boots are rather fitting for an artist who sees all the world as her stage.
Hugh: The first shoes we have ever seen that make feet look like horse heads. And for that we can only applaud them.
THE BELT
Rebecca: Everyone knows Alaïa is a way-important designer, but one of his corset belts is still second best to Jones's hula-hoop.
Hugh: It's tough being Grace Jones's belt when there are so many eccentric accessories to compete with.
