The best and worst in fashion this week: Bargains, Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton
What we love, we're buying and we're not sure about
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.We love… Knit wit
Knitwear and sports trainers are not the most natural of collaborations but quirky Brit brand Sibling has teamed up with Puma on a range of trainers. While not exactly featuring woolly warmers, the styles come adorned with the brand’s signature bright prints.

We’re not sure about… Bargain hunters
There’s something about the word "sale" that makes shopping decorum fly right out of the window. It’s not just sharp elbows to watch out for. In the midst of such a shopping frenzy is often where the worst purchasing decisions are made. Navigate those sale rails carefully.
We’re buying… Pick-me-ups
Cold weather and over-indulgence can leave even the hardiest festive reveller in need of a bit of TLC. Aromatherapy Associates has just the treat with its 30th anniversary Renewing Rose Body Velvet which provides skin with well needed nourishment.

We can’t wait for… McQueen moment
As we head into 2015 the eagerly anticipated opening date of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty draws closer. The exhibition hosted at the V&A celebrates the work of the visionary designer. You’ll find us first in line on opening day.
14 March to 19 July, vam.ac.uk
We’re visiting… Glam getaway
For those lucky enough to be escaping Blighty by way of Heathrow Terminal 5, there’s a treat in store with Louis Vuitton’s brand spanking new store. The retail location will house the brand’s entire product offering including, of course, luggage.
