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...

Back to the future

A nod to all things Nineties is popping up at Browns Focus, as the boutique is highlighting the best and brightest of its exclusive new-season buys. Expect neon beanies, slogan jumpers and bold accessories. Until end of March, 38-39 South Molton Street, London W1. brownsfashion.com

We're not sure about...

Chocoholics

The Audit is all for a bit of mint choc chip, but putting it on our mouth with the new chocolate-flavour lip balms from Palmer's rather than in it seems a sadly misguided way to indulge our sweet tooth. boots.com

We're buying...

Briefcase encounters

Christopher Shannon may finally have started designing womenswear for autumn, but for those who just can't wait, it's fair to say that his bright satchel-cum-backpacks for the Cambridge Satchel Company are ripe for reappropriation by the fairer sex. From £285, selfridges.co.uk

We can't wait for...

H&M's new digs

Having proved itself to be very fashion-forward over the past few years, H&M is giving its Oxford Circus flagship store a swishy makeover to match, and the brand has planned four days of music and fashion events to mark the occasion. From 14 March, hm.com

We're saving up for...

Sublime silks

Now fashion collaborations are a regular occurrence, links vary between the inexplicable, tenuous and sublime. A scarf project from Hermès and Comme des Garçons falls into the last category by marrying Rei Kawakubo's anarchism with French heritage. £330 –£1,500, shop.doverstreetmarket.com
