The Fashion Audit: Fashion war, fishnet shorts, Launer London and famous fragrances
What we love, we're not sure about, we're buying and can't wait for...
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: Fashion war
Summer months mean road trips to weddings, festivals and beyond. For those who aren't the designated driver, these fashion playing cards are enough to make you wish for a traffic jam. Fashion Face Off, Maia Adams and Erin Petson, £8.95, amazon.co.uk
We're not sure about: Fish-not
Perhaps Rihanna's on-stage sartorial endeavours should come with a "don't try this at home" warning. After Ms Fenton experimented with fishnet shorts at the Hackney weekend The Audit fears for any lesser mortals attempting to follow in her footsteps.
We're buying: Handbags fit for the Queen
Though hers apparently contains nothing more than lipstick and a spare fiver, the Queen's handbag has become a must-have.The company responsible, Launer London, has reported a surge in sales after HM sported three of its designs over the Jubilee weekend. Royale handbag, £1,057, launer.com
We can't wait for: Famous fragrances
Celebrity fragrances rarely seem to have any connection with the spokesperson in question. Lady Gaga's debut olfactory experiment, however, promises to have something of the singer's soul distilled into it as the first black scent promises notes of belladonna, incense and honey drops. The jury's out until it launches in September.
We're visiting: Getting creative
