The Fashion Audit: Sail away, ALT TV, A little bit off the top
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.

Designed by Sean Miles to raise awareness of O2's recycling campaign, the collection also includes phones integrated into bags and gloves. o2.co.uk

Sail away
The nautical trend is always big news for summer, and how better to wear it than with an actual sail? Quba's new customisation service allows customers to create one-of-a-kind jackets and bags from sailcloth – with a choice between new or authentically salt-stained material. From £149, quba.com

ALT TV
As editor at large of American Vogue, André Leon Talley's little black book must be fit to burst with fashion's biggest names so speculation about who will be the first guest on his new late-night talk show is the guessing game du jour – even if we have no idea if it'll be coming to UK screens. But surely that's what YouTube is for?

It began in Africa
Attenborough's tour of the continent and its wildlife provided welcome escapism from the gloom of the British winter, and now that the series has come to an end we need to find new ways to get back to nature. Luckily Debenhams' new menswear campaign is a really wild show to see us through.
