Fashion Update: Dress to aid Rwanda
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.You've seen The Dress. You've seen Elizabeth Hurley in The Dress and you've seen the high street knock-offs of The Dress. We are talking, of course, about the safety-pinned numero by Gianni Versace that has spawned imitations and raised quite a few eyebrows.
Now's your chance to see the cheapest ever version of The Dress - possibly under pounds 25 - and to help Oxfam's fund-raising efforts for Rwanda at the same time. On 24 August 1pm the Oxfam Drury Lane shop will be holding a fashion show featuring recycled versions of current fashions. Fake fur, cropped shirts and sleek Seventies clothes (all de rigueur this autumn) will also be on show. Celebrities are promised including glam popster Sarah Cracknell of St Etienne and Miranda Richardson. Liz Hurley is doing a photoshoot that day (isn't she always these days) but has promised to make an appearance if she can.
