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.THE young designer Tomas Iglesias has created a delicious summer capsule collection for Browns Own Label. This includes soft, meringue-like skirts in black or white muslin, navy seersucker tops and loosely tailored, long, linen/silk mix waistcoats. Prices start at pounds 25 for a short-sleeve check top.
It is Iglesias's first womenswear range. Since leaving Central St Martin's in 1993, he has built his reputation with menswear design, following in his family tradition - his father, grandfather and great grandfather were all tailors in Madrid, where his brother is now running the family business. Rita Britton, the innovative retailer behind the Barnsley store Pollyanna has already commissioned a Tomas Iglesias menswear collection and intends to back the designer's manufacturing.
Browns Own Label, set up last year by Caroline Collis, herself the daughter in a family firm, gives Iglesias his womenswear debut. The Own Label line aims to cater to a broader market than the main designer labels sold in the London fashion store established by her mother and father, Joan and Sidney Burstein.
