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.London's punk knitters, Sibling - or rather the trio behind the name: Sid Bryan, Joe Bates and Cozette McCreery - looked to New York for inspiration for their autumn/winter collection.
More specifically to the anarchic sound of proto-punks Richard Hell and Wayne/Jayne County. "It was the idea of being a suburban teenager appreciating the cool of New York punk but living in a nowhere land in Britain," they said.
This influence manifested in a swallow tattoo motif - one Hell had designed for Paula Yates - and a show title name-checking punk volume "Please Kill Me" which appeared as intricate floral needlework on a slogan sweater as well as the backdrop to the catwalk.
The clothes were fluffy and fun: muppet-like blue mohair shorts and hoodies, super-sized knitted scarves, mittens and double-stacked beanies in black, pink and blue.
Something of a signature, subverted Fair Isle was cut-and-shut with leopard print in a dirty pastel palette. Leopard print was washed in crimson too as jumpsuits, snoods and separates.
