The pick of the glossies
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.Dressing for work can be a nightmare at the best of times. But when you are the editor of Vogue, Elle or Marie Claire, getting dressed in the morning can be a positive minefield. What you wear in the privacy of your office is one thing, but as soon as you step foot outside, for a lunch, a meeting or a dinner, an editor is expected to personify her magazine.
Juliet Warkentin joined Marie Claire for her first day as editor of the magazine at the beginning of this month, and the July issue of Elle is the second with Marie O'Riordan at the helm. We asked the editors of the three major glossies to give us their top 10 buys for the summer - an insight into their wardrobes and consequently into the fashion pages of their magazines.
