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.

Australian fashion label Lulumae will open a temporary boutique made of recycled cardboard in Melbourne December 1.

The environmentally friendly pop-up store will join Australian favorites, beauty brand Napoleon Perdis and clothes labels Tigerlily and Peter Alexander, as well as international chains including Benetton and Esprit at the Melbourne Central mall.

Lulumae's istallation, created by the Australian Breathe Architects, can be fully assembled (and folded away) in one day and will be open for two months. Pictures on the cardboard pay tribute to the shops in Sydney Road Brunswick, home of the label's first store.

Pop-up stores have been a popular 'guerilla marketing' among small labels due to their low cost but recently, luxury labels including Chanel and Louis Vuitton (together with the more avant-garde Comme des Garçons) have made use of the strategy to widen their reach among customers.
