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.The world's number one tennis player, Rafael Nadal, is starring in Armani's latest traffic-stopping underwear ads.
Nadal is the third athlete to front the campaign, following in the footsteps of fellow soccer stars David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, it is the first time that the Italian fashion house has opted for a sportsman who is equally lusted after by women and accepted by men - maybe hinting at a more manly, less "over-groomed" image being pursued by the brand. And Nadal is continuing to up his luxury appeal, having already starred in French label Lanvin's perfume ads in 2009.
The tennis player's female counterpart for the brand's underwear campaign is actress Megan Fox, who is featuring in the campaign for the third time in a row and who is also the face of Armani's beauty line. All ads were shot by fashion's star photographer duo, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and will be published next month.
