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.In Milan last spring, Tom Ford at Gucci produced a stunning take on the slinky Seventies and Studio 54. His white jersey column dresses had cut-outs which framed and defined erogenous zones: curving cleavage, neat navel, or the sinuous line from underarm to waist. Now those dresses are in Gucci boutiques across the world and being snapped up by ladies with large bank balances - who're also showing off in Clements Ribeiro. Happily for the rest of us, Warehouse, the affordable high street chain, has alternative means of self-exposure. Melanie Rickey
