FASHION / August
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.August is always a wicked month for fashion. And this summer the fashion for non-fashion means that the most au-courant are wearing clothes that, for once, ordinary people also wear (and don't think of as fashion). The message, so far as it goes, has been one of ethnic mix - the last vestiges of grunge played out in a meeting of the second-hand with the exotic and the chain-store. So devore velvet from Jasper Conran meets French Connection; Idonesian batik meets Monsoon; the best of the cheap separates labels mixed with something a little more exquisite. Flip- flops, those summer staples, are the fashionable footwear of choice. But things won't be relaxed for much longer. It's almost autumn, and change is in the air.
