Fashion: Dark nights in satin
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.As the nights draw in, now is the time to think about evening wear. There are lots of slender satin slip-dresses around this autum, made for languishing in darkly-lit, smoke-filled rooms; a hint of Thirties Paris in their self-indulgent decadence. This is the other side of evening wear - glitz, gloss and sparkle replaced by rust and pewter satin, chinese embroidery, garnets and black lace. Dark-rimmed smoky eyes are back; if you don't have dark rings around your eyes already (easily acquired by several fashionably debauched nights), fake it with layers of dark-grey eye shadow against a chalky-white complexion. Very pale and very interesting. One more Gauloise and your voice will break into a low, hoarse whisper. The secret is a little mystery - clothes that look as though they are from another time, another place.
