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.Sportmax, the more affordable baby in the MaxMara family, has carved up something rather splendid in soft suede : hipster trousers - a misnomer if there was one - which will instantly eliminate potential buyers with hips. And a cropped top will see away those with midriff podge. Those of you who are left will look simply gorgeous in this classy, clean-cut outfit. Unfair? Yes, but remember, fashion favours the very rich, the very thin or the very stupid. AB
Beige suede hipsters, pounds 313, and cropped top, pounds 153, both by Sportmax from MaxMara, 32 Sloane Street, London SW1 and 153 New Bond Street W1, in colour shown only, sizes 8-14. Enquiries: 0171 287 3434.
. . . BACK TO REALITY
When the plain but beautiful-without- glasses Miss Jones, in time-honoured tradition, whipped a pin out of her hair, she did it with one swift hand movement. Those of us who have tried to recreate this coquettishness, even if only in the privacy of our bedrooms, will know that to hold hair up successfully you need at least 400 very unattractive kirby grips. No longer - gather your hair up into a chignon, stick one of these in and you're away. AB
Hair pins by Johnny Loves Rosie, pounds 7.95 each at Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge, London SW1 and branches of Fenwick. Enquiries: 0171 435 0089.
