Fashion Moment
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.This is a stills image taken from Karen Elson's first TV and cinema advertisement.
The chameleon-like model-of-the-moment who is Karl Lagerfeld's muse has not, however, earned pounds 500,000 for this sojourn in front of the camera. She has been paid nothing.
Why? It's all part of Oxfam's drive to capture the 16-to-24-year-old market by showing their clothes in a modern setting. In the advertisement, Elson and a bevy of male and female models do their thing as angels, in a Romeo and Juliet setting and on the catwalk - all set to the Oasis and Chemical Brothers' single, "Setting Sun", released on 1 November.
