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.

French designer Agnès Troublé, founder of the Agnès B. fashion label, has always been a big supporter of the arts. This week, there is new proof with the opening of her SoHo store and gallery.

Located in the same district as her first US store, inaugurated in 1980, the new store at 50 Howard Street, New York combines men's and women's clothing with rotating exhibitions by up-and-coming artists as well as those that have already been featured at her Paris gallery, Galerie du Jour.

It feels like the entrepreneur's vision has come full circle after she started 'importing' exciting New York artists and presenting them in Paris.

Agnès has also asked friends such as the artists Ryan McGinness, Rostarr, Dan Colen, and Ryan
McGinley to contribute new designs for her Artist T-shirt line, many of which will be exclusively be available at the new store.
