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.Fashion: Get into costume
precious it ain't, but that doesn't make us any less dazzled by the costume jewellery of Mawi, the Indian-born designer whose decadent, vintage-inspired baubles have ornamented the outfits of everyone from Rihanna to Sam Cam. So hurrah for this week's launch of the first Mawi flagship store in London's East End, where you can feast your eyes on the new spring/summer collections, from the edibly minded Candy Luxe to the Indian-temple-inspired Devotion, as well as classic and one-off baubles. 11 Calvert Street, London EC2, from Friday; mawi.co.uk
