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.A gang of fashion designers have created the world’s most fashionable My Little Ponies –and potentially the most expensive ones too.
Emilio Pucci, Rick Owen, Roberto Cavalli, Kenzo, Balmain, Versace and Fendi have all created their very own version of the iconic toy, channelling, of course, the trademarks of their brands – and all for a good cause.
The luxe, fashion-forward version of the ponies are being auctioned at the online Italian store LuisaViaRoma, who are raising funds for Save the Children and Nepal Earthquake, in conjunction with their own charity Make Kids Happy.
Fans are already splashing the cash, bidding on eBay for the one-off creations, with prices going up to €950 (approx. £682).
The designer ponies sport colourful prints, shimmering sequins, leather and animals prints.
Emilio Pucci has accessorised the Pony with a scarf in one of the label’s trademark prints, Cavalli combined a zebra-inspired print with a bright purple tail, Oliver Rousteing styled the hallmarks of Balmain: leather and mesh, and Donatella covered the Versace pony in the print from the autumn/winter 2015 collection. Rick Owen opted to paint his all in black, and Kenzo’s toy sports a poppy red hoodie with the trademark tiger graphic on it.
