My Style: Ingrid Weiss & Daisy Durham
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.

Personal style: Jive bunnies
James Sherwood: You are living proof – in glorious Technicolor – that the family who plays together stays together. Kitty, Daisy & Lewis are a sibling R&B/swing/blues trio backed by mother Ingrid and father Graeme on double bass and acoustic guitar. Love it! It's rare for kids to share parents' passions...
Daisy Durham: We were never pushed. When we were kids there was a piano, an acoustic guitar and a couple of bongos in the sitting-room. Lewis, Kitty or I would start playing and everyone joined in. Our dad singing to us was how we first heard the three Louis (Jordan, Armstrong and Prima).
Ingrid Weiss: They started the band without us! Kitty, Daisy & Lewis was their project. It felt natural for us to be their session musicians.
JS: Daisy, I have to say you were born to wear scarlet satin. It's so subversive to dress like Monroe in Niagara when your peers all want to look like Paris Hilton.
DD: I love my clothes but I don't wear vintage solely. My mum has thousands of vintage-dress patterns. The red-dress pattern was for a flared skirt but Mum cut it to be more curvaceous. I like to be quite street as well and mix it up a bit.
JS: You obviously wear this dress to perform, and I bet you're mobbed, considering Kitty, Daisy & Lewis have played the Royal Albert Hall, the Barbican and Glastonbury. Ingrid, tell me about your look. I adore the 1940s plaited up-do. You're totally committed to the period.
IW: The dress is 1940s and I bought it at Blackout in Covent Garden. Most of my collection came from digging in charity shops but they've really dried up now that vintage is such an important part of fashion. Fortunately, we were ahead of the curve. n
