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.

Thirteen years after working at Agent Provocateur, Paloma Faith is revealed as the new face of the luxury lingerie label's latest campaign.

The 34-year-old British singer used to be the sale's assistant at the Soho shop, where she wore a pink uniform at work and made “lifelong friends” who have also “achieved great things”, and so is the case of her former colleague and now renowned photographer Alice Hawkins, who shoot the AW15 campaign, #KnickersForever, featuring Faith in her skimps.

The Independent went to the London's boutique to meet Faith at the launch of the new lingerie collection, where she opened up about her life behind the scenes, her transition from store manager to globally recognised singer, as well as her favourite ranges of the collection, Nicole and Lisa - which is “feminist but strong, which I hope this is what I am”.
