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.

What if Santa could ditch his big red jackets with furry white cuffs for the latest designer collections?

Thanks to design studio Joint London, now he can. Father Christmas got a high end designer makeover and is seen wearing a number of different looks by leading fashion houses such as Alexander Wang, Saint Laurent and Kenzo, in a series of illustrations that drags him into the 21st century generation.

Just picture the iconic festive figure sporting Saint Laurent’s skinny jeans and leather biker jacket, or a colourful full Kenzo outfit combined with a zebra print cap, or even a sport luxe look by Wang. Surprisingly, Santa carries these designer looks very well – he even got the bushy ‘hipster beard’.

With these illustrations consider the Christmas card for your fashion pal, sorted.
