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.Now more than ever, the high street has its finger on the pulse. No longer only interested in supplying wardrobe staples and designer 'homages', brands are increasingly developing their own signatures and adding unique twists to catwalk trends.
With rising numbers of designer collaborations, support for new design talent and involvement in London Fashion Week, the UK's high street offers the most comprehensive collection of affordable fashion in the world.
And now the sun is finally starting to shine, we can emerge from our SAD-induced slump and actually start to plan what we'll be wearing for the next few months. Good news for anyone who's sick of last season's fierce, studded, biker look; there's a more gentle mood to spring/summer. From fresh florals to faded denim and natural coloured leather and suede, this season is altogether more relaxed. Here's the lowdown on the key spring pieces from our favourite high street brands.
