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.

We Love: Clarks

The Fashion Audit isn't the only one that loves this traditional British make's Originals collection – Prince Harry and Rihanna have both supported the brand of late. The new Sportswear range for men is set to become as much of a classic as its forebears.

£90, Foot Patrol, 020 7287 8094

We're not sure about: Brosiery

Certain fashion types will pounce on anything that ushers a new portmanteau into the lexicon – surely that's the reason Emilio Cavallini's newly launched unisex hosiery, or "mantyhose", is proving surprisingly popular.

We're buying: It's in the bag

Known for his candid take on street style photography, Tommy Ton has branched out into accessory design, collaborating with Club Monaco for a limited edition range of unisex handbags. The durable designs are crafted from British Millerain waxed cotton twill.

£280, Harvey Nichols, 020 7235 5000

We can't wait for: Diana's dresses

Part of a £12m rejuvenation of Kensington Palace, later this month the Royal residence will reopen to the public with a display of some of the Princess' most memorable dresses, charting a fashion evolution which took place in the public eye.

From 26 March, hrp.org.uk

We're saving up for: Bjørg again

Norwegian designer Bjørg Nordli-Mathisen's romantically gothic pieces have been garnering plaudits for a little while now. New to boutique Kabiri, this delicate rose-gold plated cuff is worth forking out for.

£439, Bjørg, kabiri.co.uk
