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: Pringle patchwork

Abstract blocks of contrasting colours and fabrics are woven together in this new capsule collection of designs by the Turner Prize-nominated artist Liam Gillick.

We're not sure about: Back in the corset

After Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery raved about the posture improving aspects of being trussed up in a boned bodice all day while in character, they're – apparently – suddenly pitched for a relaunch.

We're buying: Pyjama party

Sleepover separates may be a big fashion story this season, but actual nightwear shouldn't be neglected either. The purveyor of the best mannish silk shirts in the business, Equipment has now branched out into the bedroom with this luxurious set.

We can't wait for: Back to black

Those who are involved in the fashion business may have an exaggerated fondness for the darkest of hues, but when it comes to the thoroughly chic new matte black range of purses, cardholders and wallets from Comme des Garçons, it's not hard to see why.

We're not being dictated to: Leap of faith

Leap years are the "only" time a woman could dare to do something so bold as propose without appearing as a bridezilla. If you couldn't have done it on any of the previous 365 and a quarter days, it's really not worth the time of any of these.
