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...

Shirt chic

London tailoring label E Tautz has just launched a ladies' shirt collection designed by Katie Hillier. She's combined her love of men's shirt styles and the traditional Tautz cloth to conjure up a suitably dapper look for women. From £180, matchesfashion.com

We're not sure about...

Ankle watches

Known as “swankles”, we have TOWIE Star Joey Essex to thank for this. In the last series we saw Joey debut his latest fashion accessory, but bizarrely the trend has caught on. We've been blinded by the number of people who have been seen wearing ankle watches. We simply ask, why?

We're buying...

Bushy brows

Model Cara Delevingne's statement eyebrows have sent the nation into a power-brow frenzy. Sales of eyebrow make-up at John Lewis are up by a third, so it looks like the “Scouse brow” is back with a vengeance. Bare Mineral's Brow Colour and Benefit's High Brow pencil are perfect to re-create her signature look.

We can't wait for...

Mad for mods

Banana Republic has announced the return of its Mad Men collection with a mod-inspired capsule for spring. Designed in partnership with the award-winning costume designer on the show, Janie Bryant, expect bold prints and bright colours in keeping with the Sixties trend of the season. 5 March, bananarepublic.co.uk

We're booking...

The Thin White Duke

The whole world's gone batty for Bowie, not least thanks to the casting of fashion-pack favourite Tilda Swinton in his latest music video. Later this month, The V&A has been given unprecedented access to the singer's extensive archive for a highly anticipated exhibition on Mr Stardust. From 23 March, vam.ac.uk
