The Fashion Audit: Yves Saint Laurent’s Special Touche and Christopher Kane
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.

Laurence Dacade may not be a name you’re familiar with but you’ve probably come across her designs – she holds the esteemed position of shoe designer at Chanel. This season, she’s lending her talents to Zadig & Voltaire for a collection of footwear.
From £550, zadig-et-voltaire.com
We’re not sure about… Funky fragrances
While celeb fragrances are not exactly a new addition to the perfume market, they do seem to appear more frequently, in all their garish glory, at Christmas. Take, for example, this slightly scary new edition of Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday scent.
£48.50, theperfumeshop.com
We’re buying… Special Touche
Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat, for those not in the know, is a cosmetics classic thanks to its legendary highlighting abilities. For Christmas, the brand has created a limited-edition collector’s version that will make receiving it even more of a joy.
£25, YSL Beauté, available nationwide
We can’t wait for… Christopher’s capsule
Christopher Kane is the golden boy of British fashion so news of an exclusive capsule collection about to drop at Net-a-Porter is music to our ears here at The Audit. The resort range is comprised of nine pieces in primary colours all made from lace.
Prices start at £250, available from 9 December at net-a-porter.com
We’re saving up for… Box of tricks
You’ll need to have been very good this Christmas to get a Harrods box under your tree. The pricey pressie contains a bevy of beautiful gifts, including a Valentino bag and Shaun Leane jewellery. £5,325, Harrods, 020 7730 1234
