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.

Whether you’ve just bought tickets to a comedy show or running late to a film screening at the cinema, choosing to sit on the front row is widely viewed as a last resort.

That is, unless you’re attending fashion month.

The catwalk front row, or FROW as it’s commonly known in the fashion industry, is a sacred ground reserved for elite members including stylists, celebrities, editors, and muses. Not only is the FROW a who’s who map of the business’ hierarchy of importance, but your sartorial influence on the world.

Recently, it’s where the Beckham family shimmied alongside US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for Victoria Beckham’s autumn/winter 2019 runway collection, Joan Collins stunned onlookers at Erdem, and Lara Stone and Jourdan Dunn showed off their towering physiques at Christopher Kane during London Fashion Week.

From Gucci to Fendi, click in the gallery above to see who graced the Milan Fashion Week FROW.
