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.The autumn/winter 2015 haute couture presentations kicked off in Paris on Sunday and as any self-respecting fashion show isn't complete these days without a starry front row, we've rounded up the who, where and what of this week's celeb guests.
Versace kicked things off on Sunday with a spectacular display of evening gowns. In the audience veteran model Naomi Campbell sat with Irina Shayk but it was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley dressed in a daring look from the collection that stole the show.
Yesterday saw the second day of shows begin with Schiaparelli where actress Meg Ryan who is not a regular sight on front rows, made her fashion week debut.
Dior was the highlight of the second day and as ever had an impressive celebrity guestlist which included actresses Emily Blunt, Lupita Nyong'o, Riley Keogh and Leelee Sobieski.
Jessica Alba also made an appearance yesterday at the Giambattista Valli couture presentation.
Day 3 of couture week was dominated by Chanel, who opened the day in typically ostentatious manner - not content with a celeb-packed front row, Karl Lagerfeld recruited an array of famous friends to participate in the show with the likes of Kristen Stewart, Julianne Moore, Rita Ora and Lily Collins all enjoying a game of roulette in the middle of the catwalk.
A quick flight to Rome saw the couture presentations continue with Valentino hosting a one-night-only extravaganza in the Italian city. Gwyneth Paltrow and Tilda Swinton made up the show's very well-dressed front row in dramatic red and white gowns respectively.
