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.After dubious sites had been calling on internet users to name the first Kate Moss bag, there is now offical explanation of the craze: Women's Wear Daily reports that the British supermodel will release her own line of handbags for Longchamp February 11.
Rather than a one-off celebrity-endorsed line, a phenomenon that has become common and maybe too common recently, the French luxe brand is aiming for a more long-term partnership with two collections per year.
Moss, who posed in the label's ads for years, reportedly worked with Longchamp's creative director Sophie Delafontaine to create the bags. Russian model Sasha Pivovarova has taken over as the brand's spokesmodel.
It is not the first time that Kate Moss ventures into design: the business woman has proven a profitable asset to Topshop in the past. And she's not a completely new face at Longchamp either: back in 2007, she "helped add the final design touches" to the patent-leather Legend bag.
