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.

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to photo shoots but a new editorial produced for System Magazine shows the star posing in a much grittier setting than her usual style.

Juergen Teller is the photographer behind the lens for this particular editorial, shot in France at the Chateau d'Ambleville earlier this year when the reality-tv-star was still sporting a bleach blond hairdo.

Rather than being clad in an array of designer outfits and her signature heavily made-up 'glam' - Kim is pictured with un-styled hair and relatively natural make-up.

The clothing was selected by husband Kanye West. Kim has spoken on numerous times of how her rapper/designer husband likes to have a hand in selecting her outfits.

In the series of images Kim sports a nude bodysuit (reminiscent of West's debut Adidas collection) with a satin bra-top layered over the top with black stockings and lace-up boots. The only jewellery visible is her diamond engagement ring.

The shoot also includes photos of West and as is typical of Teller's style - the photographer himself.

Teller hit headlines last year with a shoot which starred a completely unretouched Lara Stone, in the same raw, gritty style as this 'Kimye' shoot.

All the images from the shoot will be available as a special booklet on sale from tomorrow at 11am at Idea’s shop in Dover Street Market doverstreetmarket.com and online from 13th July on IDEA’s website idea-books.com and System Magazine system-magazine.com
