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.

Thinking about a career in fashion? Not sure what it is that defines 'classy?' Wondering how to get your hands on a numbered Tim Walker print? The answers are all here.

How to be classy

If writer Derek Blasberg's stints at style.com or V Mag aren't enough for you to consider him a style authority, consider this: the man has swarms of modeling 'best friends' that he has been observing on a daily basis. Now he wants to tell you how to be a lady, not a tramp: Classy ($11.46) is due out April 6.

Walker's world

Two new limited editions of the successful Pictures by Tim Walker book by teNeues are now available: one, priced at $1,300 comes with a signed print and heirloom linen slipcase, and the other (at $3,000) is packaged in an oversized linen box, containing an individually signed, numbered and stamped print of one of Walker's most iconic photographs: Lily Cole and Spiral Staircase from 2005. The original coffee table book can still be ordered for $125.

Kell on Earth

If you are thinking about working in the fashion industry, read this book first. If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You ($23) by one of New York's most successful fashion PRs (and reality stars), Kelly Cutrone - who has summed up the fashion industry as "war" - is an honest and entertaining account of what it's like. If you still feel like joining in after this, you're probably right for the job.
