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.

The latest fashion book releases include the story behind Gianni Versace's murder, a declaration of love to Olivier Theyskens, and eye candy by today's leading photographers.

Missing Theyskens

Olivier Theyskens, the critically acclaimed designer who left French design house Nina Ricci in 2009, is portrayed by Vogue editor Sally Singer and photographer Julien Claessens in a new behind-the-scenes work entitled Olivier Theyskens: The Other Side of the Picture. Priced at $120, the coffee-table book is now available for preorder.

Moving on

After Luella Bartley ceased trading late last year, the UK designer is forced to fill her time with other projects for the time being. Enter 'Luella's Guide to English Style' (provisional title), a fashion bible Bartley is reportedly working on and planning to release just in time for London Fashion Week in September.

Murder mystery

The story of Gianni Versace's murder, entitled House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival (costing around €15), hits online retailers February 2 - but can already be preordered via amazon.com.
