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.

As they sweep down the catwalk in exquisite garments and sky-high heels, every model’s worst nightmare is toppling over and landing in a tangled heap of long, lithe limbs.

But at China Fashion Week, it happened to not one, not two, but three beautiful clothes horses.

Perched precariously upon teetering platform shoes, the unlucky trio lost their footing during the SECCRY Hu Sheguang fashion show on Sunday.

In perhaps the most accident-prone display ever seen, Chinese-Dutch designer Hu Sheguang’s models put on a rather different kind of performance at the Mercedes-Benz sponsored event.

It might make the girls involved feel better to know they're not the only beauties to stumble while strutting their stuff.

Models Agyness Deyn, Karlie Kloss and Jessica Stam have all come a cropper while flaunting the latest fashions.

And who could forget supermodel Naomi Campbell’s epic fall on the Vivienne Westwood catwalk in Paris in 1995, in which she tripped over and bared her bottom.

It happens to the best of us – pick yourself up, dust yourself off and strut.
