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.Following Alexander McQueen's death last week, Polyvore users have used his designs as inspiration for their sets, making him the most popular designer this week.
Kim Kardashian is on top of the celebrity bunch for the third time in a row, marking a rare occasion of women and men agreeing on who is the hottest star of the moment: Kardashian was also named one of Playboy's sexiest celebrities of the year last week. The rest of the ranking isn't changing either with the exception of Blake Lively replacing fellow Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester.
In style trends, Polyvore users are predominantly drawing on graphic tees for inspiration and are rediscovering the retro peep-toe, while everything vintage is still going strong.
As for online shopping, Valentine's Day led to a higher popularity of jewelry sites such as Tarina Tarantino, Diana Vincent, or Tiffany. Cultstatus.com and designersimports.com are the new favorite multi-brand online stores.
