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.& Other Stories has announced that it will be launching a collaboration with luxury British interiors and lifestyle brand House of Hackney.
In the past, the high street store has joined forces with the likes of Rodarte, Toms and Sonic Youth musician Kim Gordon, but this latest venture promises to be a print lover’s dream.
“House of Hackney transcends trends and plays in a quirky world of its own,” says Anna Nyren, head of co-labs at & Other Stories.
“We had a lot of fun co-creating a collection that invites women to play more and mix and match fearlessly without any restrictions.”
For those unfamiliar with the print mecca, House of Hackey was launched in 2011 by founders Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle after they spotted a gap in the market for traditional homeware with an eclectic twist.
And, while the brand has experimented with clothing before – it launched a collaboration with Opening Ceremony in 2012 – this latest collection looks set to be its most extravagant yet with everything from ready-to-wear, accessories and shoes that will “encourage a style filled with playfulness and extravagance”.
Photographed in the House of Hackney founders’ home, the first reveal of the collection offers a small glimpse into what we can expect with sketches and fabric swatches of zebra print, baroque florals and exotic palm leaves.
For now, the duo has revealed the Damas dress, priced at £69, which features a dramatic lilac floral print, but we will have to wait until the end of May before being able to shop the entire collection online and in selected stores.
