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.

See what's happening in online fashion this week.

Mr Porter, Net-à-Porter's new shopping site for men, is now live, offering established menswear brands such as Paul Smith and Alfred Dunhill, but also a broad range of more 'niche' labels including Lock & Co Hatters or Band of Outsiders. But there's more to the new destination than clothes: regularly updated editorial content brings you inspiration from style icons (Mick Jagger, Basquiat, Johnny Depp), advice from the likes of Pharrell Williams, an online wardrobe manager, and features on all non-fashion items the stylish man should own. This one will have the Mrs turning green with envy.

CK One is launching an all-media campaign this week that - according to Women's Wear Daily - is the "largest digital initiative in the history of the brand." Shot by Steven Meisel, who also created the original Kate Moss ads for CK One in the 1990s, the cast includes Abbey Lee Kershaw, Alice Dellal, Pixie Geldof, Fei Fei Sun, Ruby Aldridge, Sky Ferreira and Calvin Klein face Lara Stone dancing and posing half-naked in a white box studio.

Following US retailer Nordstrom's acquisition of Haute Look, rival flash sale site Gilt has said it is considering a public offering from 2012. Sample sales - of designer clothes at reduced prices - are usually 'members-only' on these sites, meaning that shoppers need to be invited by the community to be able to benefit from the offers.
