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.1 Karen Millen, jacket pounds 135 and skirt pounds 45 Perfect for those who want to wear a bold print without looking like they have just stepped out of a spaceship. Good for winter weddings and other seasonal do's. It's built to last: made from 100 per cent wool and fully lined. From Karen Millen, 17-19 Neal Street, London WC2 and Nile Street, Brighton. Enquiries on 01622 664 032.
4Red or Dead, pounds 235 PVC quilted black and white coat. This demands a Sixties look and angular pose - think Jean Shrimpton with gangly white legs, pale pink lips and false eyelashes. It is a brave person who chooses this as their winter coat, but it is waterproof. To order from Red or Dead, 33 Neal Street, London WC2 and branches (enquiries 0171-937 3137)
2Miss Selfridge, black and white shift dress pounds 26.99 Italian designers Dolce e Gabbana launched this Sixties Op Art-inspired shift dress on the catwalk, and the high-street shops have been quick to catch on. Soon the whole country will be awash with black and white zebra prints. Suits a range of shapes and sizes. In polyester/viscose, from branches of Miss Selfridge nationwide (enquiries 0181-910 110)
5 Versus by Gianni Versace, vinyl chessboard mini, pounds 190, and V-neck with circles from a selection at pounds 120 Part of Gianni Versace's cheaper Diffusion range. The simple shapes and bold prints are certainly eye-catching; feel like are a supermodel holidaying in St Tropez. From Gianni Versace, 92 Brompton Road, London SW3 (0171-581 8407) or Versace, The Italian Centre, 162 Ingram St, Glasgow G1 (0141 552 6510)
3 Warehouse, shirt pounds 34.99 For those who just want to hint at the Sixties look. This fabulously cut geometric shirt will pep up the dullest black suit, and will still be a worthy member of your wardrobe long after the fad has passed. Made from 100 per cent viscose, from branches of Warehouse nationwide (enquiries on 0181-910 1400).
6 Iceberg, top from a selection at pounds 150 and skirt pounds 115 The cute little flowers give the skirt a Mary Quant feel. It's not exactly the most practical of garments; perfect for chic little babes into clubbing, but not one for nine-to-fivers. Team with zipped white boots for the head to toe look and keep away from draughts. From Iceberg, 82 Brompton Road, London SW1 (0171-225 0515)
