Kate's bag: Stratford gets the look
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.Harvey Nichols and Mulberry are in talks to open shops in the walkway to the Olympic stadium, in east London.
The talks are part of a plan by Westfield, the Stratford shopping centre's owner, to make the part of the complex that leads up to the stadium upmarket.
The giant shopping mall, which measures 1.9 million square feet and opens next month, has the who's who of the high street but the move to upmarket brands is a new strategy.
Harvey Nichols is in early-stage talks to take a 9,000 sq ft beauty shop to house its Beauty Bazaar concept. The designer brands Mulberry – a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge – and Armani are also in discussions to secure stores, while Hugo Boss has signed and will join Olympic sponsor Omega.
The Stratford centre is now more than 95 per cent let and Victoria's Secret, the US lingerie chain, has also signed up.
