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.

Naomi Campbell decided to show for Dolce e Gabbana's 10th-anniversary show yesterday, as did Woody Allen, in town with his girlfriend Soon-Yi, who will no doubt be returning to Manhattan with a revamped wardrobe. Allen is in Milan with his band, but appeared at Emporio Armani's show on Tuesday as well as having lunch with Gianni Versace who shows today.

Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana have been having a busy week. They showed their D&G "defusion" line on Saturday, followed by a party at a glitzy Milanese club on Sunday night. After their show yesterday, they hosted another party to launch their book 10 Years of Dolce e Gabbana.

For their autumn/winter collection, they revisited one of their favourite themes - underwear as outerwear. Salmon pink pantygirdles were worn over tights and under whale-bone contoured semi sheer skirts. Bras in the same soft pink were worn with dresses that were cut so low the bras were visible.

The pair shunned the black and chocolate brown tailoring popular in Milan, opting forchintzes, 1950s curtain prints and lots of zebra, leopard and tiger. However, much of the collection was reworkings of second-hand clothes.
