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.IT WAS a freak show with a difference. Julien Macdonald upstaged himself at his own fashion show last night by inviting Whacko Jacko, or least his lookalike.
The faux pop star and his entourage arrived just as his show was about to begin, having apparently fooled security at the London Fashion Week event.
The "pop superstar" was seated in the front row next to eccentric fashion doyenne Isabella Blow complete with sequinned lobster clasped to her head.
Before the show began a white-coated lab technician walked through the Queens Gate tent outside the Natural History Museum where the show took place spraying scent in advance of the "star".
From that moment Macdonald could have sent models down the catwalk wearing a series of paper bags, not a single person would have noticed.
