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.

On the last day of London Fashion Week Scott Henshall produced a collection inspired by "Miss Marvel" and the high- colour superheroes of a cartoon page – by way of a few streetwalkers, that is. Primary coloured cartoon prints covered short flirty skirts, a bumster halter-neck all in one, and little knickers worn with thigh-high hooker boots.

The voiceover on the soundtrack asked, "Do I look like a slut in this?" The answer could only have been yes!

Big Brother's Alex in a pair of cashmere underpants followed a black leather mini bustier dress and a pair of black leather trousers with zips that raced up the legs.

From then on it was cashmere underwear all the way, on a Page 3 girl and the fabulous nobodies of the London club scene, with just a few cashmere sweaters embellished with trompe l'oeil muscles and a beaded "?". My thoughts exactly.

Another label showing yesterday famous for its cashmere was Fake London, designed by Desiree Mejer. It was a disappointing show with a distinctive lack of the cashmere sweaters decorated with patriotic English emblems whose admirers include Kate Moss and Robbie Williams.

Instead Mejer sent out the her usual Union Flag appliquéd skirts and anoraks, trousers that were part-harem pant, part-army pant, and part chaps, all worn with denim Stetson hats straight from a hen night in Ibiza. Mejer needs to find a new direction for the brand.
