LETTER:Dressed by Armani
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.From Mr Humphrey Burton
Sir: I would not want your readers to assume from my wife's letter (13 June) that my solitary Armani suit is in any way connected with my feelings for the BBC's Director-General, John Birt.
I personally may well be an "Eighties leftover" but my suit most certainly is not. I bought it as a direct result of attending a Royal Opera performance, earlier this season, of Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte, for which Signor Armani did the costume designs.
"I want what Thomas Allen wore as Don Alfonso," I told the assistant at my local Emporio Armani, and that, Sir, is what I got.
Yours faithfully,
HUMPHREY BURTON
