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.

WE MAY surround ourselves with stylish coffee-table books and fashion glossies, but rarely, if ever, do we get a chance to buy those iconic images and hang them proudly on our walls? Fancy a David Bailey? How about a Mario Testino? Or a Steven Meisel anyone?

"Fashion Exposures", a sale and exhibition of contemporary photography, with framed and signed images donated by a stellar spectrum of star snappers, is the place to find such treasures.

The exhibition, now in its 11th year, works in conjunction with the charity Fashion Acts, the British fashion industry's initiative that aims to raise both funds and awareness for people affected by HIV and Aids.

This year, as well as helping the public to get their hands on the work of top photographers, the organisers also sent a bunch of celebrities an Olympus I-Zoom camera each, with which to record their own memorable moments.

Here's your chance to see what Noel Gallagher, Mick Jagger, Ruby Wax and Jude Law came up with, not to mention Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood. Prints range from pounds 50-pounds 1,000 and all proceeds go to Fashion Acts. Now, where to hang that Paolo Roversi...
