The new Lace
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.When Iris Palmer walked into our offices, only one week into her modelling career, bubbling with exuberance and innocence, we knew she would become an 'it' girl. Naturally, we booked her straight away. Since then, Nick Knight has shot Iris for 'Vogue', she has appeared on the international catwalks, and Mario Testino has signed her up for a Trussardi advertising campaign. Here she wears a newly reinvented fabric - lace. This is no hanging for a sash window, no shy little wisp worn out of sight as underwear, Now lace is as eclectic, sexy and modern as Iris herself.
