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.

The Burberry show is now done and dusted, with Joanna Lumley, Barry Keoghan and Olivia Colman all in attendance, marking the end of London Fashion Week 2024.

Spanning five days of shows, parties, presentations and appointments, with more than 100 brands on the schedule, there was a whole host of highlights – Richard Quinn’s beautiful beading, Joanna Lumley’s comedic Completedworks performance and Sinead Gorey’s iPod hair clips, all included.

Taking note of the key trends to cop, street style looks to steal and how red tights ruled across the front row, I’ve rounded up everything you need to know about the fashion-focused event.

But on top of spying standout shoes, bags, dresses and coats, one item stuck out as an unexpected accessory: a warped silver phone case that costs less than £10 at Amazon.

Yes, you read that right. On top of all the designer bags and luxury label shoes, it’s this Amazon-stocked phone case that stuck out the most – I spotted it in the hands of fashion editors, PRs and even Dua Lipa’s newsletter editor. Keep scrolling to find out more and why it’s the new accessory I’m buying.

As someone with a clear, basic, boring phone case, I’ve never really thought of my phone as an accessory, and never considered its case as anything more than practical. In fact, despite the now large number of colourful, pretty patterned phone case options, the only one that’s ever caught my eye is Rhode’s new lip gloss holding case (trust me when I say I was one of the first to sign up to the waitlist).

But after spying this warped silver style, I’m sold. It’s chic, fun and (hopefully) actually a practical buy. Plus, it’s compatible with a whole host of options, including everything from an iPhone 11 to the new iPhone 15 pro.
