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.

Style is emotional not seasonal so I dress according to my mood. I'm quite daring – there's nothing I won't wear. I have old favourites that I mix with the new. I got a great 1970s three-piece man's suit from Oxfam ( www.oxfam.org.uk) that I wear all the time with other vintage clothes from Rellik ( www.rellik.co.uk) or pieces from Future Classics ( www.futureclassicsfashion.com). Every year on my birthday my husband buys me a pair of Manolos from the Maria Luisa boutique in Paris (00 331 4703 9615).

As a shoe designer, people are always looking at your feet so I spend lots on nail polish from Nails Inc ( www.nailsinc.com) and pedicures at Janet Ginning's Mayfair salon (020 7499 1904).

Everyone can experiment with their style and shoes are a great place to start. It doesn't matter what age or size you are, you can put on a pair of bright red shoes and have a Dorothy moment.

Georgina's new shop opens on 12 April at 44 Old Bond St, London W1, www.georginagoodman.com
