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.Katharine Hamnett, the most famous of statement T-shirt sloganeers - Choose Life, Stay Alive in '85 (anti-heroin), Education not Missiles, Clean Air, 58% don't want Pershing, and Sanction China - is at it again. She has turned her hand to a range of three T-shirts for Amnesty International. It is the first time AI have enlisted the help of a celebrity designer and Hamnett was the logical choice.
The Amnesty team braved drizzle and mud at the Phoenix Festival near Stratford-upon-Avon last week where they staged a series of events to support their global campaign "Respect Refugees!". Among them was a shoot by photographer Pat Pope of all the artists involved in Phoenix, including Black Grape, Skunk Anansie, Jamiroquai, and David Bowie wearing the T- shirts, and the photographs will be on show later this year at a central London gallery.
"Saving Skins" is the new slogan dreamt up by Hamnett, and Skin from Skunk Anansie has proudly been modelling her T-shirt for weeks. Other designs include a blue hologram heart, and a straight-forward AI reflective logo T-shirt. Each comes in three colours - white, pale blue and navy and in two sizes - 34 and 36n
