December 9 agenda: Red Dot Design Awards
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.Wednesday agenda: major design awards are announced in Essen (Germany), and fashion prizes are handed out in London, a big internet gathering in Paris, among other events.

British Fashion Awards
December 9
London/UK
The UK's leading fashion prize acknowledges outstanding achievements of designers, upcoming talents and other fashion professionals such as models. Last year's winners include Stephen Jones, Jourdan Dunn and Luella Bartley, whose 2009 will probably finish on a less pleasant note due to her investors pulling out.
