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.Female models with dwarfism took part in this year's Paris Fashion Week, as part of an initiative to break preconceived notions of beauty.
All the models measured under 4,3 ft and wore bespoke clothes designed by New York-based agency Creative Business House.
Jordanna, one of the models, had a message for anyone who saw the show.
"My message is that beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes, and also it's awareness that little people also need clothes," she said.
"When we try to go to the stores we can't find clothes that fit us the right way, or fit us like properly on our bodies."
The event was hosted by France's Ministry of Culture as part of the internationally renowned Paris Fashion Week, which runs from 29th September till 7th October.
