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.The first hotel of Italian designer Giorgio Armani will open its doors at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai on the evening of April 27 with a show staged by fashion students.
Studying at the French fashion university Esmod, the 25 aspiring designers were monitored by Armani to dress their models in his creations for the event.
Tamara Hostal, founder and director of the Dubai outpost of Esmod, said: "This very memorable partnership supports our focus on creating development programs that expose our students to local and international opportunities."
The relationship between hotels and fashion has increasingly tightened with W Hotels being the first to appoint their own fashion director and New York's Fashion26 offering special shopping services. Also, teen star Miley Cyrus is currently hosting a design competition at virtual hotel and social networking site Habbo.com.
