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.We may be battling a cold spell right now but in fashion terms spring has well and truly landed. Winter coats and heavy knitwear are making way for a easy breezy new season wardrobe with all the biggest trends rounded up here.
A distinctly feminine mood ruled over the collections for spring/summer 2016; from lingerie inspired looks at Celine to sheer pieces at Dior. That might all sound a little on the soft side but these looks were anything but. Whether it's the ruffled Balmain trousers or Loewe's tasseled sweater and skirt set, you won't fail to make an impact this season.
