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.

We love: Burger battle

To say we’re a fan of a burger here at The Audit is a colossal calorific understatement.

So imagine our glee at the London opening of two legendary hamburger havens, Five Guys Burger and Fries and Shake Shack. Not fashion, strictly, but they’ll keep up your stamina in the sales.

We’re not sure about: Cut-out cossies

You may want to rethink your getaway wardrobe after a recent poll by sunshine.co.uk revealed, unsurprisingly, that the holiday fashion trend voted the worst is the cut-out swimsuit. The swimwear hybrid was closely followed by the age-old faux pas of wearing socks with sandals.

We’re buying: Damir Doma

If you haven’t already been swept away in the sale season by all manner of bargain buys, you may want to get your credit card at the ready for another set of stylish steals. The LN-CC has delved into its archive for a very special Damir Doma sale with pieces available from previous collections.

We can’t wait for: New kicks

An event for those who know their Nikes from their New Balance; Harvey Nichols is hosting a one-day pop-up shop with Fresh Laces. Expect to find an array of sneaker specialists alongside exclusive one-off designs and even the original pair of Air Jordan X1’s worn by Michael Jordan in Space Jam.

20 July, 12-8pm, Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge, London SW1

We’re saving up for: Artistic accessories

If you’re looking for a new season handbag with a little more going on, head to Marni. This season Consuelo Castiglioni has brought on board Argentinian illustrator Romina Quirós and incorporated her iconic black ball figure motifs into a range of T-shirts and accessories.
