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: Happy Birthday Mr P

A first birthday is always a milestone occasion, and that of Mr Porter is no different. Instead of a cake with a comedy non-extinguishable candle, celebrate with a limited-edition pocket square.

We're not sure about: Bedding Brooks

There's no doubt that plenty of adolescent boys would be eager to get Kelly Brook between the sheets – there must be a reason that Argos has chosen her to design a range of linen after all – though that term is being used loosely, we're talking poly-cotton blends.

We're buying: Grey is the colour

Grey Line, the younger sister of Hussein Chalayan's signature collection, was recently launched at London Fashion Week, accompanied by a spanking new e-commerce site from which it can be purchased.

We can't wait for: Shades of summer

The Audit is aware of that proverbial swallow, but after a month of snow, rain and bone-chilling wind a bright spring day is enough to get the bunting out – or at least reach for a stylish pair of shades. A new collection by Alberta Ferretti for Cutler and Gross which debuted in Milan last week is just the ticket.

We're clicking on: Video nicey

One plus One, a short film from Giorgio Armani and the Oscar-nominated director of I Am Love, Luca Guadagnino, goes live today, showcasing the designer's latest collection around the historic architecture of the Lombardy region of Italy.
