The Fashion Audit: Vault couture, Getting to grips, Specs appeal and Kat Maconie
What we love, we're not sure about, we're buying and can't wait for...
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: Vault Couture
Nineties screen classic Clueless is a continual inspiration – especially for Cher's automated wardrobe. Now wardrobes can be catalogued, photographed and stored at home – or shipped worldwide.
From £2,000, vaultcouture.com
We're not sure about: Getting to grips
If you're a slave to a three-inch heel, even when there's snow and ice on the ground, these grips will ensure you don't end up A over T. Practical though they may be in theory, The Audit can't help but wonder if that's ever the point of a pair of stilettos.
We're buying: Specs appeal
If Clark Kent had a pair of Kirk Originals, he wouldn't have removed them in that phone box. Its new range of acrylic-based frames is not only more hard-wearing and softer on the skin, but also offer a spectrum of sharply defined rainbow brights from which to choose.
£390, kirkoriginals.com
We can't wait for: Kat Maconie for Dune
Ms Maconie's signature style is much-loved by the fashion pack, so imagine the delight that met news of a collaboration with the high-end high-street store Dune. Inspired by Miami Art Deco style the collection will be available from April.
