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.

Alexander McQueen: Genius of a Generation, the first book on the deceased designer to hit stores after his death, written by fashion journalist Kristin Knox, will be released in June.

On 128 pages and illustrated with more than 120 pictures, Knox traces the private and professional life of the deceased designer, from his childhood in East London to his unfinished Fall/Winter 2010 collection.

Published by A & C Black Publishers, the book - priced at around $20 - is set for its UK release on May 7, with international markets following in June. Pre-oders can already be made via amazon.com.

And another fashion icon has recently been the subject of a new book: French designer Pierre Cardin's career is illustrated in Assouline's new release, Pierre Cardin: 60 Years of Innovation, coinciding with the house's 60th anniversary this year. Written by Cardin's director of communications, Jean Pascal Hesse, the glossy hardcover can be bought for $75 on assouline.com.
