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.Giorgio Armani presented his new autumn-winter collection yesterday to an A-list crowd for Paris Haute Couture fashion week. His Privé collection was based on the amber gemstone, using its every shade, from sandalwood to gold. There were lustrous evening gowns and tweed skirt-suits.
Blazers glistened with gold and silver threads, featuring extended shoulders and fastened wood-and-tassel "talisman" buttons, over fit-and-flare skirts to the knee. Cashmere coats were fastened at the throat with small leather straps. Cocktail dresses were clasped at the neck so as to appear like sarongs, in silk jersey, often piped in leather, or accessorised with crocodile.
Front-row celebrity spectators included the Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, the Italian actress Claudia Cardinale, as well as Claire Danes, Isabelle Huppert, Olivia Palermo, Roxane Mesquida, and the style icon and millionairess, Daphne Guinness.
