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.The much-anticipated fashion show is due to be taped November 19 (and aired in the US on CBS December 1), and it has been confirmed by established blog Modelinia that Chinese top model Liu Wen will be the first-ever Asian to appear in the lingerie label's annual show.
Wen will join the five new 'Angels' announced earlier this month including high-fashion model Chanel Iman as well as the label's stars Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, and Alessandra Ambrosio.
Neither Karolina Kurkova, nor Adriana Lima or Heidi Klum will strut their stuff however, due to a 'maternity boom' among Victoria's Secret's top models.
To make up for it, Klum will host the show, and it is rumored that the label, which is known for its spectacular shows, will stage an extravaganza reminiscent of George Michael's iconic Freedom music video.
Klum has previously hosted TV programs such as Project Runway and Germany's Next Top Model.
Victoria's Secret's show, taking place in New York on November 19, will be aired on December 1 at 10/9C on CBS.
