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.Milan-based design brand Jil Sander has worked with Italian jeweler Damiani to create a simple yet luxurious line of rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Watches will follow next year.
Current head designer at Jil Sander, Raf Simons, who also collaborated with Damiani on a limited edition of earrings for this year's spring/summer collection, explained his decision of designing jewelry that many think might clash with the label's puristic esthetic.
"After the great response on our first collection of earrings for this summer I am convinced that Jil Sander, even being considered as the brand of pureness, can create a product category such as jewelry which is not typically seen as Jil Sander," he said in a statement.
The pieces are expected to hit international Jil Sander and Rocca (owned by Damiani) boutiques as well as selected department and jewelry stores this month, with prices starting at €890. A collection of watches is scheduled for early 2010.
While her former label is increasingly heading towards luxury, German designer Jil Sander herself (who sold and left the company several years ago) has been taking a different approach creating an affordable collection for Japanese high street retailer Uniqlo.
