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 twin set, that stalwart of the Home Counties, is anything but conservative in the talented hands of the Sibling trio, who took inspiration from Holiday-era Madonna for spring/summer.
Vast bow headbands, rara frills on knitted dresses and a BodyMap-esque pattern were straight from the Eighties while a likeness of Her Madgesty appeared as an intarsia knit on a light blue sweater.
Hot pants, skirts and frill-fronted jackets in colourful needle-punched denim and neon-scrawled neoprene biker jackets provided the witty knitters' signature subversion. Bold, blocky shoulders were balanced against sheer ruffles while itsy-bitsy bralets paired with flouncy skirts were bolstered by crocheted crinolines.
Sex tape Xs marked the spot on one model's nipples, while many tops were teamed simply with knickers - some ruffled some gymkit simple. To borrow from another Eighties idol for a moment, this was a collection for girls who just wanna have fun.
