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.

From Kate Moss-inspired 'undone' hair to 'dirty' locks at Alexander Wang or 'slept-in' make-up at Rag & Bone -- prepare not to prepare too much come next fall.

From Kate Moss-inspired 'undone' hair to 'dirty' locks at Alexander Wang or 'slept-in' make-up at Rag & Bone - prepare not to prepare too much come next fall.

British supermodel Kate Moss's messy hair already was all the rage in the beginning of the 1990s and is back with a bang this season, with many designers citing the look as an influence for their 'don't care hair.'

Alexander Wang went even further than that, styling his models in unwashed-looking dos, in tune with the current grunge influences.

The trend went beyond hair, however, with labels such as Rag & Bone creating looks that seemed as if models had slept in their make-up, i.e. eyeliner. A make-up artist working of Kristen Stewart's Twilight look just told the media this month that Stewart would actually sleep in her eyeliner in order to achieve a natural, grungy, 'neglected' make-up.

Along with the 'goth' influence, dark lips are still going strong (as seen at Peter Som, for example).

However, there was still a number of designers going for a glossier appeal: Old Hollywood glamour was clearly the inspiration behind Cristian Siriano's hair, and a broad range of labels, including Georges Chakra, stuck to variations of the high bun.

Braided hair styles are also still popular on the runways, with a new addition being the fish braid (tutorials on YouTube).

In nails, most brands went for matte colors, but there's a definite trend towards long nails and nail art that was previously observed on the red carpet.
