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 Seventies might be known for many things; Abba, Saturday Night Fever....but chief amongst those is its fashion, which this season has dominated the trends.
Bianca Jagger, Farrah Fawcett, Diana Ross, Blondie – it’s no coincidence that many of the most glamorous women of all time made their mark during the hedonistic days of the seventies.
Designers have raked through the decade time and time again and spring/summer 2015 has been a particularly fruitful season. Gucci, Chloe, Louis Vuitton, Pucci – all looked to the 1970s for inspiration this season.
In practical terms it’s actually a fairly easy trend to get on board – one item of retro-inspired garb will be enough to give a 70s-twist to a modern day outfit.
Suede is a key fabric this season and if you only buy one item make it a tan a-line skirts or push the look one-step further with a suede shift dress.
Print is a key element to incorporate in any self-respecting 70s look but stick to one piece only to avoid a fancy dress feel to your ensemble.
