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.There are a mere 59 days till Christmas, which means it's nearly time to purchase a new Christmas jumper. Forget trawling round the high street, we've got this year's version covered and there's the added benefit of shopping for a good cause involved too.
Save The Children has launched new campaign Fashion Saves Lives which sees it bring together five top British designers (Christopher Kane, Charlotte Olympia, Giles Deacon, Henry Holland and Bella Freud) to create special edition festive jumpers all modelled by 5 top models - Kate Moss, Erin O'Connor, Karen Elson, Poppy Delevingne and Dree Hemingway.
Christopher Kane has created a classic monochrome polka dot design. Shoe designer Charlotte Olympia's is quirky green style featuring a leopard and shoe illustration. Bella Freud's black version comes with her signature slogans, this one a festive inspired 'Fairytale of New York.' Giles Deacon's longer length style comes in bright red with black bow embellishment. Finally Henry Holland has designed the most traditionally festive - a red and pink style with the words 'Jolly' emblazoned on the front.
The jumpers are available to purchase exclusively from matchesfashion.com from Wednesday 4th November, priced at £365 each. 100% of the profits raised from the sale of each jumper (£100 per jumper) will be donated to Save the Children to help the world’s most vulnerable children.
