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.Apart from spring's contrasting megatrends of military-inspired fashion and softly draped nude-colored clothes, cowboy-worthy Western looks are all the rage this season, and Polyvore users are taking note.
Whether it's the all-denim look or fringe boots, turquoise jewelry or moccasin shoes, the community is clearly drawing inspiration from the world of trappers, cowboys, and Native Americans. Further proof of this growing trend is the increasing popularity of brands associated with this spirit such as jeans label Wrangler, which saw a month-over-month rise in Facebook fans of 56 percent, according to the Stylophane Facebook Fashion Index.
Top brands are however all hailing from the Old Continent this week, with not a single non-European label being represented in the ranking.
