8 Women on the People Who Inspire Them

Here’s a nice thing to do on Instagram: Post about a woman who has changed you anytime in the next three months, using the hashtag #UnordinaryWomen, and the clothing brand Lafayette 148 will donate $10 to the NYC-based nonprofit She’s the First, which provides education access and scholarships to girls around the world.

Lafayette 148 launched the campaign for International Women’s Day last Friday featuring eight New York City women in black-and-white portraits shot by the fashion photographer Sophie Elgort, sister of Ansel Elgort, who also shoots portraits like her dad, Arthur. The women include an American Ballet Theater ballerina, La Mercerie chef, and Whitney curator — and each shared a quote about a woman who has changed them.
