As we settle into Women's History Month, today, on March 8, the world also celebrates International Women's Day. It's a day to honor women around the world for their accomplishments, as well as the women who came before who pushed for gender equality and women's suffrage. This International Women's Day, L'OFFICIEL has compiled a list of various brands that are doing their part to honor not only the women behind these companies, but also those working to uplift and support different organizations that advocate for gender equality and support the empowerment and education of women.

Niki de Saint Phalle, a pivotal figure in postwar history, has close ties to La Prairie, being the godmother of their renowned Skin Caviar collection. This exhibition will display over 110 pieces of her experimental works of performance and feminist art through paintings, assemblages, and sculptures.
