In honor of International Women's Day and "A Day Without a Woman," dozens of the most recognizable faces in fashion came together to deliver a powerful message about the importance of women's roles in the world.

Filmed during Paris Fashion Week, the powerful video for W Magazine features models, musicians, editors and designers like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, Donna Karan, Sienna Miller and Winnie Harlow, along with 56 other icons in the industry.

Against a plain white backdrop, the talented and passionate members fashion community stood and repeated these four simple, yet profoundly impactful messages in different languages, voices and styles:

  • "I am a woman"

  • "Please respect yourself, respect women."

  • "Women’s rights, are human rights."

  • "Men and women have to fight together."

Executive producer of the video, Caroline de Maigret, who was also part of W Magazine's recent "I Am an Immigrant" initiative, explained that though the day focuses on the importance of women in the world, she was eager for men to participate as well.

"Each and every one of us came from a woman, so we are all involved in that game," she said.
