We debuted our backs galleries a year ago as a great way to view every look both coming and going. This season did not disappoint in its selection of outfits that captured your attention from all sides. In Alexander Wang’s logo-heavy collection, what appeared to be a demure dress featuring the designer’s name was turned around to reveal a racy and completely bare back. Over at DKNY, a pinstripe blazer casually slung over a model’s shoulders featured the number 25 on the back — a nod to the 25th anniversary of the brand. 3.1 Phillip Lim demonstrated how sexy a sweatshirt can be, inserting swaths of sheer organza to add lightness while also showing a hefty dose of skin. For those who are looking to accentuate a carefully toned backside, both Prabal Gurung and Jason Wu offered up masterful tailoring on dresses that had Robin Givhan exclaiming, “That tush!” To get a better view of those and more, click ahead to see all 33 of the best exits of spring 2014.
