As we finally say good-bye to all things fashion month, we’ve taken the time to reflect on the beauty of the back. Some of the best looks on the runway this season were even better when seen from behind. We’ve sifted through thousands of runway looks to come up with our favorite rear views — 50 to be exact — from Alexander McQueen’s moon-and-stars dress made of broderie anglaise and chiffon to Donna Karan’s barely there backless dresses to the stripe of fraying silk running down the back of one coat at Céline. Click through our slideshow to see the 50 best backs of fashion month.
