Our Favorite Backstage Moments From NYFW

Take a look behind the scenes of fashion’s busiest week

by Jenna Igneri

After seven days of runway shows, presentations, and parties, New York Fashion Week has now come to a close. While the rest of the world is looking on to the collections of London, Milan, and Paris, we thought it was only right to celebrate the close of the New York shows with an intimate look behind the scenes.

We sent photographer Franey Miller backstage to of some of the week's most major shows and presentations to capture the excitement from the models' point of view, something many—even front row attendees—don't often get to see.

From the hair and makeup chair to what it's like moments before the models step out onto the runway, get a peek behind the curtain of this week's shows, below.

In addition to the clothes, extensions were also tie-dyed at Collina Strada.
