Backstage

The major sites covering runway shows, like style.com and firstview.com, almost never feature photographs of the models' backs - even if the designers took time to add rear detail. Sometimes the only way to catch some of the back buttoned details is via the backstage photos, like this one from the Yves St. Laurent Fall 2006 collection.


And here are a couple from the Spring 2006 collection by Proenza Schouler.

Dior

In his Fall 1999 ready-to-wear collection for Christian Dior, John Galliano explored the back-buttoned theme on multiple pieces, particularly knit skirts.

Jeffrey Sebelia

Jeffrey Seblia, who won Season 3 of Project Runway, runs his own line called Cosa Nostra. Here is a top from the Fall/Winter 2006 collection:
