Best Backstage Moments From New York Fall 2017 Show

New York Fashion Week 2017 kicked off Thursday, featuring the latest hot looks as the city battled a snow storm outside.

Many models and fashion staffers used stylish boots, ear muffs, sweaters and fur coats to double their impact when they changed inside to stylish and the latest from the year's biggest designers.

The most memorable moments at Fashion Week are usually the ones that give us the chills — powerful statements on the runway that come with the perfect song or the general realization that designers are finally casting diverse shows. Given our current political climate, a lot of these standout instances involve industry leaders using the catwalk as a platform.
