We showed some of our favorite items from Dior’s Couture runway for Spring 2013, and here’s a closeup on the hair & make up. Pixie cuts & jeweled lips–tres gamine! But I’m wondering as I look at this pics, to all our readers who are hair experts—are the models in wigs?? If yes, how on earth did they achieve such a natural look?

See another Dior backstage image, the girls can’t help but Vogue in these frocks!

Dior Couture Spring 2013 runway, shown today during Paris Fashion Week, was fluid, fresh and yet still appropriately beholden to the archives; add in the popularity of newly installed designer Raf Simons plus a community anxious to see the storied Dior house return to respectability and it’s no suprise the critics are cooing, (not too mention stylists to the stars drooling). Which, good for Dior’s handbag and perfume sales going forward. They will probably improve compared to last year.

Rap artist A$AP Rocky sits front row at the runway for Dior Couture Spring 2013, as photographed by Tommy Ton.  The Harlem rap artist was there in support of Dior designer Raf Simons who joined the label as creative director in April 2012, in replacement of John Galliano. Thus far, early read on the collection, shown today during Paris Fashion Week, has been largely positive.
