Short is Back!



 

Short Is Back!

By Faith Stoveld
In Christian Dior’s Spring 2013 couture runway show we were able to see that the pixie hair cut is back and stronger then ever. Paired with the feminine, strapless, tulle dresses, the look is classic and elegant.
The hairstyle itself is said to have been resurrected from the 1960s, but it looks fabulous with any style, especially runway and especially Dior. It turns the outfit into something unusual, something more classic, almost instantly. This is such a refreshing change from the boring and safe long, straight hair or fancy up-do. It’s a perfect way to add an element of freshness, and the feeling of being lightweight to the clothes.
            While the clothes themselves do not look lightweight, the feathered pixie cut perfectly balances out each look. It brought femininity and youthfulness to a classic, household fashion name, Christian Dior.
