Suno Spring 2013 Hair and Makeup Pictures

A fashion show may take less than 10 minutes start to finish, but so much happens in the days and weeks leading up to the big day. Before the runway show, before the backstage frenzy, there's the all-important hair and makeup test — where designers and beauty teams confer on the final runway look. For Spring 2013, hair genius Odile Gilbert partnered with Suno, a duo whose clothing incorporates African textiles. Here, an exclusive peek at the process of perfecting the look just 24 hours before the show.
