STYLE FILES: Many Styles From A to Z

We've previously written about how versatile the girls are when it comes to fashion and music. They can alternate from avant-garde chic that seems fresh off the runways to carefree urban-wear ready to rule the street fashion districts with their bold, playful, hip-hop inspired outfits. 

2ne1 showed their versatility once again, in their recent photoshoots. This month, 2NE1 graced the cover of two famous fashion magazines, Bling and Nylon Japan. In both magazine spreads, they prove that they're indeed fashion chameleons. 

The magazines definitely showcased 2NE1's style ~ bold, playful, cool and unconventional but the concept that Bling and Nylon applied to the girls was very different from each other. Nylon went with polished, fashion-forward outfits by internationally loved designers. Whereas Bling went casual with Adidas' apparel.
