VIXX Love Equation

The song fits perfectly with the styling of the members as the upbeat ballad calls for very cute and trendy boy next door outfits, sporty chic outfits, and custom made uniforms. The color palette is very on trend and accurate for the season and makes the boys look very hip and cool. Ravi, in particular, looks stunning with his bleached blonde hair. VXX proves once again that they look amazing on everything they get styled for.

Her fellow label mate, Taeyeon from Girls’ Generation joined her, as did many of her famous friends on her music video.

4MINUTE Crazy
4MINUTE had a chance to shine in February with an amazing song, and the styling for their comeback track Crazy was on point. The styling of the girls was done by none other than member Gayoon and has a mixture of health-goth, grunge, and punk. The girls are paired with custom made bucket hats, ripped shorts, cropped tops, and various activewear. This style goes very well with the girls and doesn’t seem forced as some may think with the fashion in other music videos, a la Girls’ Generation in I Got A Boy. Don’t get me wrong, the styling in that music video was great but it didn’t fit the image that Girls’ Generation usually appeared with. 4MINUTE’s appearance in Crazy, on the other hand, felt refreshing and the members totally adapted the style as it doesn’t vary that much from what they had previously worn. It is a change from what we have been used to seeing them in, but not a total 360 turnaround. The girls sport brands like Stussy and even some of Chromat’s pieces, an experimental brand that has been previously worn by Lady Gaga and Beyonce.
