BASIC Magazine 29th Issue #Alchemy Cover Release starring Michelle Joy of CANNONS @michellejoy__ @cannonstheband Michelle Joy is the voice and emotional core of Cannons. Emerging from Los Angeles with a sound that defies easy categorization, she has spent years crafting music rooted in atmosphere, restraint, and vulnerability.

Every uncomfortable phase of my life has held some kind of lesson within it, and with that lesson, there’s always a kind of light.” ☕️ Hit the link in bio to order your hard copy NOW Photographer VIKTORIJA PASHUTA @viktorija_pashuta Stylist CARA GORDON @cara_gordon Hair NATALIE CASTILLO using Kenra Volume Hairspray and Unite Hair Oil @nataliecastillomua Makeup GILBERT SOLIZ using MAC Cosmetics with Paradis Agency @gilbert_soliz Nails JOLENE BRODEUR @jolene.b.nails Set Designer ANNA ANABEL @anna_anabel_ Production Coordinator CASSIDY COCKE @cassidy.ac Photography Assistant JATHAN CAMPBELL @jathancphoto Production Assistant DELANEY WILLET @dpwillet Location VOLKA CREATIVE SPACE @volkacreativespace Earrings RIGASH @rigash_ @tata__la #michellejoy #basicmagazine #cannonstheband #coverstar

French designer Lou de Bètoly @loudebetoly creates garments that feel suspended between fantasy and collapse—drawing from chaos, surrealism, nostalgia, and decadence to build a world entirely her own. Based in Berlin, her work transforms extravagance into something deeply personal through obsessive craftsmanship and richly layered embellishment. Blurring the line between fashion and dreamscape, Lou de Bètoly’s pieces resist trends and time altogether. Each design feels like a fragmented memory—intricate, emotional, and deliberately excessive, where imperfection and beauty coexist in tension. #LouDeBetoly #AvantGardeFashion #BerlinDesigner #ConceptualFashion #FashionArt

From London’s underground club scene of the late seventies to the world’s most prestigious couture runways, Stephen Jones @stephenjonesmillinery has spent decades redefining the role of the hat in fashion. What began at Blitz nightclub as self-expression evolved into one of the most influential millinery careers in modern fashion history. Known for balancing theatricality with craftsmanship, Jones transformed hats from accessories into statements—collaborating with everyone from Vivienne Westwood and Galliano to Dior and Thom Browne. Worn by royalty, pop icons, and fashion’s biggest names, his creations continue to shape the visual language of couture, performance, and contemporary style. #StephenJones #Millinery #FashionHistory #CoutureFashion #BritishFashion

A return to cinema rooted in emotion, atmosphere, and restrained intensity. Ceniza en la boca (ASHES), directed by Diego Luna, arrives at the intersection of intimate storytelling and global cinematic recognition, set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. ASHES marks a continuation of Luna’s exploration into human complexity, memory, and emotional aftermath, delivered through a lens that prioritizes subtlety over spectacle. The film’s presence at Cannes positions it within a lineage of auteur-driven cinema, where vision, tone, and storytelling are foregrounded above convention. A project that speaks in quiet tension that also deeply resonates far beyond the frame. #cenizaenlboca #ASHES #DiegoLuna #CannesFilmFestival #BASICMagazine

@janafrost.art and her fantasy world that took over the socials. Is traditional art making taking back its reign from AI?

A study in cinematic glamour and contemporary restraint. This year’s Cannes Film Festival red carpet unfolded as a dialogue between tradition and modern expression. Designers leaned into craftsmanship and narrative, using fabric not as decoration, but as structure and statement. At Cannes, fashion once again became cinema outside the screen with each look, each entrance and each detail being part of a larger visual language shaping the cultural moment.
