BASIC 07 Digital Cover - FriendZone Viktorija Pashuta — Editor-in-Chief
A Decade of Vision Ten years ago, BASIC started as an idea I couldn’t ignore.
Not a business plan. Not a trend.
A vision. A vision for a magazine that didn’t follow rules, didn’t chase relevance, and didn’t dilute creativity to fit in. Over the years, BASIC became more than print.
 It became a platform, a point of view,
a space where fashion, art, and culture could exist without compromise. In a world that moves faster every day,
I chose to slow down — to create something intentional, something collectible, something that lasts. Because print was never dying.
It was waiting to become luxury. This cover is not just a reflection of where BASIC has been — it’s a marker of where we’re going next. More defined. More fearless. More unapologetic. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey — and to those just discovering us now. This is just the beginning. — Editor-in-Chief

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. After the breakout success of “Fire for You” accelerated the band’s rise, Joy entered a period of reflection that reshaped her relationship to creativity, health, and longevity. 💭”I realized there’s light in everything, even in the dark if you’re willing stay with it and try to learn what lesson it’s trying to teach you. 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
