BASIC Submission Guidelines
BASIC Magazine is a new voice in fashion, art and photography. We always put the stories and concepts first. Our photo shoots are highly conceptualized and mind boggling.
Being a quarterly print and digital magazine distributed throughout fashion capitals all over the world, we strive for the most creative content available and want to give an opportunity for the right talent to showcase their works.
#BASIC accepts submissions from emerging and professional photographers, creative writers, artists, musicians, and fashion designers/brands. If accepted, your work may be featured in print edition and/on our website. We do accept fashion webitorials that are updated every week.
When submitting please also mention if the materials were published before (and where) or are exclusives. If we like your works we DO NOT mind previously published art; however the priority will be given to the exclusive content.

Note: #BASIC loves COLOR!
