Elevated Creatives and High Fashion Meet High Vibes
At night, Terp Basel transforms — the lights drop, cameras flash, and Highest on the Runway takes over.
This groundbreaking fashion show, created by Cristina Plinio (CRISP) in partnership with Gastronomy Media, has become a centerpiece of Art Basel’s nightlife lineup.
Forget what you know about fashion shows — this is performance art. Models walk, smoke, and embody empowerment, wearing avant-garde designs inspired by cannabis culture and couture aesthetics.
Past shows have featured looks from:
-
IKONOKLASTA by Reagan Bailey, merging streetwear with high-concept fashion.
-
Gastronomy Magazine, blending cultural storytelling and editorial art.
-
THC Girls, empowering women in cannabis through experiential branding.
-
The Highly Connected, presenting fashion as a form of connection and creative collaboration.
-
CLAB (Cannabis Lab), representing innovation and entrepreneurship within lifestyle branding.
Every runway piece tells a story — about freedom, culture, and the evolution of cannabis as a symbol of individuality and sophistication.
Art Basel Energy, Cannabis Attitude
During the first week of December, Miami becomes a melting pot of collectors, designers, and cultural icons — and Terp Basel sits right at the center of that energy.

It’s where cannabis meets couture, and the vibe is pure Miami — unapologetic, creative, and iconic.
