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.

Imagine:
Luxury streetwear collabs dropping exclusively for the show.
Accessory brands showcasing hand-blown glass and resin jewelry.
Beauty brands launching hemp-infused skincare lines.
Designers unveiling sustainable fashion pieces made from plant-based fabrics.

This event attracts everyone from boutique cannabis founders to luxury designers who see the potential in aligning with a modern, elevated lifestyle.
It’s where cannabis meets couture, and the vibe is pure Miami — unapologetic, creative, and iconic.


A Launchpad for Innovative Brands

Both Terp Basel and Highest on the Runway have become launchpads for emerging brands ready to make a statement.
Here, visibility meets opportunity:

  • Startups connect with investors and retail partners.

  • Designers collaborate with cultivators on limited collections.

  • Creators find partnerships that expand their audience and impact.

It’s a platform that empowers small businesses, women founders, and cultural leaders to step into the spotlight — all while showcasing how cannabis and fashion can coexist beautifully.
