New York Fashion Week (NYFW) has long been a showcase for avant-garde fashion, but this year, it also became a stage for a groundbreaking cannabis experience. Claudine Farms, an upstate New York cannabis brand known for its clean, organic products, teamed up with The Vapor Bar Experience (VBE) and American Hash Makers (AHM) to bring a new level of sophistication and luxury to the event.

Elevating the Cannabis Experience

Claudine Farms, celebrated for its sun-grown cannabis flower and artisanal infused honey, aimed to blend their commitment to quality with a fresh take on cannabis consumption. Their collaboration with The Vapor Bar Experience and American Hash Makers  introduced an elegant and innovative approach that captivated the fashion elite.

King Aswad, co-founder of Claudine Farms, shared his excitement about the event: “Claudine Farms had the pleasure of partnering with The Vapor Bar Experience during New York Fashion Week, and it was truly unforgettable. The way VBE presented these products was unlike anything we’ve seen before. Guests were treated to pure, solventless cannabis vapors served in elegant glasses and terpene-rich low-dose or CBD-only vapor cocktails in fun beverage cups. It was a standout experience that was both social and safe—a safer alternative to the traditional joint-passing ritual.”

Jasmine Burems, co-founder alongside Aswad, echoed these sentiments: “The Vapor Bar brought a new level of sophistication to cannabis consumption. The creativity and professionalism of the team made the experience feel celebratory, familiar, and luxurious. Our guests were completely engaged, and it was the perfect way to showcase Claudine Farms in a space like Fashion Week. The Vapor Bar Experience was the highlight of our activation, and we’re excited to continue this partnership.”

Setting a New Standard with The Vapor Bar Experience

The Vapor Bar Experience redefined traditional cannabis setups with its clean and modern approach. By using sleek vapor cups and offering solventless live rosin from American Hash Makers, VBE created an upscale and hygienic atmosphere that resonated with the NYFW crowd.

Joe Hoenigmann and Michael LaLuna, founders of Adonis NY and part of the team behind American Hash Makers, were impressed by the event’s impact: “At a recent event, we saw the classic dab bar setup, but what truly stole the show was the Vapor Bar Experience,” said Joe Hoenigmann and Michael LaLuna, founders of Adonis NY and part of the team behind American Hash Makers, a high-end cannabis extract brand. “Guests were instantly drawn to it—it was more hygienic, interactive, and just plain fun. You could feel the energy shift in the room. The excitement was palpable, and we knew right then: this is the future of cannabis at upscale events.”
