The Miami Design District traded its galleries for a weekend devoted to rare machinery. The sixth annual Concours drew collectors, athletes and local power brokers into the open-air neighborhood for a run of red-carpet moments tied to Lamborghini's 60th anniversary, with World Red Eye capturing the social mix along NE 39th Street.
Key facts
- The 6th annual Concours took place the weekend of February 19, 2023, in the Miami Design District.
- Programming centered on the 60th anniversary of Lamborghini.
- Some of the rarest collectible supercars in existence were on view.
- Real estate developer Craig Robins appeared with collectors John Temerian and Ronnie Vogel.
- Brett David of The Collection and Inter Miami CF players were also in attendance.
Inside the red carpet
World Red Eye's gallery showed a rolling cast of familiar Miami faces pausing for the cameras. Developer Craig Robins and collector John Temerian worked the room together, joined by Ronnie Vogel and Brett David, founder of The Collection, the South Florida dealership known for high-end exotics.
Inter Miami CF arrived in force. Drake Callender, Ariel Lassiter, Bryce Duke, Benja Cresmanchi and Israel Valdez posed as a group, with team executive Jorge Mas joining the players for additional photos. Models and event regulars Brendan Fallis and Jake Rosenberg also made the photo cut, rounding out the mix of athletes, developers and brand figures.
Why this matters for Miami's social scene
The Design District has spent more than a decade repositioning itself from a furniture showroom row into a year-round cultural address. Concours is part of that pivot. Rather than relying on Art Basel alone, the neighborhood now programs around fashion weeks, tech summits and an auto weekend that pulls the same collectors who show up in Monaco and Pebble Beach.
A milestone anniversary like Lamborghini's 60th gives organizers a built-in narrative and gives sponsors something to sell. Without a headline marque, a weekend of parked supercars risks reading as a static display. With one, it becomes a moving tribute that justifies a corporate activation budget and a ticketed guest list.
For Inter Miami, the appearance signals how the club has woven itself into Miami's broader social calendar—concerts at Hard Rock, polo in Wellington, art fairs in Wynwood and auto weekends in the Design District increasingly draw from the same guest lists.
What to watch next
Watch for the 2024 headlining marque. A milestone anniversary gave the event strong collector and sponsor appeal. Organizers will likely need a comparable hook—a major brand centennial or a generational collector milestone—to maintain that momentum.
