THE MEDIA MOMENT
EDITORIAL PARTNER
HIGHSNOBIETY
Our editorial media partner Highsnobiety was on the ground again, this time with local talent Jorgey capturing the day. He took us through day, heading to his shop before arriving at the event, where he walked the crowd through the artists' progress in real time, kept the voting urgency alive, and made sure every person who walked in knew exactly what they were standing in the middle of.
THE DAY AT THE PARK
Houston gave us a perfect Saturday — clear sky, easy breeze, and one of the city's best urban parks as our stage. Discovery Green delivered exactly the kind of energy this tour was built for.
THE SETTING
Discovery Green's open lawns and downtown skyline gave the Corvette a stage that felt both iconic and unmistakably Houston. The car sat at the heart of the park, drawing crowds in from every direction.
THE '79 CORVETTE
The same vintage Stingray that made its debut in Miami arrived in Houston.
THE SS26 BOOTH
Carrera's Spring/Summer 2026 collection on full display — guests tried on the latest frames and saw firsthand the design language that's defined 70 years of the brand.
THE CROWD
A real Houston turnout — families, students from the local art scene, design heads, and longtime fans of the brand. The energy around the canvas didn't let up all afternoon.
