Candace Bushnell, Todd English and Ramona Singer joined Bradford Rand, Kenneth and Maria Fishel and guests for an invitation-only celebration benefiting local charities, featuring over 100 million dollars in collector automobiles.
A Milestone Anniversary Celebration
Executive Producer Bradford Rand and his team at RAND Luxury marked the company’s 20th anniversary by producing its largest event in the Hamptons yet, the 2026 Hamptons Concours d’Elegance. The annual event sold out in advance once again, bringing together automotive enthusiasts, collectors, celebrities and luxury lifestyle brands. Held at the private Bridgehampton estate of Kenneth and Maria Fishel, the gathering combined more than 100 million dollars in collector automobiles, luxury experiences and charitable fundraising to create one of the East End’s signature summer events.
Celebrity Presenters and Award Highlights
Adding celebrity flair to the afternoon, author and cultural commentator Candace Bushnell presented the Sexiest Car Award, celebrity chef Todd English presented the English Award, and television personality Ramona Singer presented the Forever Fabulous Award, each recognizing standout automobiles showcased throughout the concours. The Diamond Award was presented by Michael Patrizio of MAST Capital, the concours’ title sponsor.
