O Rio de Janiero: Bruce Weber: Luscious beyond compare
Sometime after Duran Duran's Rio LP and long before La Gisele and her army of Brazilian bombshells. ...Before Sao Paulo Fashion Week became an international stop-over and way in advance of Mario Testino's cosmpolitan sheen on things, there was Bruce Weber's ode to the beauty of those Brazilian kids. O Rio has inspired Versace campaigns, fleets of model scouts and a generation of young photographers. The 1986 first edition of this landmark work is now trading at a market value of $1,900.00. Which is why you should never regret buying a beautiful coffee table book!

I was 17 yrs old and would constantly look at this book at the store!!!!!!!! If only I had bought it then then.
you had asked in a previous posting what images first inspired us. It was more than images for me it was a collective. This book, the movie "Diva", the Valentino ads on the back cover of Interviews, Andy Warhols 15mins on MTV, Taxi magazine (which was a genius way ahead of it's time magazine)...and countless others but anything that Bruce Weber was doing in the 80's would get me going.
