Last year, Diesel sent frequent collaborator and bare-body-parts-loving photographer Terry Richardson on a worldwide jaunt for their From Rio to Hong Kong exhibit, which is yep, already over by now. But while he was in Rio de Janeiro shooting the show’s inclusions, Diesel’s Brazilian team pegged the idea to put a book together of just the photos he took of the Cariocas in the Wonderful City. Rio, Cidade Maravilhosa features some of Rio’s celebrities like actress Camila Pitanga mixed in with smooching drag queens, frolicking beach boys and girls at Ipanema’s Posto 9 section of beach, and rowdy baile funk partygoers — probably the only time that all these different groups can be found in such close proximity to each other at the same time, the same place, and in perfect T&A harmony. But the bad news: The book’s currently only available at Diesel stores in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, but according to Rio bookseller Travessa, it’ll hit a fine bookstore near you (check Colette and stores in L.A.) eventually. Cruise by some of the photos at RG Vogue’s site here, Globo’s here and watch a trailer for the book here.
