No. 14. PIN–UP’s Brazil-inspired issue. 2013. One year before the World Cup. Three years before the Olympics. Euphoria and optimism. Legends old and new: Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Lina Bo Bardi, Rodrigo Matheus, and more. Plus plenty non-Brazil related themes — OMA, Olgiati, Kollhoff, Tom of Finland. A true beauty, inside out. Hard to find. (2021 reinterpretation by Adrian Gaut.)
