Wallpaper launches Brazil edition with big party in New York

Wallpaper* decided to do a whole edition on Brazil. June's Born in Brazil issue with a
big party in New York at Tribeca's Espasso, a design furniture store owned by Brazilian Carlos Junqueira (the event was co-hosted by Shopping Iguatemi's CEO, Carlos Jereissati).

Here are a couple of photos of the party, courtesy of  Scott Mitchem,  Wallpaper's man for all things Rio, showing cover girl Ana Beatriz (right) and pal Alessandra "VS Angel" Ambrósio.

The mag printed three different covers. One features top model Ana Beatriz Barros standing on the helipad of São Paulo's Emiliano hotel (pictured above).
A second cover shows a beefcake standing in the ubiqutous Fasano Rio rooftop pool, which has the advantage of offering the best possible view of Rio's famous "Dois Irmãos" mountains.
