NEW YORK, July 16, 2008 - Caribbean high fashion and luxury lifestyle magazine Ocean Style is proud to unveil Grammy award-winning superstar Mariah Carey as she graces the cover of the current issue.

Editor at Large, Jasmine Dotiwala, spent three luxurious weeks jet-setting in true VIP style with the pop diva, whisked away (on a G5, of course) on a truly fabulous holiday excursion to the idyllic snow capped mountains of Aspen to spend the holidays with Mariah and her friends. Ocean Style had the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes with Mariah on her extravagant vacay from the slopes of Aspen to island hopping in the Caribbean (including the glistening pink sands of her private estate, Paradise, in the Bahamas - the same beach, where she later wed her prince, Nick Cannon). Mariah opened up about everything from her continued life emancipation to her new women's fragrance "Mimi" (the dessert of all desserts), her new movie Tennessee (which debuted at the New York Tribeca film festival) and of course, her latest chart topping smash hit album, E=MC2 released on Mercury Def Jam. "Touch My Body" is Mariah's 18th career #1 single surpassing Elvis Pressley's 17 #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits.

This issue of Ocean Style is packed with the elements of high fashion and luxury lifestyle that have come to be its trademarks. The issue features "Pirate Tales" a glorious fashion story shot by internationally acclaimed photographer Dagmara on the picturesque resort of Royal Plantation Island (Fowl Cay) in the Bahamas. After going backstage at New York fashion week, the issue takes a glimpse behind the scenes of a fashion empire, with Parisian designer and style maker, Catherine Malandrino. In another fashion editorial, "Spring Forward" shot on the North Coast of Jamaica, the magazine ventures from the luxury resort villa lifestyle captured at "Afterglow" to the rapids of the White River expertly shepherded by the guide of Chukka Tours. Events are well represented in this issue from the prestige of the Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues festival to the streets of Port of Spain for what has been called "the greatest show on the Earth" the annual carnival in Trinidad & Tobago.

This issue captures the essence of the publication: a mix of high fashion and elements of the luxury lifestyle that capture the best of Caribbean living which are all presented at uncompromising standards.
