In celebration of ultimate icon Mariah Carey’s memoir announcement, V have unearthed some rare, behind-the-scenes footage that has remained unseen for over 14 years! The icon was photographed back in 2006 by longtime V family member Karl Lagerfeld at the Beverly Hills Hotel for her V39 cover. Fast forward to present day, Mariah is now gearing up for the release of her upcoming memoir titled “The Meaning of Mariah Carey”, written by Michaela Angelad for Andy Cohen Books! The global superstar is ready to tell her story, finding yet another dimension to her unparalleled voice, telling her fans “Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling, and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me but also about the resilience of the human spirit.”

For all the devoted Mariah fans, V have a surprise for you! V39 is now officially a part of our Collectors Club!
