Ocean Drive is an American luxury lifestyle and fashion magazine first published in January 1993 by Jason Binn and Jerry Powers.[1][2] With focus on the affluent culture of Miami and its surrounding areas, it covers "trends on fashion, beauty, art, travel, real estate, and entertainment."[3] It has been called the "Bible of South Florida" for its coverage of local culture and celebrity events.[4][5] Since 2021, Paige Mastrandrea Pulchino has served as editor-in-chief.[6]

History

The magazine was launched in January 1993 during a period of rapid growth in Miami’s fashion and nightlife industries. It became part of Niche Media Holdings (later GreenGale Publishing) in 2007[7][8] before being acquired by Modern Luxury Media in 2017.[9] Over time, Ocean Drive expanded from print to include a website and digital editions.
