Playboy Reimagined with Purpose | Toronto News
About this episode
The episode discusses Playboy's reinvention under Phillip Picardi, focusing on modern representation and digital expansion.
Playboy is reinventing itself with a bold, artful approach to nudity and storytelling, led by new editor-in-chief Phillip Picardi, who’s putting models in control of their own image and reshaping the brand for a modern, inclusive audience. After a rocky past including a 2015 nudity experiment and a 2020 print halt, the magazine is reviving its legacy through digital expansion, social media, and high-profile features like Cara Delevingne and Karol G. Financially, they’re turning things around—with revenue up 4% in 2025 and a narrowed net loss. Picardi isn’t calling it feminist, but he’s clear: when women direct their own representation, they feel empowered. It’s a nostalgic yet forward-looking pivot, blending Playboy’s classic vibe with today’s values and media landscape.
