#New playgirl magazine plus#
On whether she thinks the nudity in the magazine is a plus or a negative: I was thinking about this the other day. I don’t find that to be very interesting personally and I’ve never looked to replicate that in the publications that I’ve done. For lack of a different way of saying it, I find it quite boring to see the same person repeated in various iterations again and again and to only share one point of view. I’m from New York originally and I see diversity as a very central piece of the conversation. Dossier launched in 2007/2008 and so diversity has always been very central to the work that I look to do.
And it was quite a long time ago in terms of the life of a magazine. Dossier was an incredibly diverse publication as well. On whether it was intentional that she created a magazine that is so diverse and seems to be a coffee table book for an adult female who can have both a feast for her eyes and a feast for her brain: I wish you could see that I’m really smiling right now because that’s exactly what I hoped to create with this. And I think that’s what we achieved in terms of the marketplace. The moment seemed really right to do something interesting with it that could be meaningful. To take this iconic, feminist magazine and to reimagine it for today’s world seemed very exciting. From the beginning it seemed like an incredible opportunity to me as well. He didn’t have any personal experience in publishing, but he saw it as an interesting and incredible opportunity. The opportunity to buy the magazine sort of fell into his lap. He’s the great-grandson of Eugene Meyer, who owned the Washington Post for many years. On why she accepted the role of editor in chief to bring Playgirl back to print and where it fits in the marketplace today: I was introduced to the publisher, who is a young man from a publishing family. And once again, in 2020 Playgirl magazine returned to the newsstands as an upscale coffee-table like magazine It was a delightful conversation about a title that should open up many more dialogues. Magazine™ interview with Skye Parrot, editor in chief, Playgirl Magazine (relaunched). It’s a rebirth of a brand that many have been waiting for. The magazine has beautiful photography, yet stories that are compelling and on point with the issues we are facing currently. The articles are there and very substantive, with the subject matter very topical for the world of today. “I think we’ve looked at sex and sexuality and the body very differently in this magazine than how it was approached previously.” She was excited about the new direction, yet recognized the value of the title’s history, knowing that nudity and sexuality had always been a part of the magazine, but according to Skye it’s all about the approach to those topics and the way you execute them. I spoke with Skye recently and we talked about this new, modern-day Playgirl magazine.
Today, Skye is bringing her talents and creative vision to Playgirl. Skye Parrott is the new editor in chief, formerly cofounder and creative director of Dossier, an arts and fashion magazine, known as a platform that championed young creatives and helped to launch the careers of many photographers, fashion designers, and artists.
With a new publisher/owner and a new editor in chief, the magazine is ready to tackle today’s issues, including injustices and the pandemic, with a steadfast head on its shoulders and a fresh new voice in women’s magazines. The former Playgirl had its last issue in 2015 and the difference between that Playgirl and today’s Playgirl is palpable. Photo by Kat Slootskyįrom the ashes, Playgirl has been reborn with a new, more feminine viewpoint, but with its indelible history intact. “Going into Playgirl, it’s very intentionally diverse because I think as you approach the idea of what space a modern feminist publication could occupy, one of the things that I’ve thought a lot about, and I think this is what the tagline on the cover speaks to, is the idea that rather than offering the feminist point of view, what if we offer a feminine point of view? And what does that look like? What are the ideals that are lifted up? What are we celebrating? What are we putting forward with this magazine?” Skye Parrott… Skye Parrott, editor in chief of the newly relaunched Playgirl magazine.
