“Playboy is Back!” featuring Supermodel Misty Smith
PLAYBOY IS BACK!
‘We're going to make a big investment bringing back the Playmate franchise, but we have bigger aspirations,' Kohn said.
One idea Kohn has is to make the Playmate of the Year a global competition that incorporates fan voting from around the world.
While the publication is looking ahead to the future, they're still focused on bringing back some of the best parts of the classic magazine too.
One move the magazine made was to shoot on film instead of digitally, with editors putting a huge focus on the quality of the photography featured in the new issue.
Playboy's return to racy content and traditional beauty standards is a far cry from where the publication was just a few years ago.
In 2017, just one month after the death of Playboy's founder and editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner, the magazine featured its first transgender Playmate with French model Ines Rau gracing the pages.
Discussing the bold decision to include transgender women in Playboy after 64 years of biological females, Hefner's son Cooper, then 26, said at the time, 'It's the right thing to do. We're at a moment where gender roles are evolving.'
