Colabelli, Publisher and CEO. Colabelli, who had previously worked as a financial consultant and broker at [Merrill Lynch](/source/Merrill_Lynch) and as principal and publisher at Tear Sheet Publications, founded the magazine to serve Philadelphia's affluent community. Dana Spain-Smith became the magazine's CEO in 2001 and bought out Colabelli in 2004, operating the publication under DLG Media Holdings, which also published the online titles ''DC Style'' and ACConfidential.com. On February 4, 2008, [Jason Binn](/source/Jason_Binn)'s [Niche Media](/source/Niche_Media) acquired DLG Media Holdings, purchasing ''Philadelphia Style'' along with its sister online publications. Spain-Smith cited her desire to devote her time to the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society as her reason for selling. Colabelli remained as publisher following the acquisition.{{cite news |last=Klein |first=Michael |date=February 4, 2008 |title=Philly Style magazine is sold |url=https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/breaking/20080204_Philly_Style_magazine_is_sold.html |work=The Philadelphia Inquirer |access-date=May 24, 2026}}{{cite news|author=Jason Fell|title=Niche Media Acquires Philadelphia Style|url=http://www.foliomag.com/2008/niche-media-acquires-philadelphia-style/|accessdate=November 23, 2015|work=Folio Mag|date=February 5, 2008}} Niche Media was subsequently sold to [Greenspun Media Group](/source/Greenspun_Media_Group) and later renamed GreenGale Publishing.{{Cite web|title=Niche Media Holdings Rebrands as GreenGale Publishing - Folio|url=http://www.foliomag.com/2015/niche-media-holdings-rebrands-greengale-publishing/|work=Folio|access-date=February 23, 2016}} In May 2017, GreenGale was acquired by Modern Luxury.
