Founded by Hugh Hefner in 1953, the publication blended provocative photography with high-brow literary journalism, shaping the landscape of the sexual revolution and modern pop culture. In 2020, the iconic magazine ceased its regular print schedule, transitioning to a primarily digital-first model.
