Few men's magazines are as iconic, or as (in)famous, as Playboy. It was founded in Chicago in 1953 by Hugh Hefner, who had to borrow $1,000 USD from his mother to get the magazine up and running.
The magazine has been responsible for launching and promoting the careers of thousands of models over the years, and a number of them agreed to pose for a new series of pictures years after they'd first appeared between the pages of Playboy. Spanning three decades, from Miss March 1954 to Miss January 1979, the models were snapped by photographer Nadav Kander for a recent feature in New York Mag.

Is it just me or the girls in Playboy were more natural back in the days?
It's not just you -- women were more "natural" previously. It's amazing how different the various decades look. You'll also see differences in the various countries where Playboy is printed. Very regional, and very different. I know this because my husband and I used to look at large news stands/bookstores for the imports -- the images were usually much more enticing to our eyes! :)
Lovely ladies! Absolutely beautiful, then AND now!
well not to burst the delusional beauty bubble, BUT certainly they've had quite a lot of "aesthetic jobs" done on them...
some show (last one for instance), but i was never that stunning, not even at 20! :D
There is an odd resemblance in the more recent pictures to of all people, Cait Jenner. Really. Check #3 and #6.
