This video dives into the true story of the Playboy Bunny uniform—from its 1960 Chicago origins to its afterlife as a global icon. We explore how designer Zelda Wynn Valdes crafted the first suits, how Bunny Mothers enforced strict dress codes and conduct, and how Gloria Steinem’s undercover report exposed the physical toll behind the glamour.
Viewers will see how the costume became synonymous with luxury and control, why it still divides opinion today, and how its silhouette survives in film, fashion, and Halloween culture. Finally, we revisit the conflicting legacy left behind by Hefner’s empire—one part empowerment, one part exploitation—and the enduring fascination with satin ears that refuse to disappear.
