History

The magazine was founded in 1998[1] by the current C.E.O. Luis Barajas,[2] and Creative Director Jim Turner, who had previously run Detour magazine as well as Long Nguyen.[3] The Editor in Chief is Matthew Bedard.[4]

Past cover models include David Bowie, Brad Pitt, Salma Hayek, Heath Ledger, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Sza, Nick Jonas, Camilla Cabello, Halsey, J Balvin, Cate Blanchett, Fan Bingbing, and Scarlet Johannsen.

In April 2019, Vice News reported a lawsuit filed by a former Flaunt employee in a Los Angeles Superior Court against the magazine, Barajas, and Bedard for "sexual harassment, sexual battery, failure to stop discrimination, and a litany of workplace violations they say they endured while working there".[5] After countersuing the plaintiff, both lawsuits were later dismissed with prejudice and settled privately in October 2019.[6]
