Ahead of the new Hulu series Welcome to Chippendales, take a trip down memory lane and check out old photos of the first male strip club.&nbsp;

Chippendales is a touring dance group best known for their striptease spectacles, as well as their minimal attire, such as a bow-tie collar. The group was founded in 1979 as the first male stripping dance troupe with high-quality choreography, setting them on a path within the entertainment industry that led to appearances on popular television shows including <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/reasons-to-love-dolly-parton-music-philanthropy-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dolly</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/adele-saturday-night-live-host-singer-first-music-charts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Night Live</a>, and more. Today, Hulu is offering viewers a look into the male strip club's creation with its new series Welcome to Chippendales.
The show chronicles the rise and fall of the prolific male strip club as well as the multi-million-dollar man behind the empire. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/behind-the-scenes-marvels-eternals-angelina-jolie-superhero-movie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kumail Najiani</a> will play Chippendales founder Somen "Steve" Banerjee in this eight-episode limited series that outlines how the businessman's legacy was overshadowed by scandal.
