History

The magazine began publication in 1985 in the UK under the name For Him Magazine{{cite book|author1=Di Hand|author2=Steve Middleditch|title=Design for Media: A Handbook for Students and Professionals in Journalism, PR, and Advertising|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UrAABAAAQBAJ&pg=PA8|access-date=2 August 2015|date=10 July 2014|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-317-86402-8|page=8}} and changed its title to FHM in May 1992, although the full For Him Magazine continued to be printed on the spine of each issue. The first woman to appear on the cover was Gina Bellman in February 1993.{{Cn|date=March 2024}} The trend towards female cover stars grew over the following year, with both Naomi Campbell and Andie MacDowell appearing.{{Citation needed|date=November 2017}}

Circulation expanded to newsagents as a quarterly by the spring of 1987 and then monthly in 1994. EMAP Consumer Media bought the magazine in 1994 and it subsequently went on to dominate the UK men's market and began to expand internationally, being published in 32 countries including India.
