[L] for Leandra Medine

Background

Leandra Medine (Man Repeller) is the brain behind one of the most funny as well as interesting fashion blog ManRepeller. She has been successful in not just talking about fashion and trends in her blog but also is great with her narrative. She speaks her mind, which makes her blog a fan favorite. She started this blog in 2010. Since then she has been applauded for her work by publications such as Forbes, TIME, Bloglovin’ etc. During Fashion Week she can always be always spotted in the front row.

Looking back at 2016

This year we could see her taking her blog platform to more of a media centric brand. Her podcast Monocycle , covers a gamut of successful ladies and goes deeper into ‘feelings’. Her Pop Culture coverage with The Chatroom is an interesting new way of covering industry icons from Karlie Kloss to Diane Von Frustenberg. She further diversified her brand by launching her own brand of shoes, which were sold on Net-a-Porter. She started MR Community Events this year as well, which we are so excited to be a part of in the coming year.
