Leandra Medine is an American author and fashion blogger best known for The Man Repeller, a humorous website for serious fashion. She explained the title of her blog to the Daily Mail: "Good fashion is about pleasing women, not men, so as it happens, the trends that we love, men hate. And that is fantastic."
In 2012, Medine was featured in Forbes's "Top 30 Under 30" as one of the year's "most influential trendsetters," while The Man Repeller was recognized in TIME's "25 Best Blogs of 2012", and received "Best Overall Blog" at the 2012 Bloglovin' Awards. In that year, Medine also topped Adweek's "Fashion Power 25" which recognizes those "who truly mattered in fashion and style," beating the likes of Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, and Anna Wintour." In 2013, Medine was featured in Fast Company Magazine's "100 Most Creative People" issue.
Medine was born and raised in New York City, the daughter of Mois and Lyora "Laura" Medine. She is of Turkish Jewish and Iranian Jewish descent. Medine attended the Ramaz School on the Upper East Side. Medine has three brothers: Haim, Henry and Mark.
In May 2011, Medine obtained her undergraduate degree from The New School, where she majored in Journalism.
Medine's first foray into blogging began in 2009, with her first humor blog, Boogers + Bagels, hosted by web-publishing service, blogspot. The name of the blog arose from an anecdote which Medine shared on the blog, in which she explains that "I was enjoying the fantastic weather while looking devilishly handsome clad in a Madewell Chambray light wash shirt with ripped Levi's denim shorts"..."Anyway, I stopped at Bagel Bob's to get a bagel and eat it in Washington Square Park. So I got it and I ate it and while I was eating it found a booger on my cream cheese. Boogers and bagels".
