Leandra Medine Cohen (born December 20, 1988)[2] is an American author, blogger, and humor writer best known for Man Repeller.

Early life and education

Medine was born on December 20, 1988[3] in Manhattan.[4] Her father, Mois Medine, is of Turkish-Jewish descent, and her mother, Lyora "Laura" Medine, is of Iranian-Jewish descent.[3][5][6] She grew up in an Orthodox Jewish household.[7]

Medine attended the Ramaz School in Manhattan.[8] She earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the New School's Eugene Lang College in May 2011.[9][10]

Career

Early career

Medine began writing online in 2009 while a student at The New School. After studying abroad in Paris, she started a blog called Four Months in Paris, later renaming it Boogers + Bagels.[11]

Man Repeller

Medine started the Man Repeller blog in May 2010.[12] The idea for the blog came during a shopping trip with her friend where they discussed how everything was man-repelling.[13]

A few days after it launched, the blog was featured on the fashion website Refinery29.[14] Medine began collaborating with magazines like Lucky and Harper's Bazaar.[13] [14]

In 2012, Medine appeared in a Forbes 30 Under 30 list.[15] Man Repeller was included in TIME's "25 Best Blogs of 2012",[16] and received "Best Overall Blog" at the 2012 Bloglovin' Awards.[17]

Initially, the blog was written solely by Medine but later grew to include contributions from several writers and editors. In September 2013, Grand Central Publishing published the book Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls.[citation needed]

Medine announced in June 2020 that she would “step back” from her involvement in Man Repeller after allegations of racism.[18] In September 2020, the site was rebranded to Repeller. On October 22, 2020, it was confirmed that Repeller would shut down due to financial constraints.[19][20]

Medine currently maintains a Substack newsletter about "how to get dressed (mostly)."[citation needed]

Brand Partnerships

Medine has collaborated with designers on limited collections of clothes and accessories, including Gryphon, shoe companies Del Toro and Superga, jewelry line Dannijo, and clothing line PJK.[21]

In 2012, Medine signed with the Creative Artists Agency, an entertainment talent agency headquartered in Los Angeles, California.[21] In 2016, Medine collaborated with Net-a-Porter to launch the shoe line MR by Man Repeller. Later, Medine created her own shoe line Leandra Medine.[22]

On October 29, 2019, Medine launched a partnership collection with Mango.[23]

Publications

Medine Cohen released her first book, an essay collection, and a memoir titled Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls, in 2013.[citation needed]

Personal life

In December 2011, Medine announced her engagement to Abie J. Cohen, a financial advisor at UBS, whom she had met when she was 17 years old.[24][25] [26]

Medine and Cohen married in June 2012.[27] They live in the East Village.[28] In a Man Repeller article published in December 2016, Medine revealed she had suffered a miscarriage.[29] On March 1, 2018, Medine gave birth to twin girls, Laura and Madeline.[30] Medine gave birth to her third daughter, Joelle, in August 2024.
