Man Repeller's Leandra Medine on how to silence your critics: SuccessWithMoira
“I've learned everything from scratch. I had no idea what I was doing when I started out,” says Leandra Medine, creator of the satirical style site Man Repeller. Today Medine’s name and her signature sense of style are synonymous with the New York fashion scene and her inimitable voice has cemented her status as one of the industry’s most formidable forces.
“I really do believe that my opinion is worth being heard all the time,” laughs Medine, a lifelong New Yorker. “But I didn’t think Man Repeller was going to become my career until I realized that I had saved enough money and certainly had a smart and strategic enough business mind to start hiring other people. I thought to myself, ‘I have nothing to lose, so why not give it a try?’” she recalls.
Fostering deep, authentic connections with her community lies at the heart of Medine’s brand-building success. Her savvy wit and refreshingly honest point of view on everything from wide-leg trousers to her journey through infertility have endeared her to readers and set Man Repeller apart from the crowd. “We have always been so hell bent on maintaining and developing and perpetuating this community.
I recently sat down with Medine to discuss her burgeoning lifestyle brand, blocking out criticism, and how motherhood has changed her career for the better. Edited highlights below.“I don't necessarily feel like I found a voice so much as I did find a medium to facilitate the expression of the voice. And certainly it evolves because any voice that is honest and authentic is going to evolve as the beholder of said voice does.
