Leandra Medine is a New York-based journalist and fashion blogger who’s collaborated on films with the designer Michael Kors and Barney’s Simon Doonan. “My blog started as a simple ‘Would this repel men or not?’,” Leandra told The Telegraph. “Now it’s more about questioning whether or not what I’m featuring is aesthetically pleasing and wearable art.’” Some of the outfits are definitely insane, and Leandra now has a huge fan-base of both women and men.
