Hari Nef, one of the first transgender models signed to a major modeling agency and one of 2015’s Forward 50, is the cover star of a newly launched women’s magazine called No Man’s Land.
The cover depicts a striking image of Nef clad in a high-necked, glittery dress (a dress that looks as if it were made for kirakira, the sparkle-inducing app beloved by both the fashion industry and Instagram influencers alike). Her stance powerful, even aggressive, as she steps through a slit in a white curtain.

The magazine, which is available for purchase online or at a Barnes & Noble near you, is a bi-annual publication created by Audrey Gelman’s The Wing, a female-only social club and co-working space (hence the name, No Man’s Land).
The magazine is 132 pages and costs $18. But to promote the magazine, The Wing has partnered with The Cut to publish 10 articles over the course of the week from No Man’s Land written by women with prestigious bylines such as Vogue and The New York Times.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
