Flare magazine wasn’t the only Canadian pub at New York Fashion Week, despite tweets to the contrary

Toronto has three major Canadian fashion publications—Fashion, Flare and Elle Canada—and, as in any good sector, the goal is always to be number one. Yesterday, the fight for the top spot seemed to have been clearly won by Flare, with fashion director Liz Cabral tweeting from Proenza Schouler’s show at New York Fashion Week, “will be the only Cdn magazine at tonights Proenza Schouler show. No reception @ the venue, look for tweets right after!  #nyfw.” We found this particularly surprising, considering Fashion magazine’s beauty director, Lesa Hannah, was a Canadian fashion journalist given access to report on beauty for the Schouler show backstage—which means at least two of the three Canadian fashion bibles were in house. Cabral showed no regret for her hubris, considering her many tweets were left public for the rest of the night, but this morning, without an apology or correction, all whispers of Flare’s access had been deleted.
