'''''Flare''''' is a [[Canada|Canadian]] online [[fashion]] [[magazine]]. It is published by [[St. Joseph Communications]].
==History==
''Flare'' was created by [[Maclean-Hunter]] publishing in 1979, as a rebranding of ''Miss Chatelaine'' magazine. ''Flare'' promotes itself as "Canada's Fashion magazine".{{citation needed|date=August 2011}} While cover stories often feature American or international stars, ''Flare'' otherwise focuses largely on Canadian content and its role in international art, fashion, and media. In addition to runway and street fashion from Canada and abroad, the magazine covers music and entertainment, health and beauty, and feature stories relevant to young Canadian women. Flare celebrated its 30th anniversary on November 5, 2009, with a reception and party at the [[Royal Ontario Museum]].

''Flare'' was the brainchild of Donna Scott, who was assigned by Maclean-Hunter management to two of its magazines, ''Teen Generation'' and ''Miss Chatelaine''. Scott concluded the run of both magazines and created ''Flare'', aimed at young career women who, until that time, only had access to American fashion magazines.{{citation needed|date=August 2011}} Under the direction of its first editor, [[Keitha Maclean]], ''Flare'' became Canada's first successful fashion magazine.{{citation needed|date=August 2011}} Donna Scott retired from ''Flare'' and went on to Chair the [[Canada Council for the Arts]]. She was named an Officer of the [[Order of Canada]] in 1994. Subsequent editors included Shelley Black, [[Bonnie Fuller]], and [[Suzanne Boyd]].{{citation needed|date=August 2011}} The position is now held by Charlotte Herrold.

The print edition of ''Flare'' terminated at the end of 2016. Beginning in January 2017, the magazine was to publish online only.<ref>[http://www.cp24.com/news/rogers-to-make-4-of-its-magazines-online-only-by-2017-1.3095968 Rogers to make 4 of its magazines online-only by 2017]</ref><ref>{{cite news|author1=Alexandra Posadzki|title=Rogers announces magazine overhaul, will stop printing 4 publications|url=http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/rogers-announces-magazine-overhaul-will-stop-printing-4-publications-1.3095964|accessdate=January 8, 2017|work=CTV News|date=September 30, 2016|location=Toronto}}</ref>

On March 20, 2019, Rogers announced a deal to sell the magazine to [[St. Joseph Communications]].<ref>[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-toronto-life-owner-st-joseph-communications-to-buy-rogers-magazines/ "Toronto Life owner St. Joseph Communications to buy Rogers magazines"].
