Over the course of a year, Tori chose to research and write on a topic she is passionate about, 

fashion magazines, for her final thesis project for her Masters in Fashion Studies at Parsons Paris.

Tori chose to focus on FLARE magazine under Suzanne Boyd as EIC to analyze how national identity is represented in fashion magazines, a very timely topic as the fashion print industry and concept of fashion cities are both deeply influenced during our current hyper-globalized era.

Tori looked to journalistic articles, editorial photography as well as editors letters to understand how Canadian identity is relayed through FLARE.
