Political Science and German with a minor in Business but her heart was
always in fashion.
years; trying to find what it is that she really wants to do and decided
to pursue them on the side. She started designing costume jewellery
with swarovski crystals and evil eye glass beads for herself and her
friends as a hobby. It was all about colours and sparkle. Soon after,
this hobby of hers turned into popular jewellery parties and exhibits.
She decided to take a summer off of university and take jewellery design
courses. Following that summer, Moda Jewellery and Accessories was
born. After many years of designing, marketing, retailing, and
distributing to stores around Canada; Ozlem founded House of Moda with
her partner. The word “moda” means fashion in many European languages.
House of Moda, the fashion house, is located in Halifax, NS. Now, HoM is
more than just a jewellery boutique; it is a social meeting point in

From dance performances to protests to folks in drag it was definitely a must see show. I will say though that was unfortunate that the setting wasn’t planned a little better. In an attempt to speed up the show the models
were asked not to complete the catwalk when doing their walk throughs,
and so us media folk and photographers located at the end of the “s”
shaped runway really missed a lot of the show. In any case there’s
always going to hiccups and learning experiences from these types of events especially so when it’s a new venue. Ultimately it still was an amazing show, and the local designers really worked hard, and it really showed on the runway!
