Biography

Born and raised in Helsinki, Finland, Mora worked as a fashion photographer in Paris and London before returning to Finland.[4] She purchased the trademarks of the Helsinki Fashion Week and re-launched the event in 2014.[5] Under her leadership, the event has developed a sustainable approach to fashion; in 2019 the event banned the use of leather in garments shown during the week.[6][7] It is considered the first 100% sustainable fashion week.[8]

Mora is a board member of the Nordic Fashion Association.[9]
