Survived by sisters Marika and Ero along with many nieces and nephews.<br />Zoe came to Canada with her husband in 1954 and in 1960 she opened Zoe, her couturier boutique at Bloor and Balmuto Streets.<br />As a young woman in Greece, Zoe grew up with a love of fine fabrics and fashion. Her self-taught and outstanding design skills enabled her to build a thriving business and professional reputation in Canada. Her clothes were known for their classic elegance, luxurious fabrics and high quality of workmanship. For more than forty years, she dressed a variety of discerning women who appreciated her extraordinary talents. In 1992 she received the City of Toronto Couturier Award, presented to her by the Mayor, for excellence in Fashion Design.
