http://www.malenegrotrian.com | Since opening the doors to her own atelier over one year ago, Malene Grotrian has been dressing some of Vancouver’s most notable talent. Her designs are inspired by timeless and unique European style. Each elegant piece is handcrafted with femininity and sophistication in mind. Her collections consist of striking evening wear pieces, professional wear and custom designs. All pieces are designed with unexpected details to create a nouveau classic expression and are made locally in Vancouver B.C. Canada.

Born and raised in Denmark, Malene Grotrian graduated in 2004 from the Danish design school, Teko Center Denmark. After furthering her design and fine art studies in Italy, Malene re-located to Canada. For over four years, Malene worked with leading Canadian designers honing in on her skills and passion for detailed tailored designs and couture fashion. During this time Malene discovered her true passion for women’s evening wear design and this inspired the inception of the Malene Grotrian Design label. As of late, the rapidly growing label also welcomed Jenna Fortin as marketing director and partner. 

Most recently, Malene Grotrian earned the attention of the fashion elite, earning her a personal invitation to show at exclusive New York Fashion Week where she unveiled her 2010 Spring/Summer Collection. She has just unveiled her fourth ready to wear collection for Fall/Holiday 2010 in April and the world is intently watching Malene Grotrian Designs rise to the world stage of the fashion elite.
