History

Established in 2008.

Malene graduated from Teko Center Denmark. After furthering her design and fine art studies in Italy, Malene re-​located to Canada. For the next 4 years, she worked with leading Canadian designers honing her craft and appreciation for tailored women’s wear that truly embraces and flatters the female form. It was during this time that she discovered the passion for her signature bustier. It soon became a sought-​after item, which lead to the inception of the Malene Grotrian Design label, fulfilling her childhood dream. In December 2008, Malene opened the doors to her atelier boutique in the historic Dominion Building in Gastown, Vancouver. Within her first year of business, Malene was invited to show at New York Fashion Week. Since then, the studio boutique has quickly become Vancouver’s premier boutique shopping experience. A fashion oasis for clients, creating inner confidence and beauty in women by embracing every shape, size & style. All garments are made in Vancouver, BC Canada
