Malene Grotrian Giveaway

, , ,


Malene Grotrian is one of my favourite Vancouver designers. Danish by birth, she studied fashion design in Denmark and Italy before moving to Vancouver. Her remarkable talent, her knowledge of how to make clothes that fit and flatter a woman's figure, and her keen business acumen have taken her to the top of the local fashion scene. Aside from being a fantastic designer, Malene is also one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet.

The last time I ventured into her studio to interview her for an article for Vancouver Fashion eZine, I spotted a shirtdress that I just had to try on. Even before I did up the zipper and all the buttons, I could tell by the way it skimmed over my body that it would be a perfect fit. When I looked in the mirror, I was awed by how it was as though the dress had been custom-made for me. Malene's clothes have a way of making their wearers feel womanly and elegant, and I certainly feel that way when I wear this dress and slip on a pair of pumps.



Now one lucky Solo Lisa reader will get to experience that same feeling of elegance and womanliness for herself. Malene Grotrian is kindly giving away a $200 gift certificate to spend at the studio.

The rules:
  1. This giveaway is open to Lower Mainland residents only.
  2. To enter, leave a comment on this post telling me why you love Malene Grotrian's clothes by Friday, March 4th at 12pm Pacific time.
  3. One winner will be chosen randomly.
  4. The gift certificate expires April 30, 2011.

    Malene dresses for the career woman with her sensible and stylish business clothes. Yet, she also designs outfits for the busy career woman who needs dresses for special events and functions.

    I like how easy-to-wear her collections are and they are so practical!

    I love that the tops and skirts can be mixed and matched to create some very pretty dress looks, and the bright colours are great to add something different to the wardrobe.

    I've never heard of her! Thanks for this fantastic giveaway Lisa. I checked out her site and I really like that her pieces scream versatility and classic sensibility but aren't boring because of her great use of colour and detail. I especially love that she uses so much cobalt blue!

    I love Malene Grotrian because when I walked into her studio to try on some dresses I instantly felt like a princess. Not only do her designs allow anyone to feel elegant, Malene spends quality time with her clients and makes them feel comfortable (even when shopping is something that causes anxiety in many people).

    What can I say about Malene's work/talent? My wife just look amazing wearing Malene's creations: bustier, pants, dress. Malene has the talent to create and design clothing that sublime the women wearing it.
    I just love it :-)

    I am curious what her price range is? I know everyone says $$$, but that is so subjective and could mean anything. I love her styles and don't want to feel embarrassed asking about pricing at her studio. I was interested in jackets or bustiers. Can anyone give me a rough figure to expect?

      Anonymous, the last time I bought something from her studio dresses and bustiers started around $300.
