Spring Fashion with Malene Grotrian ~ What’s Your Style?

Malene Grotrian 1I recently had the opportunity to visit local designer Malene Grotrian and her Brand Ambassador, Donna Pepin in Malene’s Gastown boutique.  I was excited as I travelled up to the ninth floor in their heritage building on West Hastings that didn’t disappoint.

As soon as I stepped into Malene’s boutique, I began to feel what I had suspected when I heard Malene speak earlier this year – welcome, special and comfortable.  We chatted for a few minutes about where we have each come from, what has lead us to this point and why we do what we do.  As I suspected, Malene’s authenticity and talent stretches much further than her fashion design, and I can’t wait to see some of her visual art.

What touched me most about this local fashion designer and entrepreneur is her honesty about creating the life that she truly wants to experience and honouring that choice with her daily practice of what she needs to do to sustain and strengthen her creativity and grounded focus.  She deeply cares about her clients, and it shows through and through.  Her business is built on relationships that are firmly planted in personal attention, a customized focus and a deeply caring attitude.

As an entrepreneur, she is successfully active in a local BNI Chapter and believes that our businesses grow as we support each other.  We agree Malene!  That’s what PowHERhouse is all about as an educational and economic driver for women with a keen focus on Leadership + Lifestyle Management.  Thank you for our interview and visit.  It was such a pleasure.  We’ll be back ~ again and again!
