Fiji Water & Fresh Magazine, for all of our Guests to enjoy at “A Modern Classic”

Fresh Vancouver Magazine is the Lower Mainland’s only anti-aging, beauty and lifestyle publication. Our focus is the healthy, happy, beautiful woman – inside and out. To some that might mean Botox; to others it could include non-invasive body contouring or tummy tucks; while to others it could involve meditation and healthy eating. On the cover of each issue you will find a prominent woman from our fair city, someone who has influenced us all in her particular way, as a media icon who entertains and informs, a philanthropist who supports our community, a musician, actor or political figure who inspires and teaches. Expert advice, spa getaways, women’s empowerment and more: it’s a fresh new approach to looking and feeling your absolute best at any stage of life. The magazine launched in May 2010 and is published six times per year. Learn more about Fresh here: http://www.freshvancouver.com/

FIJI Water, the world’s finest water, is committed to quality and excellence in our product, people, profitability, and strategic partners. “We are dedicated to communicating the passion and unique properties of our brand to consumers worldwide and continuing to invest in the future while preserving and cherishing the pristine source.”

FIJI Water’s uncontaminated, uncompromised, and untouched water from an artesian spring, bottled at the source in Fiji. By definition, artesian water comes from a source deep within the earth, protected by layers of clay and rock. There is no opening, not even a porthole to the surface. As a result, the water never comes into contact with the air, protecting it from environmental pollutants and other contamination, keeping FIJI Water as pure as its natural artesian source. Of the top ten bottled waters sold in the United States, FIJI Water is the only water originating from an artesian source.

The company is committed to a variety of sustainability practices and is the primary driver of economic development and social welfare in Fiji.  FIJI Water reinvests substantial resources to expand access to clean, safe drinking water and to provide quality education and health care for the people in Fiji. As the first net carbon-negative product in its industry, FIJI Water is reducing carbon emissions across the product’s entire lifecycle and offsetting at least 120% of remaining emissions through a rainforest restoration project in the Fiji Islands. As of December 2009, FIJI Water joined 1% for the Planet, a global alliance of businesses that donate at least 1% of their sales directly to non-profit organizations focused on sustainability.  The company has also embarked on an extensive reforestation program in partnership with Conservation International and the people of Fiji to protect and preserve the Sovi Basin, the largest remaining lowland rainforest in the South Pacific.

Preview Malene’s Spring Line

What’s Been Happening

After her work was noticed by someone who knew the producer for the New York Metropolitan show at Vancouver Fashion Week in March 2009, Malene Grotrian was invited to the Metropolitan show on West 18th street as a part of New York Fashion Week in September 2009. As coined by the Vancouver Sun, Grotrian is the very first Vancouver designer to show in New York during Fashion Week.

She will be showing her spring 2010 line, tailored pieces featuring silks and a neutral, pastel palette. Her signature bustiers will be making an appearance. Grotrian describes her new line as a western, Scandinavian simplicity mixed with a touch of Japanese style. She has been focusing on a softer, more feminine look. Fashion Week runs from September 10th to 18th.

Grotrian is being sponsored by Fluevog Shoes, a company that began by happy chance back at the ripe old age of 1970. John Fluevog has built the business into a multinational corporation, forging a name for himself as a creator of some of the world’s most distinctive shoes. For more information on Fluevog, or to see where you can pick up a pair of his shoes for yourself, visit their website: Fluevog

Malene will be pairing up with Jane Monteiro, a textiles artist and fledgling jewelry designer. Monteiro has been hard at work putting together classic, timeless pieces that will meld with Grotrian’s designs. Like Grotrian, this will be Monteiro’s first experience in New York Fashion Week. You can view her work here: Toranj Kayvon

Sujin Park is a freelance fashion, hair, and make-up stylist based in Vancouver. She will be providing make-up and hair styling for Malene’s models. Park’s work has been featured in various print media in fashion editorials. Each year Park travels around the world to new destinations to soak up the culture and get a different perspective. She incorporates this into her work. Her favorite color is red, and it shows. You can visit her website here: Sujin Styles

Malene will be holding another show back home in Vancouver on September 24th at Canvas Lounge, so if you can’t make it to her show in New York, be sure not to miss this one! Fluevog Shoes also sponsors.
