PORTFOLIO.YVR Business & Entrepreneurs Magazine

Something exciting is coming…⁠
⁠
With Web Summit on the horizon, we have just walked through the space that will soon become the backdrop for an unforgettable night. Tucked away downtown, this striking venue will host a curated crowd of the bold, the brilliant, and the unexpected.⁠
⁠
Portfolio.YVR has been invited to take part—and we are bringing something sharp. Think fast. 'Fast Five' details dropping soon.⁠
⁠
Click the link below to catch-up on the 60 profiles that we have published since launching! ⁠
⁠

OU MA ☆ OUMA BRIDAL⁠
⁠
Ou Ma is the founder of OUMA, a celebrated couture bridal fashion brand known for its sophisticated, avant-garde designs that challenge the traditional expectations of wedding wear. ⁠
⁠
"Every gown is thoughtfully designed in Vancouver with sustainability in mind, offering a balance of contemporary romance and timeless wearability. Unlike mass-market bridal brands, OUMA is personal. Each dress is made to order, ensuring a unique connection between the bride and her gown."⁠
⁠
Learn more about Ou Ma and her process in our new story!⁠

ANASTASIA BESIOU ☆ THE SARTORIAL SHOP⁠
⁠
In the world of fashion, Anastasia Besiou, co-founder and Co-Creative Director at The Sartorial Shop, works side-by-side with her partner Zahir Rajani, to meet the growing demand for high-quality, affordable suiting for both men and women. ⁠
⁠
“Being part Greek, Kenyan, Indian, and now Canadian, I have a very mixed cultural background. As such, I believe that I have a different view on fashion and style, and so I try to incorporate all of that into what we produce and showcase seasonally."⁠
⁠
Learn more about Anastasia and her journey in our new story here!⁠

JORDAN BRANDON ☆ J.D. BRANDON⁠
⁠
Originally trained as a pharmacist, Jordan’s path took a turn in January 2020, when he discovered leatherworking through videos of artisans crafting beautiful pieces. What began as a curiosity quickly became an obsession when he realized that sewing leather by hand gave him the same sense of fulfillment he had growing up.⁠
⁠
“I have not had a formal mentor, but I have learned a lot by studying the work of others, breaking down what makes great design, great branding, and great craftsmanship. I have spent countless hours analyzing how the best in the industry started, built their legacies, and turned their work into something bigger than just a product." ⁠
