Bi.polar Couture - Fashion Design Duo

Lili & Francine Lavack, twins founded bi.polar couture in early 2011. Their
common vision stems from their sisterly collaboration, combined in unexpected ways
with their contrasting styles, to create Lili’s and Francine’s 2 unique BI.POLAR
COUTURE lines.

Francine’s Paradox

Haute Couture Fashion Designer, Francine Lavack’s interest in fashion started at an early age, with many fashion sketches and chalk drawings on side walks outside her French Saint Boniface home. Francine started designer clothing for herself and her twin sister Lili at the age of 10, letting Lili do most of the sewing. The fashion designing aspect was what most interested Francine as Haute Couture Collections fascinated her. During high school Francine assist design a avantgarde mini fashion collection to showcase at the high school fashion show. Since then, she has participated in several fashion shows, more notably, the Fashion Affaire and Richard Robinsons Grande Premier in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Francine Lavack studied along the side of Richard Robinson at the Fashion Academy, graduating in both Fashion design and Haute couture. Her collections presented to Richard Robinson have always been styled keeping the best quality as priority. While Francine was attending her post secondary education, she worked at Ca Va de Soi and is currently boutique manager.

Together Francine and her twin sister Lili Lavack founded bi.polar couture in spring 2011. It has always been Francine’s dream to construct garments of haute couture quality under the same label as her twin sister. Together, Francine and Lili work to gain exposure and offer garments of high quality and design offering a collection for spring/summer & fall/winter for bi.polar couture.

Lili’s Paradox

Fashion designer and Textile expert Lili Lavack was first interested in fashion and the creation of a garment when she experimented with her Mother and Aunts’ textiles and homemade garments. She was always determined to find the perfect textile for a self-designed outfit. At a young age, with her twin Francine, they started designing and creating garments. During her first year at a private Fashion Design Academy Lili was introduced to silk painting. And since then she has created garments with her silk paintings. In the present time she is studying and working towards her 4th year degree in science of textile degree at the University of Manitoba.

 Along side with Francine she has created many collections which have been showcased in a variety of fashion shows from 2007 to the present time. Lili is now Co-President of the Winnipeg Fashion Incubator and a very proud representative of Winnipeg fashion with the medias such as the French local newspaper La Liberté, Radio-Canada television & radio, Breakfast Television, and many other local medias. With the WFI team she organizes different fashion events to support local designers.

 Lili and her twin sister Francine founded bi.polar couture in the early 2011. Lili brings a more extravagant flare to the company image with the use of many patterned fabrics, bright colours and elaborate trims. Always using good quality fabrics in very different ways, she creates the sister line that is absolutely unique under the bi.polar couture label every fashion season.
