I am very sensitive to the smells and sensations that are part of perfumes because they remind me of things: moments from the past, people, events.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
Alber Elbaz
Image
A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films a writer just needs to write three great books.

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively. The men's show is being prepared, but we also need to think about accessories, perfumes and other items. In sum, I never stop.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.
Alber Elbaz
Image
All the young people in fashion worship the people who have been around a long time. I think it is about keeping something going through the generations. Take my work: Just because I'm not 20 anymore doesn't mean that people don't appreciate what I do.

I want to know where is that committee in Switzerland that sits to decide what is in and what is out. I don't listen to the formula makers. I think maybe I have a selective hearing disorder.

After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
Image
I like first class, but I don't like first class people - I prefer the people in coach. I like fine restaurants, but prefer the taste of McDonalds. I like to be perfect, but I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction.

Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?

Everybody's talking about the new democratic world and whether high fashion is relevant. But without high there is no low. I don't like to intellectualize. I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.

I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.

I wanted to see people from different age groups, body shapes and personalities wearing Lanvin That is what Lanvin is all about and represents - we dont only do clothes for 20-year-old girls. I love to see mature women wearing Lanvin as well. I love wrinkles, I love grey hair.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.

Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.
