All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.

Alber Elbaz

Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
Alber Elbaz

The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
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

Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
Alber Elbaz

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
I have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister.
Alber Elbaz
Image
What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.

I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.
