I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
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.

In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.

The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.

I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.

I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o’clock at night, it doesn’t matter. I think it is also important for me to make it pragmatic and practical and wearable. I always say, 'If you can’t eat it, it’s not food, and if you can’t wear it, it’s not fashion, it is something else.'

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.

After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

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

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

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.

Image
What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.

Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories

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.

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.

Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
