I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.

Image
I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o'clock at night - it doesn't matter.

Image
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?
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
Image
What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.

The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.

I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
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
Image
I am very much a people person.
Alber Elbaz
Image
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
Alber Elbaz
Image
The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.

Image
When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.

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

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.
