When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
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
Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
Image
The nature of fashion is family. You see that at almost every house, it was owned first by a family. It wasn't owned by a bank.

Image
I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
Alber Elbaz

Image
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.

Alber Elbaz
Image
I'd rather be relevant than cool.
Alber Elbaz
Image
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street it does generate buzz.
Alber Elbaz
Image
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?
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.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.

Image
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.
