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.

For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.

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

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.

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.

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.

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

Image
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.
