What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.
Alber Elbaz
Image
To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?
Alber Elbaz
Image
I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.

I'd rather be relevant than cool.

I don’t take drugs because if I did I’d love them–I’d be a junkie. And because I’m Jewish, I’d probably be a dealer, too.

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.'
Alber Elbaz
Image
I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.
Alber Elbaz
Image
If I wasn't a designer I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache and I will give you a dress and we both make you feel good.

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

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 always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'
