All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
Image
There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'
Alber Elbaz

Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.

I wanted to see people from different age groups, body shapes and personalities wearing Lanvin That is what Lanvin is all about and represents - we dont only do clothes for 20-year-old girls. I love to see mature women wearing Lanvin as well. I love wrinkles, I love grey hair.

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.

Fashion doesn't look good only on models, it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.

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.

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz

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

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.

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

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.

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
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.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?

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

Image
I am very sensitive to the smells and sensations that are part of perfumes because they remind me of things: moments from the past, people, events.

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