There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.
Alber Elbaz
Image
It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.
Alber Elbaz
Image
When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
Alber Elbaz
Image
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
Alber Elbaz
Image
With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.
Alber Elbaz
Image
At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.

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.

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.

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
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o'clock at night - it doesn't matter.
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
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
Image
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 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.

I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.
