More quotes by Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.
Alber Elbaz
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
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
For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.
Alber Elbaz
In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.
Alber Elbaz
I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I like first class, but I don't like first class people - I prefer the people in coach. I like fine restaurants, but prefer the taste of McDonalds. I like to be perfect, but I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
Alber Elbaz
I am very much a people person.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?
Alber Elbaz
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.
