I'm not a plastic surgeon, and I cannot change the DNA of a person, but when I see a woman try on my clothes and she feels beautiful, I know I am doing my job.

I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.

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.

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 spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.

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.

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 have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister.

Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.

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

Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

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

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 am very much a people person.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.
Alber Elbaz
Image
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.
