The designers, photographers and models I work with, they are really hard-working people who are devoting their lives to fashion. They're kind of like nuns of fashion.

More quotes by Alber Elbaz
I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.
Alber Elbaz
Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
Alber Elbaz
I was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
Alber Elbaz
My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.
Alber Elbaz
Everybody's talking about the new democratic world and whether high fashion is relevant. But without high there is no low. I don't like to intellectualize. I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
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 created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
Alber Elbaz
In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.
Alber Elbaz
Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
Alber Elbaz
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
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.
Alber Elbaz
Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
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
I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.
Alber Elbaz
How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street it does generate buzz.
Alber Elbaz
Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.
Alber Elbaz
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.
