I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
If I wasn't a designer I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache and I will give you a dress and we both make you feel good.

I am very much a people person.

What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.

Image
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.

I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.

For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.

Image
With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.

Image
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

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

I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
