Quote

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.

Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively. The men's show is being prepared, but we also need to think about accessories, perfumes and other items. In sum, I never stop.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.

Image
Fashion doesn't look good only on models, it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.

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

Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.

Image
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
Image
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
Image
A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
Alber Elbaz
Image
What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'
Alber Elbaz
Image
For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
Image
I don’t take drugs because if I did I’d love them–I’d be a junkie. And because I’m Jewish, I’d probably be a dealer, too.
Alber Elbaz
Image
If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
