In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.

I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.

I'd rather be relevant than cool.

I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'

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.

I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o’clock at night, it doesn’t matter. I think it is also important for me to make it pragmatic and practical and wearable. I always say, 'If you can’t eat it, it’s not food, and if you can’t wear it, it’s not fashion, it is something else.'

If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.

Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?

All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?
Alber Elbaz
Image
Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

I want to know where is that committee in Switzerland that sits to decide what is in and what is out. I don't listen to the formula makers. I think maybe I have a selective hearing disorder.

I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.

Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.

We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.

I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.

Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.
