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.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

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'd rather be relevant than cool.

All I want to do is make people beautiful.

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.

Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.

Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?
Alber Elbaz
Image
I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.

I was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

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

I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.

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
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.

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.
