Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.
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.

Image
Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after it's just about today
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.

Image
Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

Image
Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.
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.
Alber Elbaz
Image
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
Image
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.
