More quotes by Alber Elbaz
The nature of fashion is family. You see that at almost every house, it was owned first by a family. It wasn't owned by a bank.
Alber Elbaz
The designers, photographers and models I work with, they are really hard-working people who are devoting their lives to fashion. They're kind of like nuns of fashion.
Alber Elbaz
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
The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories
Alber Elbaz
Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.
Alber Elbaz
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
Alber Elbaz
I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.
Alber Elbaz
My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.
Alber Elbaz
Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.
Alber Elbaz
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
Alber Elbaz
I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.
Alber Elbaz
Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.
Alber Elbaz
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.'
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
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.
