The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
Alber Elbaz
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
In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.
Alber Elbaz
When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.
