More quotes by Alber Elbaz
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
Alber Elbaz
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
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 was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
Alber Elbaz
If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.
Alber Elbaz
I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
Alber Elbaz
I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
Alber Elbaz
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
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
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 am very sensitive to the smells and sensations that are part of perfumes because they remind me of things: moments from the past, people, events.
Alber Elbaz
To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
Alber Elbaz
I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.
Alber Elbaz
In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.
Alber Elbaz
I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
Alber Elbaz
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
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?
Alber Elbaz
I don’t take drugs because if I did I’d love them–I’d be a junkie. And because I’m Jewish, I’d probably be a dealer, too.
