What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

Image
At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.

Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.

I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.

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.

Image
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
Image
I'm not a plastic surgeon, and I cannot change the DNA of a person, but when I see a woman try on my clothes and she feels beautiful, I know I am doing my job.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
Image
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.

Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
Alber Elbaz

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
Alber Elbaz
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.

I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.
