More quotes by Alber Elbaz
The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.
Alber Elbaz
With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.
Alber Elbaz
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
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
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 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.
Alber Elbaz
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
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.
Alber Elbaz
Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o'clock at night - it doesn't matter.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.
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 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
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.
Alber Elbaz
I am very much a people person.
Alber Elbaz
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
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
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
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.
Alber Elbaz
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
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.
