I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

Fashion doesn't look good only on models, it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Everybody's talking about the new democratic world and whether high fashion is relevant. But without high there is no low. I don't like to intellectualize. I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

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.

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.

Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
Image
With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.
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

Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after it's just about today

Image
I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.
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
I have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister.

I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.

Image
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 like having the freedom to dress as I desire.

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.
