More quotes by Alber Elbaz
Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.
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
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
I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
Alber Elbaz
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
Alber Elbaz
If I were a buyer today in one of the American department stores, I would go with extremes-the most beautiful, the more expensive, the more eccentric. I would take risks. The worst thing would be to buy only the little black dress. You know why? Because everyone has it already. I would go with a purple dress, something different
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'
Alber Elbaz
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
Alber Elbaz
It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.
Alber Elbaz
I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.
Alber Elbaz
I was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
Alber Elbaz
I'd rather be relevant than cool.
Alber Elbaz
I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.
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
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
