I'd rather be relevant than cool.

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.
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.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.

Image
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
