Quote

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 am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'
Alber Elbaz

The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

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
A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films a writer just needs to write three great books.

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.

All the young people in fashion worship the people who have been around a long time. I think it is about keeping something going through the generations. Take my work: Just because I'm not 20 anymore doesn't mean that people don't appreciate what I do.

When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

I wanted to see people from different age groups, body shapes and personalities wearing Lanvin That is what Lanvin is all about and represents - we dont only do clothes for 20-year-old girls. I love to see mature women wearing Lanvin as well. I love wrinkles, I love grey hair.
