Image
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.

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

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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 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
Image
I always say that women are very strong and men are powerful. But beauty gives you both strength and power. I never think of it. It's just one of those natural things. It's the only thing I know how to do.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
