More quotes by Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.
Alber Elbaz
I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
Alber Elbaz
Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
Alber Elbaz
I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.
Alber Elbaz
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.

Alber Elbaz

Alber Elbaz
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
The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.
Alber Elbaz
I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
Alber Elbaz
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
Alber Elbaz
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
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.
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 am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
