I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
Alber Elbaz

We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
Alber Elbaz
Image
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.
Alber Elbaz

After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

I barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively. The men's show is being prepared, but we also need to think about accessories, perfumes and other items. In sum, I never stop.

Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.

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.

I was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don’t take drugs because if I did I’d love them–I’d be a junkie. And because I’m Jewish, I’d probably be a dealer, too.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
Alber Elbaz
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.

Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?
