What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.

Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after it's just about today
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.

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.

We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.

Image
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.

Image
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.

I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.

Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o'clock at night - it doesn't matter.

If I wasn't a designer I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache and I will give you a dress and we both make you feel good.

The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.

For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.
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.

Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.
