More quotes by Alber Elbaz
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
If I were a buyer today in one of the American department stores, I would go with extremes-the most beautiful, the more expensive, the more eccentric. I would take risks. The worst thing would be to buy only the little black dress. You know why? Because everyone has it already. I would go with a purple dress, something different
Alber Elbaz
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories
Alber Elbaz
My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.
Alber Elbaz
I'm not a plastic surgeon, and I cannot change the DNA of a person, but when I see a woman try on my clothes and she feels beautiful, I know I am doing my job.
Alber Elbaz
I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.
Alber Elbaz
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
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
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
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
Alber Elbaz
The nature of fashion is family. You see that at almost every house, it was owned first by a family. It wasn't owned by a bank.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
Alber Elbaz
Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
Alber Elbaz
I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion doesn't look good only on models, it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.
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
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
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz
Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?
Alber Elbaz
