I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.
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 very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
Alber Elbaz
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.
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
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
Alber Elbaz
I was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
Alber Elbaz
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.
