Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
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
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.

Image
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
Image
All the young people in fashion worship the people who have been around a long time. I think it is about keeping something going through the generations. Take my work: Just because I'm not 20 anymore doesn't mean that people don't appreciate what I do.

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
Image
With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
Alber Elbaz
Image
What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
Image
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
Image
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
