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 problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.

In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.

What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.

When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.

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
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.

I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.

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

Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?

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.

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.

I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
