Quote

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.

Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
Alber Elbaz
Image
There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.
Alber Elbaz

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

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.

If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.

At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.

What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.
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 love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
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.
Alber Elbaz
Image
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.

When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
Image
Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.

I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.
