I always say that women are very strong and men are powerful. But beauty gives you both strength and power. I never think of it. It's just one of those natural things. It's the only thing I know how to do.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
Image
The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
All I want to do is make people beautiful.

Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.

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

Image
For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.

Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
Image
When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.
Alber Elbaz
Image
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
Image
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?
Alber Elbaz
Image
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
