More quotes by Alber Elbaz
I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I like first class, but I don't like first class people - I prefer the people in coach. I like fine restaurants, but prefer the taste of McDonalds. I like to be perfect, but I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction.
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 always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.
Alber Elbaz
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street it does generate buzz.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after it's just about today
Alber Elbaz
I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.
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 always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'
Alber Elbaz
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
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
The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.
Alber Elbaz
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.
Alber Elbaz
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
Alber Elbaz
