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?

More quotes by Alber Elbaz
I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
Alber Elbaz
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
Alber Elbaz
The designers, photographers and models I work with, they are really hard-working people who are devoting their lives to fashion. They're kind of like nuns of 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
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
Alber Elbaz
In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.
Alber Elbaz
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
Alber Elbaz
I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.
Alber Elbaz
I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.
Alber Elbaz
There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.
Alber Elbaz
If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.
