More quotes by Alber Elbaz
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.
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 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
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
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
I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
Alber Elbaz
What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.
Alber Elbaz
I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
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
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.
Alber Elbaz
I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.
Alber Elbaz
I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.
Alber Elbaz
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
Alber Elbaz
I was a fat child I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
Alber Elbaz
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
Alber Elbaz
If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.
Alber Elbaz
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.
Alber Elbaz
How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street it does generate buzz.
