More quotes by Alber Elbaz
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
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 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
I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.

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
I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.
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 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.
Alber Elbaz
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories
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
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
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 love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
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
The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.
Alber Elbaz
My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.
Alber Elbaz
I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.
Alber Elbaz
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.
Alber Elbaz
I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
