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
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.

Image
I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

All I want to do is make people beautiful.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.
Alber Elbaz

Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.
Alber Elbaz
Image
What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Fashion doesn't look good only on models, it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
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
The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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
Image
I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

Image
What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
