More quotes by Alber Elbaz
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
Alber Elbaz
I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.
Alber Elbaz
I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
Alber Elbaz
I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.
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 want to know where is that committee in Switzerland that sits to decide what is in and what is out. I don't listen to the formula makers. I think maybe I have a selective hearing disorder.
Alber Elbaz
Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.
Alber Elbaz
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
Alber Elbaz
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
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
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
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
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'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
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
When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.
Alber Elbaz
Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o'clock at night - it doesn't matter.
Alber Elbaz
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
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.
