More quotes by 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
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
In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.
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
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 say that women are very strong and men are powerful. But beauty gives you both strength and power. I never think of it. It's just one of those natural things. It's the only thing I know how to do.
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
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.
Alber Elbaz
Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.
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
I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.
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
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
All I want to do is make people beautiful.
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
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
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
Alber Elbaz
Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
