I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.

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.

I am very much a people person.

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.

I wanted to see people from different age groups, body shapes and personalities wearing Lanvin That is what Lanvin is all about and represents - we dont only do clothes for 20-year-old girls. I love to see mature women wearing Lanvin as well. I love wrinkles, I love grey hair.

A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.
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.

I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.
Alber Elbaz
Image
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.

Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now

Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.

I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.

Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.
