Image
I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
No more rules, the freedom of dressing. The beauty of mixing vintage clothes with a pair of jeans that I love.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
The street and me is a love story. 1971 is a great date because, finally, fashion took to the street.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I love black because it affirms, designs and styles. A woman in a black dress is a pencil stroke.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Le plus beau vêtement qui puisse habiller une femme, ce sont les bras de l'homme qu'elle aime. Mais, pour celles qui n'ont pas eu la chance de trouver ce bonheur, je suis là.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I pass for a hypersensitive, reclusive neurotic, which I may well be, but I hope the year won't come when my anxieties and fatigue will destroy my love of this life, of all the things that inspire me--a line of music, a face in a Vermeer portrait, a character in an opera, or a model born in Harlem.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I love women. I love all the bright and attractive people and things of this world, the flame and also the moth, the dancer and the dance.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I cannot pretend to do sculpture and make a woman the ridiculous pedestal of my pretensions. To render clothing poetic, yes--but one must preserve its dignity as clothing.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Elegance and beauty have been banished.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Finding your own style is not easy, but once found it brings complete happiness. It gives you self-confidence, always.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashion is defined by what later becomes out of fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
To be beautiful, woman enough to have a black sweater, black skirt and walk arm in arm with the man she loves.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Blue Jeans? They should be worn by farm girls milking cows!
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I find men's clothing fascinating because sometime between, say, 1930 and 1936 a handful of basic shapes were created and still prevail as a sort of scale of expression, with which every man can project his own personality and his own dignity.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Dressing is a way of life. It brings you joy. It can give you freedom and liberation, help you to find yourself and to move without restraint. Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
For a woman, le smoking is an indispensable garment with which she finds herself continually in fashion, because it is about style, not fashion. Fashions come and go, but style is forever.
