Image
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal.
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

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
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
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.
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
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion and if I hadn't shown them I would never have arrived at this point in fashion, you see.
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
I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Blue Jeans? They should be worn by farm girls milking cows!
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
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 tried to show that fashion is an art. For that, I followed the counsel of my master Christian Dior and the imperishable lesson of Mademoiselle Chanel. I created for my era and I tried to foresee what tomorrow would be.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
A woman's wardrobe shouldn't change every six months. You should be able to use the pieces you already own and add to them. Because they are like timeless classics.
