More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
Yves Saint Laurent
I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.
Yves Saint Laurent
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
Yves Saint Laurent
Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
Yves Saint Laurent
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
Yves Saint Laurent
I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
Yves Saint Laurent
I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
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
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
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
A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn't learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish.
Yves Saint Laurent
Dressing is a way of life.
Yves Saint Laurent
What is wonderful about my art is that dream and reality can become one. There is just one step between the two.
Yves Saint Laurent
A good model can advance fashion by ten years.
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
Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
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
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
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.
