I participated in the transformation of my era. I did it with clothes, which is surely less important than music, architecture, painting but whatever it's worth I did it.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
The street and me is a love story. 1971 is a great date because, finally, fashion took to the street.

Fashions fade, style is eternal.

Dressing is a way of life.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
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
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

I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous.

Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.

Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal.

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.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashions pass quickly, and nothing is more pathetic than those puppets of fashion outrageously made up one day, pale the next, pleated or ironed stiff, libertine or ascetic. Playing with fashion is an art. The first rule is don't burn your wings.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I couldn't love a woman who inspired me to be totally disinterested. If I fell in love with a woman for an artistic reason, or from the point of view of my work, I think it would rob her of something.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I don't really like knees.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
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
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.
