We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
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

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.

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.

To be beautiful, woman enough to have a black sweater, black skirt and walk arm in arm with the man she loves.
