More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent
Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent
I'd really like to be in closer contact with life. I'm a little too distant, I guess. I like to place myself outside.
Yves Saint Laurent
I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
Yves Saint Laurent
I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence.
Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal.
Yves Saint Laurent
The street and me is a love story. 1971 is a great date because, finally, fashion took to the street.
Yves Saint Laurent
I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.
Yves Saint Laurent
