More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent
[Fashion is] a kind of vitamin for style.
Yves Saint Laurent
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

Yves Saint Laurent
I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.

Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
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
Elegance is no longer significant clothes have to be fun.
Yves Saint Laurent
