More quotes by 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
The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven't had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.
Yves Saint Laurent
I was born with a nervous breakdown.
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
I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.
Yves Saint Laurent
I don't like [to] make a woman ... an abstract concept of the fashion. I don't like [to] say, You must wear that. ... I am not a dictator.
Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent
I don't really like knees.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
Yves Saint Laurent
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
My name will be written in fiery letters on the Champs Elysees.
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.
Yves Saint Laurent
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
Yves Saint Laurent
Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
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
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
Yves Saint Laurent
I like to watch the way a model moves in my clothes, the way she gives them life, or if they are wrong, stillborn, the way her life rejects them.
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
