More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent

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

Yves Saint Laurent
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
Yves Saint Laurent

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
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

Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent
[Fashion is] a kind of vitamin for style.
Yves Saint Laurent
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
Yves Saint Laurent
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
Yves Saint Laurent
I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
Yves Saint Laurent
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion is defined by what later becomes out of fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
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
