More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
Yves Saint Laurent
Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
I couldn't love a woman who inspired me to be totally disinterested. If I fell in love with a woman for an artistic reason, or from the point of view of my work, I think it would rob her of something.
Yves Saint Laurent
I was born with a nervous breakdown.
Yves Saint Laurent
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
Yves Saint Laurent
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
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
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion.
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
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
Yves Saint Laurent
Each model I have represents a type of ideal women to me.
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
Finding your own style is not easy, but once found it brings complete happiness. It gives you self-confidence, always.
Yves Saint Laurent
I love black because it affirms, designs and styles. A woman in a black dress is a pencil stroke.
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
A woman's wardrobe shouldn't change every six months. You should be able to use the pieces you already own and add to them. Because they are like timeless classics.
Yves Saint Laurent
My name will be written in fiery letters on the Champs Elysees.
Yves Saint Laurent
For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.
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
