More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent

Image
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I find men's clothing fascinating because sometime between, say, 1930 and 1936 a handful of basic shapes were created and still prevail as a sort of scale of expression, with which every man can project his own personality and his own dignity.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm so secluded. Very alone.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Each model I have represents a type of ideal women to me.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
No more rules, the freedom of dressing. The beauty of mixing vintage clothes with a pair of jeans that I love.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn't learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
What is wonderful about my art is that dream and reality can become one. There is just one step between the two.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Dressing is a way of life.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.
