Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
Yves Saint Laurent

Elegance and beauty have been banished.
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

I'm so secluded. Very alone.

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

I love women. I love all the bright and attractive people and things of this world, the flame and also the moth, the dancer and the dance.

The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Dressing is a way of life. It brings you joy. It can give you freedom and liberation, help you to find yourself and to move without restraint. Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
Decadence attracts me. It suggests a new world, and, for me, society's struggle between life and death is absolutely beautiful.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
My name will be written in fiery letters on the Champs Elysees.
Yves Saint Laurent

Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.

Fashions fade, style is eternal.
