Moda je prolazna, dok stil traje, on je večan.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Elegance is no longer significant clothes have to be fun.
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
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
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 prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Elegance and beauty have been banished.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashions pass quickly, and nothing is more pathetic than those puppets of fashion outrageously made up one day, pale the next, pleated or ironed stiff, libertine or ascetic. Playing with fashion is an art. The first rule is don't burn your wings.
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.

Image
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion and if I hadn't shown them I would never have arrived at this point in fashion, you see.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
To be beautiful, woman enough to have a black sweater, black skirt and walk arm in arm with the man she loves.
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
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
Image
Dressing is a way of life.
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
Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
