More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
I don't really like knees.
Yves Saint Laurent
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
Yves Saint Laurent
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.
Yves Saint Laurent
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
Yves Saint Laurent
[Fashion is] a kind of vitamin for style.
Yves Saint Laurent
For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.
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
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
Yves Saint Laurent
I was born with a nervous breakdown.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
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
Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.
Yves Saint Laurent
I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
Yves Saint Laurent
I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous.
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
Elegance and beauty have been banished.
Yves Saint Laurent
I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
