More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent
Elegance is no longer significant clothes have to be fun.
Yves Saint Laurent
I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy.
Yves Saint Laurent
Haute couture consists of secrets whispered from generation to generation, If, in ready-to-wear, a garment is manufactured according to standard sizes, the haute couture garment adapts to any imperfection in order to eliminate it.
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
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
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
Yves Saint Laurent
I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
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
The street and me is a love story. 1971 is a great date because, finally, fashion took to the street.
Yves Saint Laurent
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
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
Fashions fade, style is eternal.
Yves Saint Laurent
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
Yves Saint Laurent
I don't really like knees.
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
Elegance and beauty have been banished.
Yves Saint Laurent
I participated in the transformation of my era. I did it with clothes, which is surely less important than music, architecture, painting but whatever it's worth I did it.
Yves Saint Laurent
