Image
Finding your own style is not easy, but once found it brings complete happiness. It gives you self-confidence, always.
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
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

Blue Jeans? They should be worn by farm girls milking cows!
Yves Saint Laurent

I love black because it affirms, designs and styles. A woman in a black dress is a pencil stroke.
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
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
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
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
Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
A good model can advance fashion by ten years.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
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.
