I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
Yves Saint Laurent

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

[Fashion is] a kind of vitamin for style.
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
Image
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
Image
I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I was born with a nervous breakdown.
Yves Saint Laurent

Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.

Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
