More quotes by 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
Blue Jeans? They should be worn by farm girls milking cows!
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
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
Yves Saint Laurent
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.

[Fashion is] a kind of vitamin for style.
Yves Saint Laurent
I was born with a nervous breakdown.
Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent
My name will be written in fiery letters on the Champs Elysees.
Yves Saint Laurent
Chanel freed women, and I empowered them.
Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
The street and me is a love story. 1971 is a great date because, finally, fashion took to the street.
