More quotes by Yves Saint Laurent
Elegance is no longer significant clothes have to be fun.
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
I love black because it affirms, designs and styles. A woman in a black dress is a pencil stroke.
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
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
Dressing is a way of life.
Yves Saint Laurent
Finding your own style is not easy, but once found it brings complete happiness. It gives you self-confidence, always.
Yves Saint Laurent
For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.
Yves Saint Laurent
I don't like [to] make a woman ... an abstract concept of the fashion. I don't like [to] say, You must wear that. ... I am not a dictator.
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
I like to watch the way a model moves in my clothes, the way she gives them life, or if they are wrong, stillborn, the way her life rejects them.
Yves Saint Laurent
I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence.
Yves Saint Laurent
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
Yves Saint Laurent
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
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
Decadence attracts me. It suggests a new world, and, for me, society's struggle between life and death is absolutely beautiful.
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'm so secluded. Very alone.
Yves Saint Laurent
I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal.
Yves Saint Laurent
