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.

More quotes by 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
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion.
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
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
Dressing is a way of life. It brings you joy. It can give you freedom and liberation, help you to find yourself and to move without restraint. Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
When you feel good in a clothing anything can happen. A good clothing is a passport for happiness.
Yves Saint Laurent
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.
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
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
Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?
Yves Saint Laurent
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
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
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
Yves Saint Laurent
Dressing is a way of life.
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
Moda je prolazna, dok stil traje, on je večan.
Yves Saint Laurent
