Quote

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.

Image
I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I love black because it affirms, designs and styles. A woman in a black dress is a pencil stroke.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
No more rules, the freedom of dressing. The beauty of mixing vintage clothes with a pair of jeans that I love.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashions fade, style is eternal.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.
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.

Blue Jeans? They should be worn by farm girls milking cows!
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
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
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 adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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.

Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Each model I have represents a type of ideal women to me.

[Fashion is] a kind of vitamin for style.
