Image
Elegance is no longer significant clothes have to be fun.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
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 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
Image
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
Image
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 prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
Image
When you feel good in a clothing anything can happen. A good clothing is a passport for happiness.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
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
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
I'm so secluded. Very alone.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Elegance and beauty have been banished.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
[Fashion is] a kind of vitamin for style.
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
Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven't had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.
