What is wonderful about my art is that dream and reality can become one. There is just one step between the two.

More quotes by 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
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
To be beautiful, woman enough to have a black sweater, black skirt and walk arm in arm with the man she loves.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I find men's clothing fascinating because sometime between, say, 1930 and 1936 a handful of basic shapes were created and still prevail as a sort of scale of expression, with which every man can project his own personality and his own dignity.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Finding your own style is not easy, but once found it brings complete happiness. It gives you self-confidence, always.
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'm so secluded. Very alone.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Fashion is defined by what later becomes out of fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
Seeing Cubism paintings at the Beaubourg makes me very happy and also old films.
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
There are women who have completely transformed my view of fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent
Image
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
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
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
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.
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 love women. I love all the bright and attractive people and things of this world, the flame and also the moth, the dancer and the dance.
Yves Saint Laurent

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.
