More quotes by 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
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
Blue Jeans? They should be worn by farm girls milking cows!
Yves Saint Laurent
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
For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.
Yves Saint Laurent
The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
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
A good model can advance fashion by ten years.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
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
I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.
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
Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.
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
Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.
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
Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.
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 don't really like knees.
Yves Saint Laurent
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
