The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.
Alber ElbazWhen I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.
Alber ElbazI don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.
Alber ElbazI like the dream, like fantasy dresses. Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 oโclock at night, it doesnโt matter. I think it is also important for me to make it pragmatic and practical and wearable. I always say, 'If you canโt eat it, itโs not food, and if you canโt wear it, itโs not fashion, it is something else.'
