This is exactly why I love him and why women love his clothes

Elbaz on the flat sandals at his Spring Summer 2011 show : "we did the rehersal and all of a sudden I saw the girls couldn't walk. I saw the agony in their faces. They were shaking; they looked like alcoholic girls. Only 10 or 12 (of the models) said they could walk in heels. But the ones that couldn't, like, 37 of them. I got very emotional - not that i got mad at them - but I got very emotional that they didn't complain. You know what? Damnit with image. You can be stubborn and go after an image, but I'm not an image-maker; I'm a dress-maker. If you don't feel good in something, you don't look good with it." -Alber Elbaz quoted from WWD
