More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
The reason I'm patriotic about Scotland is because I think it's been dealt a really hard hand. It's marketed the world over as . . . haggis . . . bagpipes. But no one ever puts anything back into it.
Alexander McQueen
I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.
Alexander McQueen
The police need to come down to street level.
Alexander McQueen
When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. But then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. There's always spontaneity. You've got to allow for that in my shows.
Alexander McQueen
If you're an open book, there's no allure.
Alexander McQueen
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.
Alexander McQueen
There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.
Alexander McQueen
I want to empower women.
Alexander McQueen
There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.
Alexander McQueen
I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.
Alexander McQueen
It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle - everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.
Alexander McQueen
Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!
Alexander McQueen
What I do is look at ancient African tribes, and the way they dress. The rituals of how they dress. . . . There's a lot of tribalism in the collections.
Alexander McQueen
It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
Alexander McQueen
I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.
Alexander McQueen
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer then nature
