More quotes by 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
I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.
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
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.
Alexander McQueen
You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.
Alexander McQueen
It's not my vision when I cover a woman's face with a chador. I got the idea from a 'National Geographic' photo. I'm just showing their plight in the world.
Alexander McQueen
People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.
Alexander McQueen
I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.
Alexander McQueen
When you see a woman wearing McQueen, there’s a certain hardness to the clothes that makes her look powerful. It kind of fends people off.
Alexander McQueen
I hate it when people romanticize Scotland.
Alexander McQueen
Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!
Alexander McQueen
People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.
Alexander McQueen
I believe in that one-on-one sell. I don't really believe in flooding the market with loads of goods that don't mean much, and you lose your identity.
Alexander McQueen
British fashion is self confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.
Alexander McQueen
There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company. (But) I always remember that it's the fantasy, the artistic side, that makes customers want to buy the straightforward black pants.
Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.
Alexander McQueen
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
Alexander McQueen
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
