More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
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
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
I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.
Alexander McQueen
I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
Alexander McQueen
I'm about what goes through people's minds. The stuff that people don't want to admit or face up to. The shows are about what's buried in people's psyches.
Alexander McQueen
People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer than nature
Alexander McQueen
I have been skiing since I was in school, but I'm not great. I am never going to break an Olympic record, I just want to go down the hills, on red or blue runs, but not... black.
Alexander McQueen
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
Alexander McQueen
You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don't need to do that any more.
Alexander McQueen
I want to empower women.
Alexander McQueen
I think sometimes I might scare the editors, because they might feel they're getting old and they're not understanding it. The problem lies on their side of the fence, not mine. I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era.
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
