More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
I want to be honest about the world that we live in, and sometimes my political persuasions come through in my work. Fashion can be really racist, looking at the clothes of other cultures as costumes. . . . That’s mundane and it’s old hat. Let’s break down some barriers.

Alexander McQueen
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
Alexander McQueen
I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.
Alexander McQueen
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
Alexander McQueen
London's where I was brought up. It's where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.
Alexander McQueen
As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do.
Alexander McQueen
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
