More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I am a melancholy type of person.
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

Alexander McQueen
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.
Alexander McQueen
It's good to know where you come from. It makes you what you are today. It's DNA, it's in your blood.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world.

Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen
Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
Alexander McQueen
Let me not forget the use of my own hands, that of a craftsman with eyes... that reflect the technology around me.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer than nature
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
You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don't need to do that any more.
Alexander McQueen
I'm the pink sheep in the family.
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
I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
