Image
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
Image
I am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Some designers are so airy-fairy people can't connect with them. I hope people can relate to me, to a normal person who just happens to be a fashion designer, that people can take me as they find me. It's not the designer's job to care about what people think. Whatever else I've done, I've never tried to be something that I'm not.

There is no better designer than nature

Image
Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
Alexander McQueen
Image
There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
I used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.
Alexander McQueen
Image
It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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.
