When a woman gets dressed up to go out at night, she wants to give 50% away, and hold the rest back. If you're an open book, there's no allure.

More quotes by 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
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
You've got to know the rules to break them.
Alexander McQueen
The explosion of museum exhibitions is only a mirror image of what has happened to fashion itself this millennium. With the force of technology, instant images and global participation, fashion has developed from being a passion for a few to a fascination - and an entertainment - for everybody.
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. I wanted to show a more poetic side to my work. It was all about... a feeling of sadness, but in a cinematic kind of way. I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
You can only go forward by making mistakes.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
There’s blood beneath every layer of skin.
Alexander McQueen
If you're lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It's not in the world - it's in your head. I think that is amazing.
Alexander McQueen
When I'm dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen
I've had good times I've had bad times.
Alexander McQueen
I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition
Alexander McQueen
Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.
Alexander McQueen
The reason I'm patriotic about Scotland is because I think it's been dealt a really hard hand. It's marketed the world over as . . . haggis . . . bagpipes. But no one ever puts anything back into it.
Alexander McQueen
I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.
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
My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.
Alexander McQueen
I'm 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I'm dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above earth.
Alexander McQueen
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.
