More quotes by Alexander McQueen
Fame should be left to the film stars.
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 oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.
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
I was literally 3 years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life, through primary school, secondary school, all my life. I always, always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of twelve. I followed designer's careers. I knew Giorgio Armani was a window-dresser, Emanuel Ungaro was a tailor.

Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
I hate it when people romanticize Scotland.
Alexander McQueen
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
Alexander McQueen
I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer then nature
Alexander McQueen
Fashion is self confident and fearless.
Alexander McQueen
I think there is beauty in everything.
