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.

I'm not big on women looking naive.
Alexander McQueen

London's where I was brought up. It's where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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.

Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I believe in that one-on-one sell. I don't really believe in flooding the market with loads of goods that don't mean much, and you lose your identity.
Alexander McQueen

These beautiful models were walking around in the room, and then suddenly this woman who wouldn’t be considered beautiful was revealed. It was about trying to trap something that wasn’t conventionally beautiful to show that beauty comes from within.

I have been skiing since I was in school, but I'm not great. I am never going to break an Olympic record, I just want to go down the hills, on red or blue runs, but not... black.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.

Image
Fame should be left to the film stars.
Alexander McQueen
Image
There are only a handful of designers that influence other designers, and I have to keep one step ahead of the game.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen
Image
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
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.

Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way.

There is no better designer than nature
