There is no better designer than nature
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.
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 the grotesque, like most artists.
Alexander McQueen

Life to me is a bit of a (Brothers) Grimm fairy tale.

Image
It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
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.
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.

Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
Alexander McQueen

Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual
Alexander McQueen

My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.

When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. But then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. There's always spontaneity. You've got to allow for that in my shows.

You can get insular with fashion.
Alexander McQueen
Image
There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.
Alexander McQueen
Image
There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.
