There’s blood beneath every layer of skin.

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.

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
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.
