More quotes by Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
Alexander McQueen
There is a hidden agenda in the fragility of romance.
Alexander McQueen
