More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I hate it when people romanticize Scotland.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer then nature
Alexander McQueen
Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.
Alexander McQueen
I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.

I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
Alexander McQueen
I think there is beauty in everything.
Alexander McQueen
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste.
Alexander McQueen
I came to terms with not fitting in a long time ago. I never really fitted in. I don't want to fit in. And now people are buying into that.
Alexander McQueen
Women should look like women. A piece of cardboard has no sexuality.
Alexander McQueen
British fashion is self confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.
Alexander McQueen
You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.
Alexander McQueen
