More quotes by Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
I want to empower women.
Alexander McQueen
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
