Image
I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition
Alexander McQueen
Image
If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
Alexander McQueen
Image
The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
Alexander McQueen
Image
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.
Alexander McQueen
Image
For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Of course I make mistakes. I'm human. If I didn't make mistakes, I'd never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
Image
It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
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
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
Alexander McQueen
Image
There is no better designer then nature
Alexander McQueen
Image
I was literally 3 years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life, through primary school, secondary school, all my life. I always, always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of twelve. I followed designer's careers. I knew Giorgio Armani was a window-dresser, Emanuel Ungaro was a tailor.

It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
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.

I'm the pink sheep in the family.

What I do is look at ancient African tribes, and the way they dress. The rituals of how they dress. . . . There's a lot of tribalism in the collections.
