Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
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
Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual
Alexander McQueen
Image
Fashion is self confident and fearless.

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.

Image
Birds in flight fascinate me. I admire eagles and falcons. I’m inspired by a feather but also its color, its graphics, its weightlessness and its engineering. It’s so elaborate. In fact I try and transpose the beauty of a bird to women.

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.

It's almost like putting armor on a woman. It's a very psychological way of dressing.
Alexander McQueen

As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do.

There is no way back for me now, I'm going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed possible
Alexander McQueen
Image
I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition

I'm the pink sheep in the family.

There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive.

I'm 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I'm dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above earth.

For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut.

For people who know McQueen, there is always an underlying message. It's usually only the intellectual ones who understand what's going on in what I do.
