More quotes by Alexander McQueen
People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.
Alexander McQueen
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
If you're lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It's not in the world - it's in your head. I think that is amazing.
Alexander McQueen
When you see a woman wearing McQueen, there’s a certain hardness to the clothes that makes her look powerful. It kind of fends people off.
Alexander McQueen
My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.
Alexander McQueen
I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition
Alexander McQueen
I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.

Life to me is a bit of a (Brothers) Grimm fairy tale.
Alexander McQueen
You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don't need to do that any more.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
There is no way back for me now, I'm going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed possible
Alexander McQueen
I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.
Alexander McQueen
For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.
Alexander McQueen
There is a hidden agenda in the fragility of romance.
Alexander McQueen
I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.
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
I've had good times I've had bad times.
Alexander McQueen
Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual
Alexander McQueen
I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world. I wanted to show a more poetic side to my work. It was all about... a feeling of sadness, but in a cinematic kind of way. I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
