For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.
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
It's good to know where you come from. It makes you what you are today. It's DNA, it's in your blood.
Alexander McQueen

Image
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.

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.

I think sometimes I might scare the editors, because they might feel they're getting old and they're not understanding it. The problem lies on their side of the fence, not mine. I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era.

Image
I think there is beauty in everything.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I've had good times I've had bad times.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
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
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.
