More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.
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
Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!
Alexander McQueen
I'm the pink sheep in the family.
Alexander McQueen
Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way.
Alexander McQueen
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
I have been skiing since I was in school, but I'm not great. I am never going to break an Olympic record, I just want to go down the hills, on red or blue runs, but not... black.
Alexander McQueen
I used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
The police need to come down to street level.
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
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
Alexander McQueen
You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.
Alexander McQueen
Fame should be left to the film stars.
Alexander McQueen
These beautiful models were walking around in the room, and then suddenly this woman who wouldn’t be considered beautiful was revealed. It was about trying to trap something that wasn’t conventionally beautiful to show that beauty comes from within.
Alexander McQueen
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
Alexander McQueen
I came to terms with not fitting in a long time ago. I never really fitted in. I don't want to fit in. And now people are buying into that.
Alexander McQueen
It's almost like putting armor on a woman. It's a very psychological way of dressing.
Alexander McQueen
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen
Fashion is self confident and fearless.
Alexander McQueen
