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.

More quotes by Alexander McQueen
When I'm dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen
There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.
Alexander McQueen
I find beauty in melancholy.
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
The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
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
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
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
There’s blood beneath every layer of skin.
Alexander McQueen
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
I am married to work.
Alexander McQueen
Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way.
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
There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.
Alexander McQueen
It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle - everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.
Alexander McQueen
Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
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.
Alexander McQueen
The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.
Alexander McQueen
It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance.
Alexander McQueen
