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
I want to be honest about the world that we live in, and sometimes my political persuasions come through in my work. Fashion can be really racist, looking at the clothes of other cultures as costumes. . . . That’s mundane and it’s old hat. Let’s break down some barriers.

I'm the pink sheep in the family.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
I use things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex things we all think about, but don’t bring to the forefront. But I do and I force them to watch it
Alexander McQueen

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
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer then nature
Alexander McQueen
I've had good times I've had bad times.

Alexander McQueen
I am married to work.
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
I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.
Alexander McQueen
Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!
Alexander McQueen
