More quotes by Alexander McQueen
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer than nature
Alexander McQueen
You can get insular with fashion.
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
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
Of course I make mistakes. I'm human. If I didn't make mistakes, I'd never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes.
Alexander McQueen
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
It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance.
Alexander McQueen
Fashion is self confident and fearless.
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
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
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
Alexander McQueen
Women should look like women. A piece of cardboard has no sexuality.
Alexander McQueen
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
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
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
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
Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
Alexander McQueen
I think I should be a president. President of the United States.
Alexander McQueen
