I believe in that one-on-one sell. I don't really believe in flooding the market with loads of goods that don't mean much, and you lose your identity.
Alexander McQueen
Image
The explosion of museum exhibitions is only a mirror image of what has happened to fashion itself this millennium. With the force of technology, instant images and global participation, fashion has developed from being a passion for a few to a fascination - and an entertainment - for everybody.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
You've got to know the rules to break them.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Women should look like women. A piece of cardboard has no sexuality.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.

Image
I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.

I think there is beauty in everything.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Alexander McQueen
Image
It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.
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
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
Image
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
Image
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.

There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.
