More quotes by Alexander McQueen

Image
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.

Image
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
Image
There is no way back for me now, I'm going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed possible
Alexander McQueen
Image
I think sometimes I might scare the editors, because they might feel they're getting old and they're not understanding it. The problem lies on their side of the fence, not mine. I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Some designers are so airy-fairy people can't connect with them. I hope people can relate to me, to a normal person who just happens to be a fashion designer, that people can take me as they find me. It's not the designer's job to care about what people think. Whatever else I've done, I've never tried to be something that I'm not.

I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.

You can only go forward by making mistakes.
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
Image
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.

I am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
Image
For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
I'm the pink sheep in the family.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.

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.
