More quotes by Alexander McQueen
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
Alexander McQueen
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
Fashion is self confident and fearless.
Alexander McQueen
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
I hate it when people romanticize Scotland.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
Fame should be left to the film stars.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
Alexander McQueen
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen
Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.
Alexander McQueen
You can only go forward by making mistakes.
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 used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.
Alexander McQueen
Birds in flight fascinate me. I admire eagles and falcons. I’m inspired by a feather but also its color, its graphics, its weightlessness and its engineering. It’s so elaborate. In fact I try and transpose the beauty of a bird to women.
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
