More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
Alexander McQueen
For people who know McQueen, there is always an underlying message. It's usually only the intellectual ones who understand what's going on in what I do.
Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
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
Fame should be left to the film stars.
Alexander McQueen
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
I feel more Scottish than Norman.
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
I hate it when people romanticize Scotland.
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
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
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
If you're an open book, there's no allure.
Alexander McQueen
I think there is beauty in everything.
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.
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
I used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.
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
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
Alexander McQueen
