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.

Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.
Alexander McQueen

I'm mad in the front of my mind, but business-minded in the back.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen

I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
