Fashion is self confident and fearless.
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
There are only a handful of designers that influence other designers, and I have to keep one step ahead of the game.

I'm 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I'm dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above earth.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.
Alexander McQueen
Image
For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut.
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
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I'm about what goes through people's minds. The stuff that people don't want to admit or face up to. The shows are about what's buried in people's psyches.
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
Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!

Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste.

My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.
