More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
Alexander McQueen
If you're an open book, there's no allure.
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 find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
There are only a handful of designers that influence other designers, and I have to keep one step ahead of the game.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
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
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
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
It's good to know where you come from. It makes you what you are today. It's DNA, it's in your blood.
Alexander McQueen
It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle - everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.
Alexander McQueen
It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.
Alexander McQueen
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
Alexander McQueen
For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.
Alexander McQueen
You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.
Alexander McQueen
There is a hidden agenda in the fragility of romance.
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
It's almost like putting armor on a woman. It's a very psychological way of dressing.
Alexander McQueen
