More quotes by Alexander McQueen
Fame should be left to the film stars.
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
There are only a handful of designers that influence other designers, and I have to keep one step ahead of the game.
Alexander McQueen
There is no way back for me now, I'm going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed possible
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
I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.
Alexander McQueen
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.
Alexander McQueen
When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. But then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. There's always spontaneity. You've got to allow for that in my shows.
Alexander McQueen
Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!
Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen
When a woman gets dressed up to go out at night, she wants to give 50% away, and hold the rest back. If you're an open book, there's no allure.
Alexander McQueen
There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.
Alexander McQueen
If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.
Alexander McQueen
I use things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex things we all think about, but don’t bring to the forefront. But I do and I force them to watch it
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
My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.
Alexander McQueen
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
Alexander McQueen
It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.
