More quotes by Alexander McQueen
It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance.
Alexander McQueen
People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
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
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.
