The reason I'm patriotic about Scotland is because I think it's been dealt a really hard hand. It's marketed the world over as . . . haggis . . . bagpipes. But no one ever puts anything back into it.

More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I want to empower women.
Alexander McQueen
I'm not interested in being liked.
Alexander McQueen
I believe in that one-on-one sell. I don't really believe in flooding the market with loads of goods that don't mean much, and you lose your identity.
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 feel more Scottish than Norman.
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 am married to work.
Alexander McQueen
Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!
Alexander McQueen
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Alexander McQueen
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.
Alexander McQueen
London's where I was brought up. It's where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.
Alexander McQueen
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
People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.
Alexander McQueen
The explosion of museum exhibitions is only a mirror image of what has happened to fashion itself this millennium. With the force of technology, instant images and global participation, fashion has developed from being a passion for a few to a fascination - and an entertainment - for everybody.
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.
Alexander McQueen
These beautiful models were walking around in the room, and then suddenly this woman who wouldn’t be considered beautiful was revealed. It was about trying to trap something that wasn’t conventionally beautiful to show that beauty comes from within.
Alexander McQueen
My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.
Alexander McQueen
British fashion is self confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.
Alexander McQueen
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
