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
Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.
Alexander McQueen
I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late.
Alexander McQueen
Some designers are so airy-fairy people can't connect with them. I hope people can relate to me, to a normal person who just happens to be a fashion designer, that people can take me as they find me. It's not the designer's job to care about what people think. Whatever else I've done, I've never tried to be something that I'm not.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer than nature
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
I am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
Alexander McQueen

I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
I feel more Scottish than Norman.
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
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
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
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
Alexander McQueen
I was literally 3 years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life, through primary school, secondary school, all my life. I always, always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of twelve. I followed designer's careers. I knew Giorgio Armani was a window-dresser, Emanuel Ungaro was a tailor.
Alexander McQueen
Of course I make mistakes. I'm human. If I didn't make mistakes, I'd never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes.
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
Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
Alexander McQueen
There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.
