More quotes by Alexander McQueen

Image
There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is no better designer then nature
Alexander McQueen
Image
I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
I'm 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I'm dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above earth.
Alexander McQueen
Image
When I'm dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I have been skiing since I was in school, but I'm not great. I am never going to break an Olympic record, I just want to go down the hills, on red or blue runs, but not... black.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I'm interested in designing for posterity.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Women should look like women. A piece of cardboard has no sexuality.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.
Alexander McQueen

I've had good times I've had bad times.
