More quotes by Alexander McQueen
It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance.
Alexander McQueen
People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.
Alexander McQueen
The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
Alexander McQueen
You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don't need to do that any more.
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 think there is beauty in everything.
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
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
It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
Alexander McQueen
When I'm dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
Alexander McQueen
There is a hidden agenda in the fragility of romance.
Alexander McQueen
People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.
Alexander McQueen
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Alexander McQueen
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
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
It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.
Alexander McQueen
I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition
Alexander McQueen
Fashion is self confident and fearless.
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.
