Image
I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Give me time and I'll give you a revolution.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I'm interested in designing for posterity.
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.

Image
There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I'm the pink sheep in the family.
Alexander McQueen
Image
For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut.

Image
The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
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.

When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. But then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. There's always spontaneity. You've got to allow for that in my shows.

You can only go forward by making mistakes.
Alexander McQueen
Image
When a woman gets dressed up to go out at night, she wants to give 50% away, and hold the rest back. If you're an open book, there's no allure.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
Alexander McQueen
Image
There is no way back for me now, I'm going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed possible
Alexander McQueen
Image
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
Image
You can only go forward by making mistakes. I'm twenty-seven, not fifty-seven. I'm not Givenchy, I'm Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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.

You've got to know the rules to break them.
