There are only a handful of designers that influence other designers, and I have to keep one step ahead of the game.
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
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
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
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
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I use things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex things we all think about, but don’t bring to the forefront. But I do and I force them to watch it
Alexander McQueen
Image
I am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I think I should be a president. President of the United States.
Alexander McQueen
Image
It's not my vision when I cover a woman's face with a chador. I got the idea from a 'National Geographic' photo. I'm just showing their plight in the world.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I want to empower women.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company. (But) I always remember that it's the fantasy, the artistic side, that makes customers want to buy the straightforward black pants.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
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
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
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I think there is beauty in everything.
Alexander McQueen
Image
It's almost like putting armor on a woman. It's a very psychological way of dressing.
