I used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.

I'm not interested in being liked.
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.

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.

Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
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.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.
Alexander McQueen
Image
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.

Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't.
Alexander McQueen
Image
It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.
Alexander McQueen
Image
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
Image
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Alexander McQueen
Image
You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don't need to do that any more.

I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world. I wanted to show a more poetic side to my work. It was all about... a feeling of sadness, but in a cinematic kind of way. I find beauty in melancholy.
