Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer then nature
Alexander McQueen
There’s blood beneath every layer of skin.
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.
Alexander McQueen
I'm interested in designing for posterity.

I was literally 3 years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life, through primary school, secondary school, all my life. I always, always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of twelve. I followed designer's careers. I knew Giorgio Armani was a window-dresser, Emanuel Ungaro was a tailor.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.
Alexander McQueen
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do.
Alexander McQueen
Fame should be left to the film stars.
Alexander McQueen
London's where I was brought up. It's where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.
Alexander McQueen
I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.
Alexander McQueen
