I believe in that one-on-one sell. I don't really believe in flooding the market with loads of goods that don't mean much, and you lose your identity.

More quotes by Alexander McQueen
Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
Alexander McQueen
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
I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.
Alexander McQueen
I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
Alexander McQueen
I've had good times I've had bad times.
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 like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition
Alexander McQueen
It's good to know where you come from. It makes you what you are today. It's DNA, it's in your blood.
Alexander McQueen
I used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.
Alexander McQueen
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Alexander McQueen
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
I am married to work.
Alexander McQueen
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.
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
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
Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.
Alexander McQueen
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
Alexander McQueen
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
Alexander McQueen
I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.
Alexander McQueen
