More quotes by Alexander McQueen
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
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
There is no way back for me now, I'm going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed possible
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
You can only go forward by making mistakes.

Alexander McQueen
It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle - everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.
Alexander McQueen
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
I feel more Scottish than Norman.
Alexander McQueen
I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.
Alexander McQueen
These beautiful models were walking around in the room, and then suddenly this woman who wouldn’t be considered beautiful was revealed. It was about trying to trap something that wasn’t conventionally beautiful to show that beauty comes from within.
Alexander McQueen
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
