More quotes by Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.
Alexander McQueen
There are only a handful of designers that influence other designers, and I have to keep one step ahead of the game.
Alexander McQueen
What I do is look at ancient African tribes, and the way they dress. The rituals of how they dress. . . . There's a lot of tribalism in the collections.
Alexander McQueen
I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.
Alexander McQueen
I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.
Alexander McQueen
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
Alexander McQueen
I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition
Alexander McQueen
I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
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
I want to empower women.
Alexander McQueen
Fame should be left to the film stars.
Alexander McQueen
There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.
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
I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.
Alexander McQueen
Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.
Alexander McQueen
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
Alexander McQueen
