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

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.

I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.

I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late.

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.

Image
I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.

Image
There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.

Image
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.

I am a melancholy type of person.

You've got to know the rules to break them.

I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.

I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.

I have been skiing since I was in school, but I'm not great. I am never going to break an Olympic record, I just want to go down the hills, on red or blue runs, but not... black.

Image
I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
Alexander McQueen
Image
For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut.
Alexander McQueen
Image
I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.

Life to me is a bit of a (Brothers) Grimm fairy tale.

Women should look like women. A piece of cardboard has no sexuality.
