More quotes by Alexander McQueen
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.
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
I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
I've had good times I've had bad times.
Alexander McQueen
Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste.
Alexander McQueen
Birds in flight fascinate me. I admire eagles and falcons. I’m inspired by a feather but also its color, its graphics, its weightlessness and its engineering. It’s so elaborate. In fact I try and transpose the beauty of a bird to women.
Alexander McQueen
I'm the pink sheep in the family.
Alexander McQueen

When you see a woman wearing McQueen, there’s a certain hardness to the clothes that makes her look powerful. It kind of fends people off.
Alexander McQueen
I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.
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'm mad in the front of my mind, but business-minded in the back.
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
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Alexander McQueen
There’s blood beneath every layer of skin.
Alexander McQueen
Fashion is self confident and fearless.
Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen
I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
Alexander McQueen
Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive.
Alexander McQueen
