Alexander McQueen Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I never look at other people’s work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions Picture Quote #1

For people who know McQueen, there is always an underlying message. It’s usually only the intellectual ones who understand what’s going on in what I do Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style Picture Quote #1

Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places Picture Quote #1

I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil Picture Quote #1

I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress Picture Quote #1

Let me not forget the use of my own hands, that of a craftsman with eyes... that reflect the technology around me Picture Quote #1

I’m about what goes through people’s minds. The stuff that people don’t want to admit or face up to. The shows are about what’s buried in people’s psyches Picture Quote #1

It’s the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things Picture Quote #1

It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I work with people I admire and respect. It’s never because of who they are Picture Quote #1

As a designer, you’ve always got to push yourself forward; you’ve always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That’s what I do Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I can’t get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it’s just crass Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work Picture Quote #1

I never look at other people’s work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions Picture Quote #1
