“It's a new era in fashion- there are no rules”

“I want to be the purveyor of a certain silhouette or a way of cutting, so that when I am dead and gone people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.”

“I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it”

“I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists. I have to force people to look at things.”

“There is no better designer than nature.”

“In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold;Alike fantastic, if too new, or old:Be not the first by whom the new are tried,Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.”

“Life is too short to read a bad book”
