Alexander McQueen

I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists. ”

Of course I make mistakes. I'm human. If I didn't make mistakes, I'd never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes. ”

I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design. ”

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. ”

I've had good times; I've had bad times. ”

I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12. ”

Give me time and I'll give you a revolution. ”

There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company. ”

I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore. ”

I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions. ”
