Fashion Should Be A Form Of Escapism,

You Can Only Go Forward By Making Mistakes. I'm Twenty-seven, Not Fifty-seven. I'm Not Givenchy, I'm Alexander Mcqueen.

Some Couture Collections Have Everything Including The Kitchen Sink! Everything Gets Thrown On To Make It Look Expensive. I Find It Grotesque When Clothes Hit You In The Face And There's No Room For Fault. But I Don't Expect To Turn Things Around All By Myself. I'm Not A Saint.

I Was This Young Boy And I Saw This Man With His Hands Round My Sister's Neck, I Was Just Standing There With Her Two Children Beside Me... Everything I've Done Since Then Was For The Purpose Of Making Women Look Stronger, Not Naïve. And So, When Everyone Started Saying I Was A Misogynist, That Really Freaked Me Out. They Didn't Know Me. They Didn't Know What I Had Seen In My Life. That Was The First Part Of Fashion That I Hated - People Labeling Me Without Knowing Me.

You Can Hide So Much Behind Theatrics, And I Don't Need To Do That Any More.

I Think There Is Beauty In Everything. What 'normal' People Would Perceive As Ugly, I Can Usually See Something Of Beauty In It.
