Alexander McQueen quotes - page 3

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. (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)

Alexander McQueen
