Dreams are never just dreams, they are reality waiting to happen.

I really think that creating clothes and fashion has to be a statement about how we live and where we live and what's happening in the world.

Lee was very much his own person so it's impossible to know quite what he would have thought but part of the reason for me staying is that I believe he always wanted this to be a house that would be here forever, that he never wanted his name not to mean anything any more. And I want that too. I want Alexander McQueen to continue. Then, in a hundred years time, there will still be this house that he created, this great place that represents modernity and creativity and beauty and romance and all of those things. That, I think, would be amazing.

Whenever I pick up a jacket and it's heavy, I think, 'Oh, I don't want to wear that.'

There'll always be a McQueen woman. She's strong, powerful & when she puts a McQueen jacket on, she feels different.

When you design a collection, you have to start with what you love and what you believe in. Unless you do that, you can't stand behind it, so there's no point in doing it.

Every day, I love what I do and I think it's a gift and privilege to love your job.
