"I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12." ― Alexander McQueen Topic(s): Age More From Alexander McQueen "Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way." "I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists." "There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do – but that part is for me. It’s my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There’s a sadness to it, but there’s romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person."

L. Mencken
