‘I Want to Empower Women’ — Alexander McQueen Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Muscle Tank

“I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.” Alexander McQueen said this to Vogue in 1997, two years after his slashed, storm-tossed “Highland Rape” collection scandalized London. He cut clothes like armor and wanted the woman inside them read as a force, someone the room had to reckon with. His idea of empowering a woman had sharp edges — power that makes others sit up, rather than the soft, saleable kind.
