Alexander Mcqueen, Fashion Designer, 1969 To 2010
The fashion world lost one of its treasures when Alexander McQueen, four-time British Fashion Designer of the Year awardee, passed away last February 11 at the age of 40. His artistry had drawn much attention because of its boldness and attitude that defied what is commonly acceptable in fashion circles.
The youngest of six broods, Alexander McQueen was born on March 16, 1969 in London East End. The son of a taxi driver, McQueen stopped going to school at an early age of 16 and decided to work at Savile Row when he found out that there were only a few apprentices in traditional tailoring. He first trained at Anderson and Sheppard and later moved to Gieves and Hawkes before working with theater costumiers Berman and Nathan. McQueen got to hone his skill at Savile Row which he credited for his precision in creating form fitting clothes.
When McQueen was twenty, he applied and worked with Japanese designer Koji Tatsuno who made clothes from antique materials. Afterwards, he was taken in by Italian designer Romeo Gigli who was quick to notice his inclination towards designs that are too far-out and unconventional. He then went back to London to take his MA at Central St. Martin

Crystal and glass experts, come hither! Questions about cleaning displayed crystal, which brands, etc...?
I have just began to collect glassware and crystal (vintage and modern), and I have been doing A LOT of research. But it is all so confusing. I have heard Depression Era glass is best (most collectable, rare)... then I've heard Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) is, then I've heard EAPC is, (Early American Prescut) is..(I don't even know what this one is!!??)
And then I've heard that what matters is the pattern, like some are rarer than others... imperial wheels, hobstar, thumbprint, diamond, sunburst, starburst, fashion, the list is endless!!!
And then there are the brands!!! Which brands are "good?" And what makes them good??? I've heard of Swarovski, Mikasa, Carnival, Shannon by Godinger, Imperial...once again the list seems endless!!!
Can someone please teach me something? I am sooo lost here!
Is it bad to collect different pieces and patterns from different brands? Color Glass versus clear glass? And what is the proper way to clean crystal? HELP!!!!
More of a cleaning expert than a crystal expert!
I do know that depression glass is easier to collect as there is more of it on the market, but it is worth less than it used to be for the same reason. There is also a lot of imitation depression glass so it is hard to tell the real from fake.
But on the cleaning part....I have always washed my crystal in hot soapy water with some white vinegar added in. The vinegar helps to cut grease and grime. I also rinse it with a bit more vinegar and hot water.
