It’s not just the girls of America’s next Top Model that can’t pronouce designer names. Do you ever try to tell someone who your dress is from or that you liked a certain ad but you mumble the name as to not sound like you don’t know what you are talking about? Fashionista blog has a list of how to say common mispronounced names.
Hermes is Er-mehz
Abaete is ah-bye-ah-tay. (Go buy her cute line of cheap shoes at Payless!)
It’s Caro-leena Herrera, not Caro-lie-na Herrara.
Nicolas Ghesquiere is Ni-co-la Guess-key-air
Givenchy is jhee-von-shee
Ralph Lauren, like the girl’s name!
Monique Lhuillier is Monique L’oo-li-ay
Christian Louboutin is Christian (with a light n) Loo-boo-tahn
