Fashion Week is in full swing and since were all fashion lovers here (really?!) I think now is the perfect time to give you guys a lesson in proper fashion pronunciations! I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I hear Lanvin pronounced Laan-viin or Dolce & Gabbana whispered as doles and Gabbana…for the record, it’s dol-chey. To avoid embarrassing slip-ups I'm going to teach you ladies to how say these names and terms the right way. Here goes, remember to roll your tongue!
- Herve Leger - air-vey leg-jay
- Yves Saint Laurent - eeves sant la-rahn
- Louboutin - loo-boo-ton
- Proenza Schouler - pro-en-za skool-er
- Givenchy - shee-von-shee
- Versace - ver-sah-chee
- Louis Vuitton - loo-ee voo-ton
- Hermes - air-mez
- Haute Couture - oat co-toor
- Lanivn - lahn-vahn
Have fun! Let's face it, you'll sound more professional when you say it with a real accent. Luckily I'm taking my French GCSE! Sorry if I don't blog as much I usually do, GCSE's are very hard work so sorry guys but school first! I'll try and squeeze in my blog as much as I can :)
this is such a nice post to get to know all the 'correct' pronunciation of those prominent fashion brands!
