Thank you ELLE UK, you may just save us all from looking like idiots. How so you say? Well, ELLE UK has given us 70+ phonetic break-downs of designers like Erotokritos, Ann Demeulemeester, and the one that gets me every time, Lanvin pronounced lon-van. Study up I say, so the next time you are talking about Hermes, you'll know the H is silent and pronounce it er-mez instead of her-mes. View all the designer pronunciations.

Ha I love it! Such a great find. Off to study.....
I just love international fashion magazines!! Marie Claire UK* is my favorite! :D
THANK YOU! i've always wanted to find something like this but never knew where to look. :)
this is really cool:)
thank goodness! i always have trouble pronouncing yves saint lauren (and spelling it).
I read these things and they still get me. LOL!
Balenciaga is the one that always gets me. Nice find.
Ditto to what house of milk said. What a life saver! I'm the idiot that that used to walk around said her-mees. dear god, how embarassing!
Haha! I once heard someone pronounce Hermes like 'herpes' (but with an M), but managed to keep a straight face (barely). Look forward to getting my hands on this issue! LOVE Elle UK!

I always thought lanvin was prononced as it's read !
Thanks for sharing :)
ps. i just found your blog and i can't get enough. Link swap ? :)
haha so funny for me as a Dutch girl to read how to pronounce Dries van Noten. I knew about the er-mez thing, but I'm glad I finally learned how to pronounce Consuelo Castgilioni (now I just have to learn how exactly to write it), and didn't know about lon-vin too.
Moschino! Italian gets me every time....
YES! i saw one a while back but it seriously only had like 10 designers (and if you don't know how to pronounce chanel, you shouldn't be talking about fashion). this list is killer!
hey stacy, thanks for stopping by my blog. I must have mispronounced all the names of designers all the time, thanks for the tip=)
This is really fantastic! :D
