I will never forget the look I got from a friend when I announced that someday I will own an "H"ermès. Eek! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been in that situation. Fret not ladies. Armed with these correct pronunciations, you'll never ever embarrass yourself again. In fact, you may just become the new expert on designer names.

Comments
heyy123: I agree with Kelly, wrong pronounciation for the french designers
Flor: I don't know but its gonna be fun using this as face exercise xD
Prom1s3: Never heard of most of these.
Rebecca: Most of these should be easy to pronounce. You just sound them out. Have we all forgotten what our teachers said when they thought us to read? You just gotta sound it out these are not that hard to pronounce.
QueenJ: I like how you put it in alphabetical order
Michelle70501: Lmao, I've only heard of 6 of them. I'm not into "fashion." I like down to earth clothes.
shannon: Love them all
Ruby1037: I don't know how but I got all of them. And I've never heard of most of then.
QueenJ: I like how you put it in alphabetical order
Kelly: Jean Paul Gaultier is correct, although the way that some of the French designers are pronounced on this are wrong as someone who has both worked with a lot of these designers and speaks fluent French xxx
