Fashion news and runway shows are seemingly everywhere, flooding our instagram feeds, TV shows, magazines and some fashion blogs. You probably Just can't wait to join in the fashion week/show conversation (Yes!!! Can't wait to see what the designers have in store for spring/summer ), but there is one problem *inserts sad Smiley*; HOW DO I PRONOUNCE THESE DESIGNERS? You may fall in love with BALMAIN seen on Kim kardashian while surfing the web, but would never speak of it aloud for the sheer fear of, well making a mess of the pronunciation.
Not to worry, you can use the guide below to help you be an expert in no time
1. Acne: Ahk-nay (But you can also pronounce it like that annoying skin condition if you like)
2. Badgley Mischka: Badge-lee Meesh-kah
3. Burberry: Burr-bur-ee (No berries here!)
4. Christian Louboutin: Christian Lou-bou-ton
5. Elie Saab: Ee-Lee Sahb
6. Givenchy: Zjee-von-shee
7. Hermes: Er-mez
8. Lanvin: Lahn-vahn
9. Marchesa: Mar-kay-zah
10. Monique Lhuillier: Mo-neek Loo-lee-ay
11. Moschino: Mos-key-no
12. Miu Miu: Mew Mew
13. 3.1 Phillip Lim: 3.1 Phillip Lem
14. Prabal Gurung: Prubble (rhymes with "trouble") Goo-rung
15. Proenza Schouler: Pro-en-zuh Skool-er
16. Ralph Lauren: Ralf Lor-en
17. Rodarte: Ro-dar-tay
18. Saint Laurent: San Lau-ran ( formerly Yves("Eve") saint Laurent)
19. Balmain: Bahl-mahhn
20. Guerlain: Gehr-lahn or Grr-lahn
Just to name a few, I believe after going through this list you would definitely be at the sheer front of all fashion related conversations with your friends this season
Stay blessed
