How to Pronounce Designer Names Tutorial | Hypebeast

I didn’t have a proper look on here but I noticed how you pronounced Yves Saint Laurent. He was French so if you want to pronounce it correctly it would be more like ‘Eve-san-law-ran’ as in French you wouldn’t pronounce the t or the i. Great idea doing this though!

though these are perhaps the most suitable phonetics for american natives as they are unlikely to be able to pronounce the names a hundred percent correct, most of the phonetics are wrong, I used to live in France and roc it’s air-mez indeed, no her-mez because french do not pronounce the h but instead put the syllable stress on the vowel that stands behind the h (dee-oar Om), with the stress on the O as well as the French tend to pronounce it as one word (deeoar-Om)

no, “air-mez” or “her-mez” is the proper way of saying it. the may thing is wrong.
