For all the rookies in the fashion industry and even some veterans, this tutorial is for you. We have all made the mistake at least once, saying BUR-berry instead of BUR-bur-ree. After checking this out you will not only be more designer savy but no longer a rookie in the field.
Those aren’t even proper phonetics

Posted by: wholesome / July 30th, 2008 at 5:49 pm who cares if its proper, its about time some one cared about pronouciation

Posted by: 4ngow / July 31st, 2008 at 12:17 am I think this is a pretty cool resource. It keeps you from looking like an asshole when you go to a store and ask for one of these designers lol
Posted by: masdeloce / July 31st, 2008 at 11:07 am free willy - if you look at the table vs your post, they actually did “burberry” correctly. and THANK GOD people will learn how to say “hermes” correctly.
Posted by: fashion chick / July 31st, 2008 at 11:43 am actually - her-mehz is wrong. it’s “air-may”

Posted by: geo / July 31st, 2008 at 1:45 pm I thought it was CoMAY DAY GarCONs for the longest time lol
Posted by: Josh / July 31st, 2008 at 4:18 pm no, “air-mez” or “her-mez” is the proper way of saying it. the may thing is wrong.
Posted by: roc / July 31st, 2008 at 6:06 pm i’ve been wanting to know how “Raf” as in Raf Simons was pronounced for the longest time.
Posted by: lol / July 31st, 2008 at 7:46 pm 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)
Posted by: tim / July 31st, 2008 at 7:48 pm you guys forgot another doozy… ermenegildo zegna… try that on for size
Posted by: bobbito / August 1st, 2008 at 12:05 am This is some pretty funny stuff.
Posted by: katjakassin / August 1st, 2008 at 7:50 am … the silent h is the easy part of “hermes” … i think ppl get confused with the ending … u kno “may” or “mez” … i kno how to pronounce it … do u???
Posted by: b.m. / August 1st, 2008 at 2:33 pm 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!
