The Names' Game


You can't be a fashionista if you pronounce the brands or the name of the designers wrong. Nowaday, many of the names are French, Italian or Spanish and it's not easy as Dior or Chanel.

French
:

Jean Paul Gaultier (zhan paul GO-tee-AY)

Alber Elbaz for Lanvin (al-BEAR el-BAHZ for lon-VAN)

Nicolas Ghesquière (NEE-ko-la guess-KYAIR)


Italian:

Bulgari (BOOL-ga-ree)

Ungaro (OON-ga-ro)

Versace (ver-SAH-chay)


Spainish
:

Loewe (LO-ee-VAY)


And how about tricky American:

Proenza Schouler (pro-EN-za SCHOOL-er)
