How to pronounce brand guess. 10 famous brands whose names are difficult to pronounce
Here we all love to brag about another branded little thing. But, alas, not all of us, even the most advanced, can correctly pronounce the names of brands and famous trademarks clothes. Once again, after listening to the girls around me (by the way, often quite stylish), and after watching the episode of the program "America's Next Top Model", which featured Christian Lacra and Hermes, which I did not understand, I decided to write this post. Today we will learn how to pronounce brand names correctly.
If you have a desire to argue, then please, not here. I checked every entry, so if you haven’t heard with your own ears how Christian Lacroix said that his last name is pronounced “Lacroich”, then please don’t argue with me. I wandered through dozens of websites of people who do not get out of fashion shows and checked the correct pronunciation. Those in which there were discrepancies, I did not include.
Since there is a big problem with the accent icon in the console, I will highlight the accents with a capital letter. Sometimes multiple pronunciations are possible.
Alexander McQueen - [Alexander McQueen]
Giorgio Armani - [Giorgio Armani] / [Giorgio Armani]
Balmain - [balmAn]. Here, please pay attention: the brand is French, so the combination ai is read as “a”. Some especially advanced ones read, of course, “balmain”, but you are not one of them, right?
Bulgari - [Bulgari]
Burberry - [burberry].
Byblos - [byblos]
Cacharel - [kasharEl]
Carolina Herrera
Cartier - [cartier]
Celine - [celine]
Chanel - [shanEl].
Chloé - [chloe]
Christian Dior - [christian dior].
Christian Louboutin - [Christian LouboutAn].
Christian Lacroix - [christian lacroix]
Clarins
Dior Homme - [Dior Om]. By the way, a note. Homme means "male, male" and is always and everywhere read as [Om]. Femme means "feminine, woman", and is always and everywhere read as [fam]. Accordingly, the names of perfumes “for him” - pour homme - will be read [pur Om], and “for her” - pour femme [pur fAm].
dolce & gabbana
Dsquared - [diskEirt]. There is also a lot of controversy about this name, but it is pronounced that way.
DKNY (Donna Karan New York)
Emilio Pucci - [emIlio pucci]
Escada - [escada]
Estée Lauder - [este louder]. There is also an interesting story here. The name seems to be French, although the brand is American. Therefore, in such abnormal eclecticism, such a hybrid as [este louder] turned out.
Ermenegildo Zegna But this is a must-know for all men.
Etro - [Etro]
Hermes. There is a very interesting story going on with this brand. All over the world, including in Russia, the townsfolk pronounce the brand name as "GerMes". But this is wrong. French inhabitants, whose land, in fact, gave birth to this brand, read the name of the brand as "erme". And they do it right from the point of view of French phonetics - the first letter is mute, the stress is on the last syllable, the last letter is not readable. The French inhabitants just forget that proper names are exceptions to any rule. The name of the founder of the brand was Thierry Hermès, so the only correct pronunciation of the brand is [ermEs], with not a slight accent, but aspiration on the first syllable.
Hublot - [Ublo]
Guy Laroche
Gianfranco Ferré - [genfranco ferE]
Givenchy - [givenchy]. The founding father of the brand was named Hubert de Givenchy
John Galliano
Jean-Paul Gaultier - [Jean-Paul Gaultier]
Jimmy Choo - [Jimmy Choo]
Gucci - [gucci]
Guess - [ges]. The vowel is something between "E" and "E"
Jimmy Choo - [Jimmy Choo]
Lacoste - [lacoste]
Karl Lagerfeld - [Karl Lagerfeld]. And tell these clever Anglo-lovers that Lagerfeld is German.
Levi Strauss - [Levi Strauss].
Loewe - [lowe]. Listen.
Louis Vuitton - [lui viiton] / [lui viton] / [lui viuiton] - in all three cases, “n” is pronounced in the nose
LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) - [el ve em ash], [louis vuitton moet ennessy].
Stella McCartney - [Stella McCartney]
Mandarina Duck - [mandarina duck]
Max Mara - [max mara]
Miu Miu - [miu miu]
Moschino - [Moskino]. The designer's name is Franco Moschino
Nina Ricci - [Nina Ricci]
Paul Smith
Pierre Cardin - [Pierre cardan]. This is ideal. They often say "cardEn" - it is also acceptable. The main thing is not to "cardin".
Prada - [prada]. Designer - Miuccia Prada [miUcha prAda]
Ralph Lauren - [Ralph Lauren] - again a French-American linguistic setup.
Robert Piguet
Salvatore Ferragamo - [selvatore ferragamo]
Seiko - [seiko]
Sergio Rossi - [Sergio Rossi]
Sonia Rykiel - [Sonia Rykiel]
Shiseido - [shiseido]
Tommy Hilfiger English language, so the last letter is softly read
Tissot - [tissO]
Ulysse Nardin - [Ulysse NardAn]. "U" is more like "Yu".
Van Cleef & Arpels - [Van Cleef & Arpel]
Versace - [versace]
Viktor & Rolf - [Viktor and Rolf]
Wyler Genève
Yohji Yamamoto - [yoji yamamoto]
Yves Saint Laurent - [Yves Saint Laurent]
Zuhair Murad - [Zuhair Murad]
Have you ever encountered the fact that, looking at the tag of a new dress, you don’t even remotely imagine how to combine this sequence of letters into a single word? This happens even to professionals! Especially for such situations, we have prepared a cheat sheet with the rules for pronouncing the names of designers and brand names.
Philipp Plein – Philipp Plein- the designer was born in Germany, so his name should be pronounced that way, in the German manner, and not in English - Plain, as is usually done. We call Calvin Klein Calvin Klein their names are phonetically similar.
designer Nicolas Ghesquiere at the urgent request of the press service of the company, you should call Nicolas Ghesquière, not Nicolas Ghesquière, but the brand under his control Louis Vuitton in Russian it is pronounced as " Louis Vuitton”, but not “Louis Vuitton” or “Louis Vuitton”.
Belgian designer Ann Demeulemeester worth calling Ann Demeulemeister- there are a great many variations on the theme of her name.
Fashion house Lanvin pronounced like " lanvan", these are the features of French pronunciation. So forget about Lanvin" or " Lanvin". The name of the brand leader is Alber Elbaz.
The brand name is read according to the same rules. Moschino – « Moskino».
Hermes - Ermes- and nothing else. And Hermes is the name of the ancient Greek god of trade and profit. In addition, the brand name is often pronounced as " Erme” and, it would seem, according to the rules of French transcription, this is true. But do not forget that every rule has exceptions. This is exactly such a case.
Name of French designer of Tunisian origin Azzedine Alaia pronounced like " Azzedine Alaya”, usually three vowels in a row in his surname are introduced into a stupor.
Badgley Mischka- this is not the name of one person, as it might seem, but the names of the founders of the design duet - Mark Badgley and James Mishka. Accordingly, the brand name sounds like this: Badgley Bear».
Often there are different pronunciations of the name Vionnet– Vionnet or Vionnet. In fact, everything is simple: Vionnet with an accent on "e". This is exactly what the name of the founder of the French House, the legendary Madeleine Vionnet, sounded like.
Bandage dresses Herve Leger everyone knows, but how to pronounce the brand name, many do not know. Correct answer - " Herve Leger”, and not “Herve Ledger” or “Herve Lege”.
Name Elie Saab sounds like " Elie Saab". And by the way, the Lebanese designer is a man, not a woman, as many people think.
His countryman, close to him in spirit and style, - Zuhair Murad. In Russian it sounds like this - Zuhair Murad. "E" is not pronounced cleanly, but close to "A".
Frenchman Thierry Mugler – Thierry Mugler. Nothing complicated!
American brand Proenza Schouler pronounced like " Proenza Schooler”, even if sometimes I want to call him “Sharp”.
brand name Balenciaga sounds like " Balenciaga».
House Givenchy should be called Givenchy, and not in the American manner - "Givenshi".
In English speaking countries Balmain often pronounced as "Balmain", but correctly it should sound like " Balman”, while the letter “n” at the end is practically not pronounced.
Brand Comme Des Garcons Japanese, but its name is French, so you should say " Côme de Garçon". Without "s" in both cases.
As soon as they do not pronounce the name of the Spanish brand Loewe! Indeed, the rules for pronunciation of this word are difficult to explain. The end result should be something between Loewe" And " Loweve”, but always with a vowel at the end.
Name Rei Kawakubo, maybe it looks complicated, but it's quite easy to pronounce - " Rei Kawakubo».
The name of the world-famous shoe designer Christian Louboutin according to the rules sounds closest to " Christian Louboutin". Although it is easy to make a mistake, even in professional circles you can hear "Louboutin", "Lobutan" or "Louboutin". In order not to complicate their lives, many fans of the brand affectionately call their new shoes " Lubis».
One of the main hoaxes of the fashion world is the correct pronunciation of the brand name. Nike. Only in Russia, the incorrect version of Nike has taken root so much that it even sounds from TV screens. In fact, around the world the brand is called " Nike».
Difficult-looking names Giambattista Valli And Gianfranco Ferre turn out to be not so difficult when it comes to pronunciation - Giambattista Valley And Jeanfranco Ferre respectively.

Hedi Slimane also often called incorrectly, but everything is simpler than it seems: Hedi Slimane, not Hedy Sliman.
Burberry Prorsum sounds like " Burbury Prorsum", not "Burbury Prorsum" or "Burbury Prorsum".
Belgian designer Dries Van Noten should be called Dries Van Noten.
At the beginning of the 20th century Elsa Schiaparelli was known no less than Coco Chanel. Then the Italian fashion house fell into decay and the rules for pronouncing the name of the founder were forgotten. Now the company is experiencing a rebirth, so it's time to refresh the knowledge - Elsa Schiaparelli.
Mary Katrantzou born in Greece, but creates in Britain. They call her there Mary Katranzu.
Usually, Hermes handbags often ride on the city subway, in local clubs, students invite males with Givenchy fragrances, bought at an 80% discount on some kind of pallet website, and in the Troyeschina haute couture showroom, you can find good jeans options " Disquired2".
A little strained knowledge of "brands"? Well, this is approximately how we strain those who know how famous brands are actually pronounced correctly. I confess that I myself am far from ideal and until today I called poor Christian Louboutin “Louboutin” and disgraced myself in Brocard by buying lipstick from Clarins for my mother (although I doubt that sales assistants themselves are aware of how to pronounce the products they promote correctly).
And if you laugh at those who drink a cup of fragrant espresso every morning, then it is possible that someone is quietly laughing at your Mochino. To be ready to show off your fashion knowledge in situations where someone cuts your sensitive ear with a knife called "Barberry", I suggest testing your knowledge in the fashion world.
Do you pronounce brands correctly? Let's check.
Clarins
The aforementioned Clarines, which, as you already know, my mother is delighted with, are actually called "Clarence", and nothing else.
Chantecaille
I used to pronounce this long name of a French brand of cosmetics as some kind of “Chantel”. But if you do manage to raise enough money to buy their not-quite-cheap products, talk to the salesperson with a knowing face. "Chantecay".
Hermes
If you call this brand "Hermes", then you are very close to the truth. Remove the rural "Ge" from your memory and you will succeed beautiful name "Ermes". But if you say "Erme", then flatter the French confectioner Pierre Herme.
Lanvin
Lanvin Eclat d'Arpege is one of my favorite perfumes. Indeed, instead of "Lanvan said Lanvin. I will correct.
Loewe
This cute name of the Spanish brand is often pronounced as "Love" or "Lov". And you might think that in his song “Lova-Lova” Dorn sings about this brand, if not for one “but”: it’s right to say "Loeve".
If you are embarrassed to name this brand "Moskino" and oppress politics with "Moshino", be afraid - the first option will be correct.
Sisley
This cosmetic brand I used to call myself "Sisli" until today. but knowledgeable people they will surely correct you by kindly suggesting the name "Sisley».
Yohji Yamamoto
The Japanese know how to confuse Slavic people with their names. And if it is still possible to cope with the name of the designer of the brand, then his name causes some difficulties. "Yoji Yamamoto"- that's how it will be right.
Balenciaga
If you're used to saying "Balencia", forget it. Learn a word Balenciaga.
Givenchy
Very often, in order to show off their knowledge, phytonyashi languidly pronounce "Givenshi". You will be doing them a big favor if you fix them. Givenchy.
Balmain
I confess, I myself called this brand "Balmain". Now I know what's right "Balman".
Separately, we will go through several designers.
I have always liked the exquisite and non-trivial dresses of this beautiful designer. And it's good that we don't know her personally, otherwise she would have killed me for Herrera. "Caroline Herrera"- her real name.
Dean and Dan Caten created a wonderful brand that everyone calls "Disquired" for convenience. What the twins actually meant "Discued". Is it difficult to speak? And what to rob ...
Tommy Hilfiger
This designer constantly beckons me with his cool shoe models, which I cutely call “tomiki”. And someone shamelessly calls him "Halfiger". And the fashion designer's name is "Tommy Hilfiger".
Calvin Klein
I remember that back in the 8th or 9th grade on Darynka, my mother and I grabbed cool Calvin Klein trousers, which the designer, of course, did not supply there. I didn’t care, and I was very proud that I had burnt, but still pants from "Calvin Klein". What is most interesting, I called it correctly the first time.
With the Lebanese designer, everything is simple: as it is written, so it is heard - "Eli Saab". And yes, it's a man.
And a favorite for a snack.
Burberry Prorsum
"Barbary" and "Burbary" - this is already last century. It is fashionable to call brands by their proper names. "Burbury Prorsum" and nothing else.
And everyone's favorite sweet uncle, who does not even suspect that half of Kyiv walks in his "Louboutins" from the local market, is actually called "Christian Louboutin". Did you know?
P.S. In case anyone is wondering, the Parmode blog is actually pronounced "Parmode" and not "Parmode" at all. Although for the convenience of perception, I often say so myself.
Yesterday's events inspired the topic for writing this post. Maybe someone will be useful and informative.
Do we correctly pronounce the names of brands that are present in our Everyday life? Let's sort it out a little right or wrong in this topic, and whoever remembers, add it to the comments, or write it down and remember!
Converse
Let's start with our favorite brand Converse - which did not come from the English verb "to conv?erse", but from the name of the creator of the brand Markus K?onvers, so let's remember and now we say correctly: converse - [k?onverse] - [?k ?nv??s]
Coccinelle
Coccinelle - Coxinelle (which translates as "ladybug") is a French word, but borrowed by Italians, it is pronounced cochinelle in Italian and is also translated as ladybugs, only in plural. So this is an exception and it is customary to say how Italians do it when talking about their brand.
Desigual
Desigual is a Spanish brand that can be found in our shopping malls. The word translated from Spanish means “not like everyone else”, “not the same” or “unequal”, which is quite proven by optimistic bright collections designed for young boys and girls who want to stand out from the crowd. So, how to pronounce this word desigual correctly? al or desigu? al. Personally, in my practice, the Spaniards pronounced - desigu "al
Dsquared2
Dsquared2 - Men's and women's brand women's clothing and accessories, founded by twin brothers from Canada, Dean and Dan Caten, is known for its collaboration with the stars of show business (not without the help of the ubiquitous Madonna). The name of the brand comes from the first letters of the brothers' names - D in the square. This is a discweed, not a discweed, and it is not a Canadian brand at all, but an Italian one, since the brand has been registered in Milan since 1991.
Loewe
My favorite Spaniards are also Loewe - in honor of the founder of the brand, we pronounce Loewe
TOUS
Spanish bears TOUS, here how to spell and pronounce - Tous
hublot
Hublot (Ublo) is a famous Swiss brand specializing in the production of luxury watches. The brand was founded in 1980 and is currently subsidiary international holding Louis Vuitton Moet Hennesy (LVMH). History Hublot watchmaker Carlo Crocco grew up in an Italian family of watchmakers.
Guy Laroche
Guy Laroche - The English have the name Guy and they pronounce it "Guy", but the French call their Guy "Guy". The modist from the Atlantic hinterland of France, who at the end of the 40s of the 20th century began his career in “practical” haute couture, and then in pret-a-porter, was called Guy Laroche.
Philipp Plein
One of the common mistakes is the pronunciation of the name of the German designer Philipp Plein. Philip was born in Germany, so his name should be pronounced exactly in the German manner "Plein", and not in English - "Plein".
Louis Vuitton
The name of the fashion house Louis Vuitton, it is correct to pronounce - "Louis Vuitton", but not "Louis Vuitton" or "Louis Vuitton".
Alber Elbaz
The head of the Lanvin brand is Alber Elbaz. And the brand under his leadership is pronounced as "Lanvan". These are the features of French pronunciation. So forget Lanvin or Lanvin.
Levi's
Levi's - Having emigrated to America, the Bavarian Leb Strauss changed not only his life, but also his name. He adapted it to the American style - Levi Strauss. Therefore, your favorite jeans should be called Levi's and nothing else.
Marchesa
Brand name Marchesa (a brand of stunning couture dresses handmade) should be read according to Italian rules: "Marquesa", not "Marchesa" in English, because the company got its name in honor of the Italian aristocrat Marchesa Luisa Casati.
Moschino
According to the same rules, the name of the Moschino brand is read - "Moskino"
Nike
Nike - Name of manufacturing company sportswear and inventory is of Greek origin, it is the English version of the name of the ancient Greek goddess of victory Nike. It sounds like Nike. That's how the name of the company is pronounced.
Hermes
The Hermes brand is correctly pronounced as "Ermes", and nothing else. Hermes is the name of the ancient Greek god of trade and profit, and he definitely has nothing to do with modern fashion. In addition, the brand name is often pronounced as "Erme" and, it would seem, according to the rules of French transcription, this is correct. But do not forget that every rule has exceptions. This is exactly such a case.
Azzedine Alaia
The name of the French designer of Tunisian origin Azzedine Alaia, whose outfits especially impressed fashionistas this year, is pronounced as "Azzedine Alaia". Usually three vowels in a row in his surname are introduced into a stupor, but everything is much simpler than it seems.
Badgley Mischka
Wonderful shoes “Baglai Mishka” are not “Baglai” at all. Badgley Mischka is not the name of one person, as it might seem, but the names of the founders of the design duo: Mark Badgley and James Mischka. Accordingly, the brand name sounds like this: "Badgley Bear".
Vionnet
Many pronunciations can also be heard in relation to the name Vionnet: "Vyonet" or "Vionnet". In fact, everything is simple: "Vionne" with an emphasis on "e". This is exactly what the name of the founder of the French House, the legendary Madeleine Vionnet, sounded like.
Elie Saab
Remembering the next Elie Saab brand, you will surely assure with confidence that we are talking about a woman again. And here it is not. The Lebanese designer is a man. It is he who creates dresses of heavenly beauty. Oh yes, the correct pronunciation is Elie Saab.
Proenza Schouler
Proenza Schouler - about what sharper in question? No, it's new collection Proenza Schouler. The American brand is often called "Shuler", although it should be "Proenza Schooler". Almost like school in English. Much nicer than a scammer.
Remember the cracked paint sweatshirts? What name do they have? That's right, we are talking about the futuristic brand Balenciaga (sounds like "Balenciaga").
Givenchy
The House of Givenchy, which impressed us with aggressive Dobermans on bags, should be called "Givenchy", and not in the American manner - "Givenchy".
Balmain
But in English-speaking countries, the name Balmain is often pronounced incorrectly - “Balmain”, but it should sound correctly like “Balmain”, while the letter “n” at the end is practically not pronounced. The name of the founder of the brand was Pierre Balmain.
Comme Des Garcons
The Comme Des Garcons brand is Japanese, but its name is French, so you should say “Comme de Garços? n". Without "s" in both cases and with an accent on "o". This is perhaps the strangest and most unusual brand that many street fashionists want to own.
Christian Louboutin
Of course, we can't ignore our favorite red-soled shoes! Christian Louboutin is usually pronounced "Christian Louboutin". It's easy to make a mistake though. Even in professional circles, you can hear "Louboutin", "Lobutan" or "Louboutin". In the pronunciation of the "red sole" we will not be mistaken for sure!
Giambattista Valli and Gianfranco Ferre
The seemingly complicated names Giambattista Valli and Gianfranco Ferre are not that difficult when it comes to pronunciation. "Giambattista Valli" and "Gianfranco Ferre" respectively. Excessive abundance of letters does not make it difficult to read correctly.
Hedi Slimane
But Hedi Slimane is also often called incorrectly. But everything is simpler than it seems: Hedi Slimane, not Hedy Slimane.
Burberry Prorsum
We manage to make mistakes with Burberry Prorsum. Now we sound like "Barbary Prorsum", then like "Burbary Prorsum". But it's not the same song. "Burberry Prorsum" - put a tick and remember ..
Mary Katrantzou
Mary Katrantzou was born in Greece but works in the UK, where she is known as "Mary Katranzou". This brand is loved by young fashionistas around the world. Mary is also known for her numerous collaborations with other fashion brands and mass markets.
Well, the list is rather big. But these are far from all names and fashion houses with complex pronunciation and interesting history. To keep up to date and not fall into the mud face in some fashion boutique, before going to the store, go to the Internet and read a couple of new names in the fashion world.
For fans of Louis Vuitton, a video to practice pronunciation

Who among us girls does not like to show off to a friend an expensive purchase made in a designer boutique or an elite online store? But here's the twist: most of us don't know how to pronounce correctly the names of all the brands or shoes that we buy for fabulous money. Wanting to arouse admiration in the interlocutor, we, on the contrary, find ourselves in an awkward situation. Maybe in the case of Chanel, Prada, Escada, Gucci, a minority will make a mistake, but with rare brands with complex names, the majority has a hard time.

Dsquared- the complex name of this Italian brand is a play on words that reads like "DiscuErt".
Emilio Pucci— Emilio in this case it is Pucci with an emphasis on the first syllable, but not Pucci or Pukki.
Etro- the Italian brand has an emphasis on the first letter, therefore “Etro”, and not “Etro”.
Herm è s- in Russia long time this brand was referred to only as "Hermes", although the correct version, taking into account French phonetics, would be the shorter name "ErmE" with an emphasis on the last syllable.
