Need some help pronouncing Designer Names? Who doesn't? Valet, almost a year in action, is a men's lifestyle magazine bringing you the how-to's and handbooks of all things curiously practical. Yeah, it's "men's lifestyle", but I'm EASILY entertained with posts like these. Here's a clip...I'm taking notes:
- Bottega Veneta: BO-teg-a VEN-eta
- Burberry Prorsum: BUR-bur-ree proar-SOME
- Comme des Garçons: Comb day gar-SON
- Dries Van Noten: DREEZE van KNOW-ten
- Givenchy: Zshee-VON-she
- Hedi Slimane: Eddy slim-MAHN
- Hermès: AIR-mehz

LOVE IT. Thank goodness I've never had to pronounce Givenchy aloud - I would've looked like such a dork.
i remember shopping with my boss once and she yelled out to the counter gal, "do you have any of these give-en-chee earrings with green in 'em?!" the funny thing is the counter girl pronounced it exactly the same. i didn't have the heart to say anything.
lol ok I was totally off on the Givenchy..thanks for filling me in!
how hilarious but awesome at the same time! I must admit that Dries Van Noten gets me every time!
i love valet. it's a great site!
