Imagine being surrounded by fashionistas in that hep party that you had been planning for months.Everything is purrrrfect! You are in that coveted Chanel dress carrying a Louis Vuitton clutch and when you open your mouth to flaunt about it....you just don't pronounce it right!!! OUCH! What an embarrassment right? And what makes matters worse is the bitch who corrects you!! Wish you could just disappear from there or go back in time and just don't say the word or maybe erase bits of the memory of people standing there...ANYTHING but this.
Ah! well trust me i totally understand because all of us have been in that situation at some point in our lives, sure things could have been less dramatic than the far fetched version above ( :p) but still it qualifies to be called an embarrassment. But to tell you the truth it's not really our fault because most of these names would be French or Italian and an average person in India does not know these languages well. But that should not stop us from trying to be correct, let's be more cultured and learn a few things because style doesn't end at clothes and accessories, it's equally about how you speak, carry yourself and your mannerisms.
With this view i thought i can start a post that can deal with pronunciations of famous brands as well as designers. And just like you can not build up your vocabulary in one day, you can't make your pronunciation better by reading a 100 new words at one go.So how will it work? Here's how...
I have started with four names in the Brand category and four in Designer category. On a regular basis I will update the same post so that you can check in and learn more. I hope you have fun because I had lots of fun researching about this post!
Good luck! :)
