New words

Not the typical day I was expecting. Some of the office staff were looking at other designer websites, to see how they are presented, along with what new products are out there. This is where I discovered for a very long time I have been saying some of my favourite designers names wrong!

Everyone in the office could not contain their laughter at the amount I pronounce wrong. Given they are all well spoken, and some from Spain and Italy. So I knew to listen to there pronunciations.
First of wall was Givenchy, I always said it how it was spelt. Turns out the correct way to say it sounds a lot nicer, and pronounced "jziv-on-shee." I must be one of the very few in the field to say this wrong.

Others included brands such as:

  • Louis Vuitton
  • Saint Laurent 
  • Moschino
Safe to say there has been a few I couldn't pronounce, at least I can now. And it brightened up everyones day.
