As a French person: - Thierry Mugler: tee-eh-ree muh-glare - Nicolas Ghesquiere: Nicolas Gueh-kiaire - Sonia Rykiel: Sonia Ree-kiel - Balmain: Bahl-meh - Hermès: Her-mess - Comme des Garcons: Kohm deh Garsson (without the "n" at the end)
+Heather B My mom owns his Romance fragrance and will pronounce it that way when she talks about her go-to perfume. I really don't see there being a conflict with the difference, as thousands of people are probably pronouncing it the plain way all the time.
Almost all names that are not English/American are pronounced completely wrong here. If interested, go to Vfiles channel to get the right pronunciation.
Also, Gurung actually is pronounced Gooroong. I mean, idk, maybe Prabal wants to make Guhruhng official (I haven't heard him say it himself) but in Nepali, it's Gooroong ...
Gosh It's not hard to say Demna Gvasalia, sounds like for Americans everything is hard to pronounce, if it's not English. Very easy to read Georgian names, or Georgian in general. You read and pronounce the way, it's written.
LMAO!!! I loved this video!! I loved how she pronounced French names with a French pronunciation (even tho she forgot to pronounce Lanvin and Rykiel the French way..) :'D
Ahn Duh Meulen (pronounce 'eu' like how you would pronounce the 'i' in bird) mehster. Not pronounced as the English Ann, not Mule, not meester. Just a little Flemish lesson--hope that helps! :)
it's not Vaaaaaaaaaaaali, it's Valli, short a, focus in the l's (that's exactly why there are two of them ;)) Also, no need to say Giambattiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiista - there is an emphasis on the i, but not a strech like this.
Ann Demeulemeester is definitely not pronounced as stated in this video. Not even close. There's actually a video on RUclips called "How to pronounce Ann Demeulemeester".
Some of the French brands are not pronounced correctly : Hermès not with a Z at the end but an S, it’s not Lanvine but Lanvin. Anyway, I’ll still pronounce Levi’s the French way cause it’s horrible in English.
Ralph Lauren was absolutely not wrong. It's an American designer with an American name, pronounced exactly like the two common names, Ralph and Lauren. Stop trying to make it "fancy," because it's incorrect. Lanvin was wrong though.
Lanvin pronunciation was horrendously wrong
Geovane Morgan pretty much all of the French ones were horrific!!
True.
I thought the same... it should sound something like saying „the wine“ in french but with „la“ instead of „le“. am i right?
ITS LAN VON GOD DAMMIT
Demna Gvasalia is a Georgian name, there are no silent letters in Georgian, soooo....
Bro, you can't give advice on how to pronounce these names if you can't pronounce them correctly yourself. Come on lady..
Exactly. Who died and put her in charge:)
its not "d-eee-mna " lol. its actually DEMNA. What you said is wrong is actually the right way to say it.
The pronunciation of Demna Gvasalia, I mean the one you claim to be wrong is actually very correct.
Lille Absandze the "g" is not silent?
Georgian so, no the g wont be silent.
Eric Wu what about the "v"?
its a light G and then a heavy va if u can imagine how that would sound like
Eric Wu I imagine it's the sound of hacking a lugi.
Was so waiting for the vetements
+Bethany H haha yes!!
Vet monts
Ve` te mon, as Demna says.
Vet mon
ve --te-- mon

wait, isn't the h in hermès silent?
Gustavo Borges indeed my friend
Rykiel is not a french name tho
An american expounds pronunciation .... The irony
Demna Gvasalia is pronounced not like Deemna Vasalia, but like Demna (e like egg, elephant) GGGGvasalia.
someone please make a fund for americans to learn some basic french vowells like it's not that hard it takes 10 seconds to learn jeez
fuck the way she pronounces ain makes me so angry lmao
Yeah no. No one cares about the french or anything French.
Please don’t let her leave you thinking that all Americans are this way:/
Enie Goetze all Americans aside from Cajuns since we speak better French than the French 😎
No ...we don't have to. And we don't go around being a pretentious jerk about how you say our words because you are French. Not a big deal
it actually is R(EE)kiel not RYkiel though !
Someone was telling me the other day it's Ralph Lau-REN
Haha I've heard people say that to.
+Heather Bennett no i have done extensive research on this topic and i can confidently say its pronounced lauren as in the girls name
+Heather B My mom owns his Romance fragrance and will pronounce it that way when she talks about her go-to perfume. I really don't see there being a conflict with the difference, as thousands of people are probably pronouncing it the plain way all the time.
They probably think that due to the pronciation of Sophia Loren.
Ralph even says it's just Lauren not Lau-REN

The Belgian names do not even come close to how you should pronounce them. But it was worth the try anyway.
So true

her cadence was so off that i found it comedic
"Smells like pizza in here"
*ignoring intensifies*
+playdohBABE i bet she is fired after the filming ahaha
+piloto haha they're best friends I'm sure she won't mind
Dying at the thought of "her-meez" (Hermes)
Every one just needs to go watch the i-D video on this
You got it wrong for, Thierry Mugler, Ralph Lauren and more.
A friend told me about a woman in a department store in Detroit wanting Arpege. She asked the salesgirl for "Our Piggie."
I would love to see vids of the man repeller offices ALSO YOUR CONTENT CALENDAR IN THE BACK IS THAT DRY ERASE? I need
Demna Gvasalia was actually wrong, because here in Georgia we pronounce each word just the way we write it
Lanvin & Sonia Rykiel were pronounced wrong.
I think Lanvin is more like: lawn van
LMAO!!! I loved this video!! I loved how she pronounced French names with a French pronunciation (even tho she forgot to pronounce Lanvin and Rykiel the French way..) :'D
hilarious....and weirdly entertaining.love it
you're doing such important work, keep it up. forget med school.
It wasn’t until Ralph Lauren I realized this entire video is invalid 😂
you actuality spelled Demna Gvasalia wrong it's Demna not [deeemna] it's Georgian name and in Georgian we dont have silent letters
wish you had stuck with the "pronunciation tools" on Demna Gvasalia, because that's exactly how it's pronounced.
im a spanish speaker and hearing you pronounce maria Cornejo made me question your pronounciation of the other names... jojo
L'Occitane. Lock-See-Tan.
Monique Lhuillier is Loo-weel-yehr. That's how we say it in the Philippines.
I'm surprised Moschino isn't in this video... I hear people mispronounce it all the time.
Every Designer Name You Can't Pronounce......and neither can you!
Im sorry Leandra, did I miss the part where you actually pronounced Loewe? Still don't know how to say it! xx
+Luz Kaplan Low-EV-ay :)
Male Model Corp 3 We'll have to agree to disagree.
no it is not!! it's LÖWE okay?? at leat that would be the correct pronounciation i don't know the designer
secondgradedropout lol it is not like low it's lo-eh-veh it's from Spain btw
Loewe is a German name (though it's a Spanish brand) so Male Model Corp 3 is correct -- it's /lo-e-ve/
...can't take my eyes of those pistachios in the background!!!
Loeffler Randall?
Demna Gvasalia is Demna Gvasalia. I am georgian and I know it 100%. We don't have silent letters. We pronounce every 33 letter, that we have.
Stop, this is so cute.
Forever21?
Goo roong’s totally fine
Okay idk about others but Demna Gvasalia is pronounced Demna Gvasalia. Why would G be silent lmao
Lanvin is pronounced Lawn-VAHN

You pronounced lanvin wrong :( it hurt my French soul
Hermes Balmain and Nicolas Ghesquiere too :(
anyone hoping for a Vetements pronunciation?
Vet-mahn. It's just French for clothing, I'm sure there are audible pronunciations on Google.
Prabal Gurung's Gurung is entirely incorrect. The right way to pronounce Gurung is the way she says to not pronounce it.
It's Goo-roo-ng .
call it ball mane cause we eat pizza for lunch... disrespect
Is this like a comedy video xD am I not getting a joke?
it's not Vaaaaaaaaaaaali, it's Valli, short a, focus in the l's (that's exactly why there are two of them ;)) Also, no need to say Giambattiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiista - there is an emphasis on the i, but not a strech like this.
you mispronouced Thierry...If you are going to do it, DO IT CORRECTLY!!!
So funny how americans still say it oddly not right. Just like Van Gogh. Vangou.
Thanks
the "p" is silent in comptoir des cotonniers
Actually Public School is pronounced PUBE-lick school.
You are punching way above your weight on this one.
Girl, you don’t know how to pronounce Sonia Rykiel then why are you even doing this
its not raikiel, its re kiel. lanvin is also wrong.
I thought Lanvin was “Lon-Von”?
Ann Demeulemeester is definitely not pronounced as stated in this video. Not even close. There's actually a video on RUclips called "How to pronounce Ann Demeulemeester".
Some of the French brands are not pronounced correctly : Hermès not with a Z at the end but an S, it’s not Lanvine but Lanvin. Anyway, I’ll still pronounce Levi’s the French way cause it’s horrible in English.
"I don't know, I'm not sure" - It's kind of pointless to post this if you're not sure about the pronunciations.
isnt it "Ralph La-Ren", not like "lauren" , Lauren Conrad
No. It's Lauren. Like Lauren Conrad.
Oscar de la Renta, Giuseppe Zanotti ^^
You do not pronounce giambattista as ghiambattista!

second ti me you pronounced gurung was correct
It's PRA-BAL GOO-ROONG
Lol. Demna Gvasalia is not Deemna, it's demna. And GVASALIA. With G.
Demna Gvasalia's correct pronunciation is the one you said was wrong :). the "right one is wrong. Its Demna not Dimna and G is not silent in Georgian
You should've said Vetements
This one is a mess.
How many guys what the other girls number?
Gurung is pronounced goo-roong. Prabal is a Nepalese and Gurung is one of the ethnic groups of Nepal.
Gu runnng ???? Nobody says that way.

LMAO the Ralph Lauren one though -__-

Ralph Lauren was absolutely not wrong. It's an American designer with an American name, pronounced exactly like the two common names, Ralph and Lauren. Stop trying to make it "fancy," because it's incorrect. Lanvin was wrong though.
