When you talk to your friends about fashion, have you ever had a problem pronouncing some of the brand names? I have heard someone said “Louisss Vitone”! Not quite acceptable to me.

Here’s a list of brand names that I often hear people pronouncing them wrong.

• Bottega Veneta (Gucci Group) - VEN-e-ta instead of VEN-ET-TA
• Alber Elbaz for Lanvin - al-BEAR el-BAHZ for lon-VAN
• Byblos - Bee - blos
• Bulgari - BOO - GA - Ree
• Givenchy - Gee-Von-Shee
• Jean Paul Gaultier - zhan paul GO-tee-AY
• Loewe - Lo-wee
• Nicolas Ghesquière - NEE-ko-la guess-KYAIR
• Louis Vuitton - Loo - wee - Vwee - taan
• Ungaro - OON-ga-ro
• Versace - ver-SAH-chay instead of Ver-sa-chee or Ver-sace
• Zegna - ZANE-ya instead of Zeg - naa

A little extra for Car Brands:

• Maybach - Mai - bak
• Renualt - Ruh-no
• Peugeot - puh-ZHO

What else do you often hear?
