How to pronounce designer names or some words in fashion can be a pain sometimes. I remember the first day I learnt the correct pronunciation of Lingerie {lon-zher-ee(Uk), lon-zher-ay(Us)},after years of reading it without actually trying to pronounce it. I felt so dumb that day because I’ve always heard it pronounced on tv but never realised it was the word ‘lingerie’ that was being pronounced. Sometime last year while watching one of the old seasons of ANTM, Tyra gave the girls a task to pronounce certain fashion and designer names. Most of them got the pronunciations wrong, I realised I couldn’t pronounce most of them correctly either so I decided to do a little research to improve my fashion lexicon and the very first word I learnt to pronounce was Hermès.
