Top Fashion Designers Pronunciation Key

I just found a fantastic pronunciation guide for all of the high-end fashion designers (i.e., Italian and French) in order to settle a small bet (see how good you are or thought you were! http://fashion.about.com/cs/designers/l/blpronounce.htm).


Ermenegildo Zegna is arguably the most formidable as far as top designers' pronunciations go. In case you're wondering, it's pronunced Er-men-e-jil-do Zen-ya. Of course, you could always make the argument for Yves Saint Laurent, whose difficulty in pronunciation greatly depends on whether you've taken French or been to France.

I still think Pellegrino has the best tag line of all time: "Whatever language you speak, live in Italian."
