Well... I'm always confused about Proenza-Schouler ... some people say Skool-er and others Shoe-ler.

I remember seeing a little article on this somewhere, some of the worst mis-pronunciations of designer names by Americans. It was like Wives Saint Lawrent and things along those lines, I swear, you could almost hear the horrible Long Island jap woman accent to go with the names.

 Chanel, channel, and nore of others  ...they do it to tease me though, but I used to take french, so I have all my designer pronunciation skills sharped at it's best
