i learned how to pronounce "Moschino" from the Biggie song

"..my Moschino h**, my Versace hottie..."

and then you had LilKim talkin' about "Jivenchee socks.." No wonder she wound up in lock-down..

But in response to the last post..
Branquinho: from what Ive heard, its Veir-oh-neek Brahn-kee-no..I know its somewhere else here in this thread..

What about Andrew Gn? Gn, as in "gene", "geen" ??

I read in a post earlier in the forum how someone's friend said gukki instead
of goo-chee
gukki is yucky!

Gn is pronounced Gen. I don't know where I read that but I think in a Vogue article years ago.

What about Krizia? I thought it was pronounced Kreet-zee-ah, but noones talking about Krizia anyway.

Is that how you pronounce Loewe? It just seems...wrong, how can you get soo many sounds out of L-o-e-w-e, isn't Loewe French?

OH! I know this TWO!

Krizia ir pronounced like "kreet-see-ah" ... you see... you pronounce this "t" that doesnt show on the spelling!

And Loewe .. well.. its a spanish brand but its pronounced like in german "loh-eh-vah"

Hope I helped!

[Baizilla]

In.. uhm... New Year's Eve

Hermes = Er-mez

Is that right?

Er-may. There is an accent on both e's in Hermes. The s at the end is silent.

Gn is pronounced like wen (rhymes with pen) same as the vietnamese name Nyugen.

Dole (as in the fruit people) Che (as in Guevara) and (as in sand) Gah - bah - nah

^ You were very precise. Thanks!

Are you sure about the Gn? Because I'm almost positive it was in Vogue that I read to pronounce his name 'gen'

Random: Kiton. I pronounce it like kai-ton in my head but it could be 'kitten' or 'keeton'
