how about carine roitfield?

 

[ilaughead]

^I've always wondered about her name, too.

 

[La bordélique]

Kah-rheen. Ro-ah-t. Fell-d.

 

[northern_song]

I know this was covered a few pages back but is Hedi Slimane said "Edie" or "Eddie"?

 

[smashinfashion]

i thought it was "head-e", but is the "h" silent?

 

[SevenWeeksLater]

Isn't it Slee-main?
I was wondering because of that House of Holland t-shirt...
Give me pain, Hedi Slimane... shouldn't it rhyme?

Im wondering about the last name too.

 

[La bordélique]

Im wondering about the last name too.

I figured it out. The person who made the slogan on the t-shirt just made a mistake.

 

[samanthay]

^ good conclusion!!

 

[ilaughead]

i thought it was "head-e", but is the "h" silent?

Yup. The 'h' is silent, so it's just 'Eddie.'

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac How do I say the last name? Isnt it similar to Casablanca?

This is probably an easy one, but Anya Hindmarch? Is it pronounced just the way it's spelt?

Cassel Bai Jack (roll the J and Bai as in Bai Ling)

how about Henrik Vibskov?



Please help! I just bought it for a store and want to be sure I am saying his name right!!

 

[fashionicon]

I pronounce Rodarte -Ro-dot. Wondering if the "r" is silent... Is that correct?

 

[Party.in.Paris]

Cassel Bai Jack (roll the J and Bai as in Bai Ling)

it's more like:

cass tell bah jack ( soft J in jack)

 

[ilaughead]

I pronounce Rodarte -Ro-dot. Wondering if the "r" is silent... Is that correct?

I think I've heard that it is actually Ro-dart-e, just like it's spelled. I could be mistaken, however.

how about Henrik Vibskov?



Please help! I just bought it for a store and want to be sure I am saying his name right!!

I am pretty sure it's pronounced just like it looks... like:
"Hen" (like the bird) "rick"
"Vib" (as in fib) "Skav" (with the a being like ah!)


Does anyone know about Marjan Pejoski? I think I read somewhere that Marjan is said like "Marian" but can anyone confirm this?

I did a search thread on Hermes and got a lot of conflicting information.
It seems to be air-mez.
Now I just want to know why the s doesn't get pronounced. Is it because an è with no consonant after it just sound dumb?
