Difficult Designer / Brand Pronunciation

[zendi]

can anybody tell me how to pronounce Hussein Chalayan??

 

[primrose_sg]

Hussein Chalayan--hOOsan shah-LI-on

 

[melt977]

Actually it's more like,

Who-saY-n Cha-la-yiA-n

...He is Turkish - Cypriot but since he is based in England I believe that he is more likely to be pronounced as ChA-la-yian

Beata Dirycz

Sta [like in stand, but with a more closed "e", not so open] - fa [the same "a" of "car"] - no Pee - lu [like in "luck"] - tee

Car - tee - e ["e" like in "pen"]

[em 692]

Lhuillier: loo-lee-a
...(same "a" as in "cake")

lol, this thread is extreemly helpful, but also making me second guess my pronounciation big time! so far im doing fine


actually, my worst has been gemma ward, i was never sure if it was J-emma or G-emma. i finally heard her say it herself 'J-emma'. that is seriously sad... but i was never sure

Stefano (Pilati) is pronounced as StE (the E is like Elizabeth)-fa-no. In Italian, all vowels are pronounced as seen..

But if an english-speaker read "fa" don't say "fa" like an italian person.

Has raf simons been done yet? Pronounced Raff See-mon..

 

[justinelm]

Lhuillier = Lu - 'e' - lee - hey --- the h is silent

I don't think there's an english equivalent to the 'u' in 'Lhu' or french 'rue'...
