A-Z Designer Pronunciations

Many famous fashion designers are French, Spanish, or Italian and people tend to pronounce them incorrectly. But don't worry, you're not the only one. I have personally messed up on a lot of designer names in the past. I have done my research and I am here to clear the air. So whether you are into fashion or not, you will know how to say them correctly. Knowledge is key after all.
