These are the fashion brand names we just can’t pronounce...

Debrett's published a list of fashion label names that we've been saying wrong this whole time...

From Moschino to Loewe, the fashion world is a linguistic minefield in which only the most diligent of us will emerge without getting tongue-tied.

Getting the name of the hottest new label wrong is a sin so bad it could get you thrown off the FROW, so thank goodness that etiquette authority Debrett's has a new guide to help us.

They’ve published a list of the top fashion labels that we Brits have been saying wrong this whole time, and some of the entries (how could we get Ralph Lauren so wrong?!) are surprising. We've also added a few more to the list because apparently, we are really falling short when it comes to our fashion brand pronunciation. Case in point: Adidas... yes, we've just found out that the right way of saying Adidas is actually ‘ah-dee-dahs’. Ok then.

1. Lanvin

Commonly mistaken for: 'Lan-vin' But actually it’s pronounced: 'Lahn-vanh'

2. Moschino

Commonly mistaken for: ‘Moh-shee-no’ But actually it’s pronounced: 'Mos-key-no'

3. Gieves & Hawkes

Commonly mistaken for: ‘Jeeves & Hawkes' But actually it’s pronounced: 'Geeves & Hawkes'

4. Hermès

Commonly mistaken for: ‘Her-mez’ But actually it’s pronounced: ‘Er-mess’

5. Ralph Lauren

Commonly mistaken for: 'Ralph-lo-REN' But actually it’s pronounced: 'Ralph LAUR-en'

6. Louis Vuitton

Commonly mistaken for: 'Loo-ee Vi-ton' But actually it’s pronounced: 'Loo-ee Vwee-tton'

7. Givenchy

Commonly mistaken for: 'Gi-von-shee' But actually it’s pronounced: 'Zjee-von-she'

8. Sonia Rykiel

Commonly mistaken for: 'Sonia Ry-kell' But actually it’s pronounced: 'Sewn-yah Ree-key-el'

9. Balmain

Commonly mistaken for: ‘Bal-mein’ But actually it’s pronounced: ‘Bahl- mahn’

10. Loewe

Commonly mistaken for: 'Lo-wey' But actually it’s pronounced: ‘Loh-wev-eh'

And here are a few others we totally struggle with…. Miu Miu – ‘Mew Mew’ Balenciaga – ‘Bal-en-see-agar’ Mary Katrantzou – ‘Mary Kat-rant-zoo’ Rodarte – ‘Ro-dart-ay’ Saint Laurent – ‘San Laur-ont’ Adidas - 'Ah-dee-dahs’

So now we know. Any other fashion brand names you’re struggling with? Tweet us at @MarieClaireUK and we will add them to the list.
