@@eri6656 English is a very easy language. Not many words, including that particular name, are that hard that you would need a video to see how to pronounce it.
Eva Edrén to be correct (i'm dutch speaking, i'm from Flanders) it's pronounced as 'vahn', but i didn't bother correcting it because it wasn't really that bad
Ya'll should realize this video isn't only for english people. Alexander McQueen is hard to pronounce for other country especially for french people since they have a hard time pronouncing when two or more consonant are in the same spot together so 🤷🏻♀️
skinny shishtar The Cajuns don’t have that problem either, nor did any of the French speaking Djiboutians that I’ve met. It’s amazing how many dialects there are for one language. Fashion and shipping will take you to places that speak the ‘same’ language on paper, but articulate quite differently, or even change words entirely.
As +Emma X said many people in foreign countries mispronounce Nike. I'm from Ecuador and here people say Nike, like bike, and when I try to pronounce Nikee they don't get me. :(
+Kaitlyn Fajilan hahaha I think so, but actually that is not false anymore, it is the way the models pronounce it by their mother tongue, and the pink-lips guy is an English-speaking guy
+Jessica Sebastião understandable, but I think it's just confusing because the whole purpose of the video is to give definitive pronunciations on hard-to-pronounce names. But how are we to know which way to say them if we're given conflicting pronunciations? I just think it was lazy on the part of the creators. They should have made sure the models' pronuncations were uniform and accurate.
+Faith Lapri I feel like the girl who said Oswald Helgasson was pink lips though... anyway, OP (Kaitlyn) they're just trying to show the general gist of it. For example, not everyone knew that the 'h' in hermes isn't pronounced, or that loewe is pronounced 'lo-eh-ve' I mean, the whole time, I'd been pronouncing it "low" because my primary school principal was miss loewe and pronounced 'low' ahahha
Pronounciation aside, I find this video absolutely fantastic. Marvelous use of visuals, music and minimalistic, but very efficient special effects based on creative use of typefaces and transitions. Excellent make-up and stylization. Whole production looks simple but there's a lot of hard work behind it.
Tiffany Seo Rei Kawakubo was also wrong. its not rray. its more like lei. also Jonya Watanabe is wrong. To be honest, Japanese is tonal language so all of Japanese brand pronounciation sounds weird for natives.
Should have included Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Herve Leger, Zuhair Murad, Ulyana Sergeenko, Reem Arca, Elie Saab, Naeem Khan, Ziad Nakad and many more. . Very incomplete list.
+Jessica G. Exactly. Well almost. I would make 1 change tho: Since in Italian the "e" is always pronounced as "ay", I would say it's more like broo-skayt-tah. (And Italians ALWAYS pronounce both of the letters in a double consonant pairing like "tt". So that rhythmic lilt you hear is them pausing after the first t to differentiate it from the sound of the next t ;-)
Tricky Woo What? 😂 "E" in italian is simply "eh"(with some variations when it comes to accents). But the sound is not even close to be "ay". Bruschetta is pronounced "Broos-keht-tah".
"Hard" for people who only speak one language i.e. Americans lol also, a lot of them aren't even pronounced correctly. They're pronounced like an American would pronounce them.
Shit I love being Serbian. Croats, Serbs, Bosnians and "Montenegrians" can literally spell and say everything right, it's just that our language is like a neutral middle ground of all others, so we can look at any expression or language and copy it accent free into our minds and then speak it out of our mouths.
no I think they're Esmeralda Seay-Reynolds because at the name "Ostwald Helgason," the model doesn't move their lips, and the way the model and the lips say it are the same
These are just ways to pronounce names that don't make you sound too ridiculous when you're with fellow American people. The real pronunciations are way different.
Well the brand is actually called Saint Laurent or Saint Laurent Paris currently, so you don't have to worry about the Yves unless the new(ish) creative director Vaccarello renames the brand back with the Yves (: The YSL logo is only used for cosmetics and handbags + currently and it's said just as is, "Y S L."
+zanoa ses i didnt talk about spelling obviously he changed it as he lives and works internationally but the way they pronounce is not same as we(turks) pronounce.
sbtyfr i think its weird that he changed his name, who cares if he´s international. He was before with his real name. I smell something like, he´s ashamed of having a Turkish ethnicity.
+zanoa ses i cant comment if he is ashamed of or anything else because i have no idea but he is not the only one who does same thing to make others' life easier. for ex most of my Chinese friends have an English name and I don't think that they do it because they are ashamed of being Chinese
Ann demeulemeester is pronounced COMPLETELY wrong, and I know this for sure cause she has a dutch name and dutch is my native language. Edit: kris van assche is also wrong Edit: walter van beerendonck too
Ja, ze hebben alle vlaamse en nederlandse namen helemaal verkeerd gedaan, maar ja, Amerikanen zeggen ook "Van goo" ipv "van gogh" dus ik geef het al op.
Ahhh nooo this video makes a Prounanciation nazi mad :D the lips girl pronounces many names totally different than the other models and speaks with a French accent. No like here :(
Stephen Hawking can't really use his voice anymore so he uses a computer to get his point across. The computerized voice's tone is pretty similar to the one announcing all the letters as they come up.
To those who are confused: Linsey Wixson, who is narrating the video (She also appears at 2:39) has a slightly differently pronunciation for some designers because she uses the native French sounds. For example, Pierre Balmain was French, and he pronounced his name "Ball-mah", but in America, we say "Ball-main." While some of the other models do have slight accents from their homelands, they, for the most part, seem to be choosing the American/British pronunciations.
Is there somewhere I can buy the music in the background? Does the "song" have a name? I saw the music was only credited as "Tristan Bechet at Cadence NY." As a side note, this video is awesome. Really well done. I've watched it five times, and I was only here for one of the designers, lol.
in Brazil we pronouce it like ''nai' kee'' but not because we're super smart it's just because here we often pronounce all the words with a strong intonation until the end. Ex: RU-vid we say ''RU-vide'' ''Facebook'' we often say ''Facebookee'' etc. Anyways just a curious fact i wanted to share.

I remember when this came out and I was so happy because I was debating multiple people on the pronunciation of Givenchy. They were saying Givinchi. Shut them right the fuck up.
🤣 The models can pronounce brands! I kept waiting for the little model "centre for children who can't read very well" to come out and one of them smashing it. This is Zoolander part 3 🤣
