We also got into an awkward situation because we mispronounced the name of a fashion designer while we were having a heated discussion about the quality of his latest collection. The editors of fashionista.com want to help with this avoidable problem, who, tired of the number of ways people try to pronounce the names of Nicolas Ghesquière, Erdem Moralioglu or Ryan Roche, have compiled a list that also includes the phonetic pronunciation of the designers' names.

Thanks to the list, it is likely that fewer and fewer people will mispronounce Olivier Rousteing's name or be embarrassed about how to pronounce the name of one of Princess Katalin's favorite fashion houses, Roksanda Ilincic. Here are some examples of the more well-known names, and by clicking here you will find the entire register containing 53 names (with English transcription. Below you will find a description in Hungarian).
