“How To Pronounce “Hermès” & More Fashion Brands
Hermès
In the wide, glitzy world of the fashion industry,
fashion houses
reign supreme. And for many, many years, these fashion houses
have been shaping and reshaping this influential industry one
design after another. In case you didn’t know, the world's first
luxury design house, which is by the way still in operation and
in vogue today, was actually founded in 1837. Nope, that is not
a joke, not even a hoax. That house is known as “La Maison
Hermès” or as we usually hear of as “Hermès.” Do you know how to
say this big-name brand? Hermès is a
French name
so the first letter h is silent and the last letter s is more of
a z sound; therefore, you say Hermès as /ehr-mez/. Can you say
Hermès very fast five times without
twisting your tongue?
Hermès is just one of the plethora of fashion brands out there.
There’s Balenciaga and Chanel and Dior and Louis V (Louis
Vuitton) and Givenchy and Gucci and the list goes on. You can
even say that these brand names have frequented your eyes and
ears as they have been prancing around online and offline
platforms. The question is do you know how to properly say these
brand names as they’re
meant
to be said? Hmm, find out as you scroll below this small
