CQTV: Tricky designer names made easy

Prepare your eyes for this video, which has been described as 'David Lynch on acid teaching your French class'!

In this clip Kelly and I cover all the the hard-to-pronounce names in fashion, from Yves Saint Laurent to Jean Charles de Castelbajac it's all you'll ever need! I go through all the French designers in my best français (I knew it was useful for something!) and Kelly runs through other tricky names from around the world. Let us know what you think, and have we forgotten anyone?

Great video guys, love the production on that! You should definitely produce more in that style!
I've heard people struggle with Givenchy (saying Givennccheee instead of Jeevonchee) and Guerlain...always the French names! Also Marchesssa instead of Markaysa for...Marchesa.
