Fashion Language: A-Z OF PRONUNCIATION by models for i-D

Another awesome “A-Z from i-D”.   This time, top models help us pronounce designer names in A-Z OF PRONUNCIATION.  Lindsey Wixson and her iconic pout, Liu Wen, Sigrid Agren, Xiao Wen Ju, Grace Mahary, Tao Okamoto, Soo Joo and Grace Bol are some of the 26 fab models helping us through the fashion alphabet.   Check out the robot voiceover giving the phonetic pronunciation from Azzedine Alaia (AH’ZE’DEEN AH’LAI’AH) all the way through to Zegna (ZEN’YA).

The latest in the A-Z series confirms how global fashion has become by offering a “how-to” guide for anyone, anywhere in the world, wanting to know how top models tell their Proenza Schouler from their Thierry Mugler. The video was conceptualised by i-D, styled by Michelle Cameron, directed by Barnaby Roper and is i-D’s playful take on pronunciation that teaches you how to speak your international fashion alphabet.

ABOUT: Building its reputation as a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture, i-D began as a fanzine dedicated to the street style of punk-era London in 1980, and quickly earned its position at the vanguard of fashion and style, always abiding by the premise of “Originate. Don’t imitate.” i-D continues to encourage creativity, and after more than 30 years, its editorial content still manages to surprise and inspire. Since 2013’s digital relaunch, i-D has been redefining the landscape for fashion videos with intelligent, beautiful shorts utilising the best directors, talent, stylists and musicians working today.  Fashion Language: A-Z OF PRONUNCIATION by models for i-D selects by Brigitte Segura.
