i wouldn't worry, there's only two labels you mentioned that are worth wearing in the practical sense) anyway, and they each are pronounced as they are spelled.

how is INDIGO pronounced in English?

(een-dee-go) ?? Second syllable stronger?

and DENIM? (the-neem) ??

thanks.

" INN - deh - gow" - Not sure what your native language is Geowu, but in English, a lot of times the letter "i" is pronounced very closely to how other languages pronounce "e". It's not pronounced "ee". The sound comes from closer to the front of your mouth.

Quote: and DENIM? (the-neem) ??

"DEH - nimm" (the i in Denim is pronounced the same was as the "i" in Indigo"

It's Miyake, not Mayake. Therefore "Mee - Yah - Keh" (ends with a glottal stop)

"Joon - yah" "Wah - Tah - Nah - Beh" (also ends with a glottal stop)

"Comb" "deh" "Gah® - sohn" (very soft, almost absent "r" sound)

"Hell - met" "Lay - ng"

I think it's (not sure) "jhonn" (very soft j sound) "Pol" "Gol tee ay"

"Eh - dee" "Slee mahn" is how I've heard it, but I haven't asked a french person to pronounce it for me.

I'm from England, so I could well be wrong in the eyes of Americans, but on our little island:

Indigo --> IN-digo (stress on the IN, g pronounced hard as in "dig")

Denim --> DEH-nihm

And, Comme Des Garcons, well, as a native French speaker I know it's a butchering, but in an English/American accent it comes out something like com-deh-gahr-sohn

Hah, wildwhiskey beat me to it

The h is silent

So, if you're going for French with an American/English accent, it's "om" (short o as in "Tom")

Or for the more authentic accent, "oemme" (think "erm", but without the r sound)
