lol this happened to me to when my Decollettes arrived at the office

I repeated Christian Louboutin but eventually gave up... they just don't get designers shoes

Leda, I'm trying to figure out the correct pronunciation for Decollete. Is this file still loaded?

rdgldy · Nov 2nd, 2008, 08:46 AM

day co(long sound of o)let-using my knowledge of HS and college french!

noah8077 · Nov 2nd, 2008, 10:51 AM

"De col tey" is what it sounded like to me on Leda's file. I have a hard time hearing the files though.

ledaatomica · Nov 2nd, 2008, 11:15 AM

the files should still be loaded and its sounds like what noah8077 says, which is also the same way you would pronounce and spell the decollete top of a dress.

jh4200 said that at the meet up!
She had me wondering and was totally right!

Thanks everyone!

jh4200 · Nov 2nd, 2008, 08:34 PM

Haha, I usually wonder myself. I always put a french flair on the names, because I minored in french in college and it's just what comes to my mind first. I usually tone it down when I speak to salespeople though because almost all of them Americanize the pronounciation. Thanks for the verification, leda!

This is immensly helpful...I don't deserve to wear them if I can't even pronounce their names!

I pronounce them "Lew-beh-TEN". I wanted to e-jot this, and now I will go back through the entire thread to see of I'm right or not.

(This is like a quiz-answer first, then find the correct answer)

JadeVetti · Feb 2nd, 2009, 06:30 PM

According to le Monsieur himself, he says it twice-he slowed it down, then said it regularly. I've been pronouncing it correctly then. (relief sigh)

Hello French speakers! How is Drapiday pronounced? Thank you!

madamefifi · Feb 2nd, 2009, 09:09 PM

Completely OT but re: the Oprah video....what is the name of the HOT Mary Jane-style shoes with the gorgeous web-like design on the toes, exactly 25 seconds into the video??

Hi - I speak French, but I always thought the Drapiday and Drapinight styles were named in English. I assumed Drapidays were for days and Drapinights were for nights!

If you were to pronounce it in French, it would be something like:

Drapp-e-dai
(roll your r, emphasize the p - I believe - French is not my first language though!)
