"It&amp;#39;s OK. Sometimes designer names are really hard to pronounce and we&amp;#39;ve all been there. For example, I kept pronouncing Tome in my head as &amp;quot;tome&amp;quot; (like a book), but it&amp;#39;s really &amp;quot;toe-may.&amp;quot; (Luckily, I never verbalized the label&amp;#39;s name to the designers.) And &amp;quot;Christian Louboutin&amp;quot; tends to throw even the chicest people for a loop (try this). Well, actress Gillian Jacobs is more than happy to admit to mangling a designer name or two. Or many more, as she&amp;#39;ll explain in the below exclusive Bluefly &amp;quot;Closet Confessions&amp;quot; video. But the fashion-loving Community star is refreshingly (and hilariously) up front and candid about her designer mispronunciations.\n&amp;quot;Mary Cat-rant-so?&amp;quot; Gillian asks about Mary Katrantzou. &amp;quot;I love her clothes. I&amp;#39;m terrified to say her name. Out loud.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookGillian Jacobs in a House of Holland resort 2014 dress and, yup, Stuart Weitzman nudist heels in navyThe clip below is awesome for two reasons. One: to sneak a peek at the contents of Gillian&amp;#39;s amazing closet, and two: to hear what other names she totally butchers. The down-to-earth actress also took a moment to answer a few of our questions, including how to fake it when you can&amp;#39;t actually pronounce a designer name, confronting the overalls trend, and&amp;#8212;for you Community fans out there&amp;#8212;what Britta would steal from Gillian&amp;#39;s closet and vice versa.\nGLAMOUR: What advice would you give to a shopper who wants to ask for, say, a Mary Katrantzou or Suno dress, but they&amp;#39;re not sure how to pronounce it? Like what&amp;#39;s the best way to fake that you do know how to say it?\nGillian Jacobs: I am very up front about about my inability to pronounce things correctly. I said real-uh-tor instead of realtor until about five years ago. I just admit I have no idea how to say Theyskens! Don&amp;#39;t be intimidated. Just be honest!\nIn all seriousness, who are your favorite designers/labels, hard to pronounce or not?\nGJ: I love Opening Ceremony, Kenzo&amp;#8212;anything Humberto Leon and Carol Lim touch. I drool over Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Delpozo, and Wes Gordon. Newer lines I can&amp;#39;t get enough of include Tanya Taylor, Building Block, Clover Canyon, The Common Knowledge, and my buddy Rachel Antonoff.\nWhat trends and pieces are you looking forward to wearing this season?\nGJ: I am wrestling with the overalls trend. I wore so many pairs in junior high and no one thought they were cute. Perhaps I&amp;#39;ll try them cuffed with a tasteful crop top? I really want a pair from ASOS. I am trying to break free from my stripes addiction, but the pull is strong! I need help buying non-stripes. I have some awesome shirts from Jonathan Cohen that have been in heavy rotation.\nFor the Community fans out there&amp;#8212;your character Britta has really good outerwear, like cool moto jackets, etc. What&amp;#39;s your favorite look for her? What do you think she&amp;#39;d wear from your real-life closet?\nGJ: Speaking of Britta&amp;#39;s motorcycle jackets, I just discovered a line, Veda, that makes awesome leather pieces. I think Britta and Gillian need a Veda leather jacket. Britta has worn a lot of awesome Isabel Marant and Carven pieces that I covet. I steal a lot from Britta&amp;#39;s wardrobe, but I&amp;#39;m afraid she would think Gillian is too girly. I like dresses and skirts!\nWatch the video below to see some fabulous pieces that Britta, I mean, Gillian has in her closet and what designer names she just cannot pronounce.\nWhat names do you have a hard time pronouncing? Are you wrestling with the overalls trend too?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
