Hey everyone, I wanted to address a mistake in this video where I mispronounced 'Hubert De Givenchy.' I genuinely apologize for this oversight. Pronouncing names correctly is crucial, especially when discussing icons like Givenchy. I regret any confusion or offense caused and will ensure better accuracy moving forward. Let's continue to honor Hubert de Givenchy's legacy with the respect it deserves. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.

I am French : please, do not apologize 🙂 Your pronounciation is good. Thanks for the video !

[@Lightonahill25]

Hubert de Givenchy is pronounced 'Ewbear deu JivahnSHEEE', You're welcome, I'm French; Also, dress designer/couturier is pronounced 'KootooreeAY'

Thank you for addressing this and being open to constructive criticism. A good rule of thumb with French pronunciations is that, typically, if a word ends in a consonant and is followed by a word that begins with a consonant then the consonant at the end of the preceding word is silent. Since "Hubert" ends in the consonant "t" and is followed by the "d" in "de" then the "t" is silent. That's why when you listen to someone speak French, it just flooows. No consonants butting up against each other.

Hey, I really appreciate French lesson! It's pretty obvious my French could use some polishing haha, but hey, that's all part of the learning journey, right? I'm all about that exchange of knowledge, and your explanation is really helpful! Learning from each other like this is what it's all about! Thank you !@@elinorregina

Very informative! thank you. One thing I learned about Audrey Hepburn (from the documentary about her on Netflix) was that she also knew how to carry herself from all her years of dancing. The ability to pose and move her body gracefully, along with the amazing designs from Hubert De Givenchy, made her truly iconic!

[@Nostalgicleigh]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it informative! Audrey Hepburn's grace and elegance, honed through years of dancing, coupled with Givenchy's exquisite designs, truly cemented her iconic status. It's fascinating how various aspects of her life contributed to her timeless allure.

The "t" in Hubert de Givenchy is silent. Otherwise, nice job.

[@revmiguel2000]

So is the “H”

[@susant700]

Oui; the "T" is silent. 😊

[@DrRichardMarques]

Nice job!! 👏

[@Nostalgicleigh]

Thank you! 😁

[@andrewbell7047]

Very interesting video and thanks for creating it. Just a small notation, Givenchy’s first name is pronounced Hubert without the “t”. Phonetically it’s pronounced “hUBear”. Nice video!

[@Nostalgicleigh]

Thank you! Obviously my French isn’t too good haha! 😅

[@adrienneabbott3530]

If you must speak of famous French designers, Please learn how to pronounce their name!! For Hubert, the T IS SILENT! HUBERE!

Audrey was painfully artificial in every role. Only she could reach such heights of phony it became risible. Her speech, expressions, every move reeks of pretense, affectation and artifice. I've religiously avoided most of the films in which she's appeared. In sum, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Holly was a made-to-measure role for her. Audrey was believably as the vapid and delusional Golightly character. This Hepburn ranks very highly in the worst Hollyweird actress category.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. It's interesting to hear your take on Audrey Hepburn's acting style. While I agree that she may not possess the same versatility as someone like Meryl Streep, I believe she brings a unique charisma to the screen that captivates many viewers. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" indeed tends to evoke strong reactions - it's a film that people either love or hate. Personally, I'm drawn to the fashion and Audrey's distinct personality in the movie, but I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's all about individual preferences and tastes in the end.

@@Nostalgicleigh What a lovely, reasonable person you are! What a treat to have my opinion count - it's so often censored - and to receive such a thoughtful and articulate reply.. I like her only in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" especially the scene when she learns of her beloved brother's death. It may be Glenn Close's scene in "Dangerous Liaisons" at hearing of Valmont's death was informed by watching Audrey's memorable performance. There is something heart wrenching in seeing both actresses depict in such a powerful way what it looks like to have one's heart utterly and irremediably wrenched. Again thanks! God Bless
