Coccinelle – in the French manner “Koksinel”, and in the Italian “Cochinelle”. Apart from the fact that this is a French brand, but the word is borrowed from Italian, so it’s more correct – “Cochinelle”!
Moschino
Moschino – «Moschino»!
Nike
Nike — «Nike»! Yes, yes, not Nike at all! N
Hermes
Hermes – “Ermes”, and nothing else. Not “Hermes”, not “Hermes”! According to the correct transcription of this French brand, it should sound like Erme, but this is an exception to the rule.
