"It&amp;#x27;s OK. Sometimes designer names are really hard to pronounce and we&amp;#x27;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;#x27;s really &amp;quot;toe-may.&amp;quot; (Luckily, I never verbalized the label&amp;#x27;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;#x27;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. &amp;quot;Mary Cat-rant-so?&amp;quot; Gillian asks about Mary Katrantzou. &amp;quot;I love her clothes. I&amp;#x27;m terrified to say her name. Out loud.&amp;quot; Gillian Jacobs in a House of Holland resort 2014 dress and, yup, Stuart Weitzman nudist heels in navy The clip below is awesome for two reasons. One: to sneak a peek at the contents of Gillian&amp;#x27;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;#x27;t actually pronounce a designer name, confronting the overalls trend, and&amp;amp;#8212;for you Community fans out there&amp;amp;#8212;what Britta would steal from Gillian&amp;#x27;s closet and vice versa. GLAMOUR: What advice would you give to a shopper who wants to ask for, say, a Mary Katrantzou or Suno dress, but they&amp;#x27;re not sure how to pronounce it? Like what&amp;#x27;s the best way to fake that you do know how to say it? Gillian 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;#x27;t be intimidated. Just be honest! In all seriousness, who are your favorite designers/labels, hard to pronounce or not? GJ: I love Opening Ceremony, Kenzo&amp;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;#x27;t get enough of include Tanya Taylor, Building Block, Clover Canyon, The Common Knowledge, and my buddy Rachel Antonoff. What trends and pieces are you looking forward to wearing this season? GJ: 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;#x27;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. For the Community fans out there&amp;amp;#8212;your character Britta has really good outerwear, like cool moto jackets, etc. What&amp;#x27;s your favorite look for her? What do you think she&amp;#x27;d wear from your real-life closet? GJ: Speaking of Britta&amp;#x27;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;#x27;s wardrobe, but I&amp;#x27;m afraid she would think Gillian is too girly. I like dresses and skirts! Watch 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. What names do you have a hard time pronouncing? Are you wrestling with the overalls trend too?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
