Givenchy

Cate Blanchett graced the Oscar's red carpet in a stunning Givenchy creation recently and audiences across America soon chimed in with their feedback. The gown was not completely understood by the general public but the composition, detail and construction was exquisite. This couturier is most often mis-pronounced within the United States. In fact it has been mis-pronounced so often someone created a You Tube video which is 7 seconds long that goes over the correct pronunciation. The video is below and has received over 46,000 views.
