I hate dumb “reporters” who don’t do their homework. Annoying….

Bulgari? Are you serious? Oh my.

HAhah is that a dumb question ? I really wouldnt know is Bulgari a jewererly line or a country in eastern Europe.
Sorry if I sound really dumb.But hey your never to old to learn anything . Would someone please be so kind to enlighten me ?
Thanks xxx

guest at 12:38 – you must know it’s a jewelry line – or was that just a lucky guess? and the country in eastern europe is bulgaria

I don’t get it cause i always think Bvlgari is the Ancient Roman form for Bulgari. Their website also reads bulgari (www.bulgari.com)
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgari
or the joke lies somewhere else and i missed it?

uhh, it’s that bulgari designs jewellery, not apparel.

the joke is simple: bvlgari is a luxury goods/jewelry company in italy. they do not make dresses. the reporter clearly was covering an event to which she had no knowledge of what the sponser does, when it is her job to know.
the reason that the website is bulgari.com is simply because that is how it is pronounced. but the branding “logo” is bvlgari, the same way that chanel is interlocking “c”‘s or lanvin is “lanvin”.

This reminds me of a Fashionista’s “Furla thong” flub…

how embarassing! i would hate to be the reporter…

I hope the reporter got the ax for that. The first thing you learn in journalism school is: do your backgrounding!

OMG I just love your dress! Is that a Harry Winston? hahaha

‘the reason that the website is bulgari.com is simply because that is how it is pronounced.’ – Not true.
Bulgari is the family name of the founder, Sotiro Bulgari. Anything lower-case is still spelled the same way as the family name. The brand name, remains in upper-case BVLGARI.

guest 10:20, i’m impressed. love that kind of trivia, thank you.
