We've all been there. You pool all of your money for the month on a gorgeous designer dress or custom tailored suit for a big event. You show up to said event, feeling like a million bucks, radiating your best possible self. Someone comes to compliment you, of course, and then asks, "Who are you wearing?"

You falter. Your heart pounds. Your palms start to sweat. You realize you have no idea how to actually pronounce the name of the designer, and now, in one second, you've been demoted from the king/queen of the palace to a complete and utter peasant fool.
