Hi cfew,

Living in the Middle East, the name Eskandar is quite popular. Since
Eskandar the designer is Iranian, I am sure it would be pronounced as
below:

"Ess-kan-dar" (with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable.)

In the Arab world, it is sometimes pronounced "Skan-dar", emphasizing
the 1st syllable.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
Rainbow

"Eskandar" is Alexander the Great's name in Persian. I assume that
pronounciation is approximately "as-kun-dar" (with the "ar" part at
the end sounding like the English "are"). Alas, I can't prove it, so
I'll leave answering this to my colleagues.
