Perhaps this would help : http://fashion.about.com/cs/designers/l/blpronounce.htm That way you can hear it instead of just read it.

I always heard it pronounced,

gee - von - she

But the "g" is even pronounced softer than in the English language, almost like a cross between the English language soft "g" and "sh". Think about the movie "GiGi"

I'm not sure if I explained that well.
