Italian fashion icon Giorgio Armani dies At 91

Giorgio Armani, the legendary Italian designer whose name became synonymous with elegance, sophistication, and modern Italian style, has died at the age of 91, his company announced on Thursday.

“For more than five decades, Giorgio Armani was the driving force behind one of the most influential fashion houses in the world. With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless visionary,” the fashion house said in a statement.

Armani, known in Italy as “Re Giorgio” or “ King Giorgio”, built a fashion empire that generated more than €2.3bn ($2.7bn) annually.

Though unwell in recent months, Armani remained deeply involved in his business until the end, reports Reuters. In June, for the first time in his career, he missed Milan Men’s Fashion Week, a decision that underscored the seriousness of his health struggles.

He was the sole owner of his company, working closely with a loyal circle of family and longtime colleagues.

“We, the employees and family members who have always worked alongside Mr. Armani, commit to protecting what he built and to carrying his company forward in his memory, with respect, responsibility, and love,” the company said.

Armani was known to personally oversee not only his collections but also advertising, stage design, and even the appearance of models before they stepped onto the runway.

The company said a funeral chamber will be set up in Milan this weekend, with a private funeral to follow at a later date.
