A Legend’s Peaceful Farewell
The fashion world bids farewell to Giorgio Armani, who passed away quietly at age 91, his family and the Armani Group confirmed. The celebrated Italian designer died peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind an enduring legacy of elegance and good taste.
From Medicine to Milan Fashion Icon
Born in Piacenza in 1934, Armani initially studied medicine before shifting to fashion, beginning his career as a window dresser in Milan. He launched his eponymous brand in 1975, pioneering a timeless approach to menswear with soft tailoring and clean lines.
A Uniform of Power and Grace
He revolutionized women’s professional attire with the iconic “power suit” and won over Hollywood from American Gigolo to Miami Vice, elevating red-carpet fashion with androgynous elegance and understated glamour.
His Global Empire and Lasting Vision
Beyond clothing, Armani built a global empire encompassing Emporio Armani, Armani Privé, hospitality, home furnishings, and more. Despite health setbacks in 2025, he remained involved—working until the end, faithfully preserving his vision.
