Giorgio Armani, the iconic Italian designer who is known for transforming global fashion with his unstructured tailoring, has passed away at the age of 91. He died at home in Milan due to an age-related illness. “With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani,” the fashion house said in a statement.
Giorgio Armani, fondly known as ‘Re Giorgio’—the king who brought modern Italian style and elegance to the global stage. A rare blend of artistic flair and sharp business acumen, his legacy goes far beyond fashion, shaping an empire worth billions and inspiring generations to come.
He has been recovering from illness in recent months and even missed his Milan Fashion Week shows in June. It was the first time he ever missed the runway. Some reports suggest that he had been planning a major celebration this month to mark the 50th anniversary of his fashion house.
Keeping Giorgio Armani’s wishes in mind, the funeral will be held privately.
A funeral chamber will be set up in Milan, at Via Bergognone 59, inside the Armani/Teatro. It will be open from 9 AM to 6 PM from September 6 to 7.
