"Very bad news, Armani has been number one for over fifty years, the pinnacle of Italian fashion in the world. He had a unique skill, exceptional for men’s but also for women’s fashion. An elegance and class of his own, Armani. There was no one like him and I think it will be a long time before anyone can reach the level of Armani, it’s not easy."

STORYLINE:
Italians are mourning the loss of Giorgio Armani, the iconic Italian designer who died Thursday. He was 91.

Armani, who turned the concept of understated elegance into a multibillion-dollar fashion empire, died at home “peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones,” the fashion house said.

Armani, one of the most recognizable names and faces in the global fashion industry, missed Milan Fashion Week in June 2025 for the first time during the previews of Spring-Summer 2026 menswear to recover from an undisclosed condition.

He was planning a major event to celebrate 50 years of his signature Giorgio Armani fashion house during Milan Fashion Week this month.
