“He is a great man, we were clients for a lifetime. I came all the way from Turin to say goodbye to him. I also had the satisfaction of meeting him in person.

STORYLINE:
Thousands of mourners stood in line Sunday to pay their last respects to the Italian fashion legend Giorgio Armani.
It was the second day of public viewing.
“I think he should be an example for us, for all of us, for Italy, for the future,” said Christian Moncada as he waited in line. “We should always remember him for his incredible ability to be great in his simplicity.”
Armani will be buried in his home town of Piacenza in northern Italy following a private funeral on Monday.
Giorgio Armani, the iconic Italian designer who turned the concept of understated elegance into a multibillion-dollar fashion empire, died Thursday, his fashion house confirmed. He was 91.
Armani died at home, “peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones,” the fashion house said. “Indefatigable to the end, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections and the many ongoing and future projects.”
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.
Condolences and remembrances poured in from political leaders and other Milan fashion designers.
