The death of Giorgio Armani, the salesman-doctor who sat on the throne of fashion.

Today, it was announced that global fashion icon, the famous Italian designer Giorgio Armani, passed away at the age of 91. Throughout his long career, he has remained one of the most prominent names in the fashion world, combining professional respect with artistic creativity, which is reflected in his work and partnerships.

The Armani Group issued a statement confirming that its founder passed away peacefully surrounded by his fans in Milan, noting that he was a tireless worker who continued to give back until his final days. The statement also explained that the funeral will be held on Saturday and Sunday in a private family setting, in accordance with his wishes.

Who is Giorgio Armani? Armani was born on July 11, 1934, and founded his famous collection nearly fifty years ago. Over time, it evolved into a brand that reflected his independent personality and unique vision. He was close to people, always in dialogue with them, and always committed to supporting his local community in Milan, becoming an icon not only of fashion but of humanity as well.

50th Anniversary Celebration To mark the 50th anniversary of the house, Giorgio Armani launched the ARMANI/Archivio digital platform, featuring thousands of authenticated original looks. The platform was launched during the Venice Film Festival on August 30, serving as a testament to a rich and unique legacy spanning decades.

Last June, Armani missed Milan Fashion Week for the first time due to illness, and details of his health have remained undisclosed since then. Today, the question remains as to who will succeed him in managing his empire, estimated to be worth between 8 and 10 billion euros, while no specific heir to this massive legacy has yet been announced.
