REALTOR.COM: Famed fashion designer Giorgio Armani has died at the age of 91, less than three months after he was reported to have been suffering from an unspecified health condition that prevented him from attending his Milan Men's Fashion Week show for the very first time.
Armani's passing in his hometown of Milan, Italy, was announced in a statement shared by his eponymous company, which revealed that the style icon was "surrounded by his loved ones" when he died.
"Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones," a translation of the statement, which was written in Italian, reads.
It went on to note that the brand founder worked "tirelessly" until his "last days," while praising his "vision that expanded from fashion to every aspect of life."
The statement also paid tribute to Armani's enduring love of Milan, where his brand was headquartered and where he himself had spent much of his life, having moved there after serving in the military after studying at university for two years. » | Charlie Lankston | Thursday, September 4, 2025
