The fashion world mourns the loss of one of its most influential figures, Giorgio Armani. The Italian designer, known as "Re Giorgio" - King Giorgio, passed away peacefully at the age of 91, surrounded by his loved ones in Milan.

Armani, who built an entire universe around his style, was a designer who admired the elegance of the 1930s, the decade in which he was born. His most significant interest lay in this era, which is evident in his timeless and sophisticated designs.

Throughout his illustrious career, Armani dressed celebrities such as Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, and Lady Gaga. His relaxed tailoring was famously admired, making him one of the most influential and globally famous designers of the late 20th century.

Armani was indefatigable, working until his final days. Melanie Rickey, Style Director at Good Housekeeping, described him as "always incredibly charming" and "incredibly thoughtful" when she met him on multiple occasions.

The Armani Group announced the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force. A private funeral at an unspecified date will follow the public viewing. Donatella Versace led the tributes to the fashion icon, describing him as a "giant" who made history and will be remembered forever.

Giorgio Armani's funeral was planned as a private ceremony by his family. It took place on Monday, September 9, 2025, in Rivalta, Italy, with close friends and family attending. The company set up a funeral chamber on Saturday and Sunday in Milan for fans and admirers to pay their respects.

Armani was known for his involvement in every aspect of his business, from advertising to fixing models' hair as they head out on to the runway. He was one of a kind, and his legacy will live on in the fashion industry for years to come.
