Giorgio Armani, Legendary Italian Fashion Designer, Dies at 91
The fashion world is mourning the loss of Giorgio Armani, the iconic Italian designer who passed away peacefully at the age of 91 on September 4, 2025.
The Armani Group confirmed the news in an emotional statement:
“With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder and tireless driving force.”
According to the release, Armani “passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones,” noting that he worked until his final days—dedicating himself to the company, the collections, and the many projects he had in motion.
His employees and family expressed their grief, saying:
“In this company, we have always felt like part of a family. Today, with deep emotion, we feel the void left by the one who founded and nurtured this family with vision, passion, and dedication. But it is precisely in his spirit that we commit to protecting what he built and to carrying his company forward in his memory, with respect, responsibility, and love.”
A Life of Style and Innovation
Armani, who founded his fashion empire in 1975, revolutionized modern fashion with his minimalist, elegant designs. His unstructured jackets and timeless tailoring defined the power dressing of the 1980s and became staples on red carpets around the world.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Armani remained the sole owner of his brand, fiercely protecting its independence while building a global empire that spanned haute couture, ready-to-wear, accessories, fragrance, and even hospitality.
Final Farewells
A public funeral chamber will be held at Armani/Teatro in Milan on September 6 and 7, allowing fans and admirers to pay their respects. A private funeral will follow, in line with the designer’s wishes.
Giorgio Armani leaves behind a towering legacy in fashion-a legacy of elegance, simplicity, and vision that will continue to inspire generations.
