Italian fashion designer and billionaire Giorgio Armani has passed away at the age of 91
Renowned for redefining Italian style and elegance, Armani transformed men’s and women’s suits for a modern audience and built a fashion empire that expanded into beauty, fragrance, music, sports, and luxury hotels.
His company generated over £2 billion annually.
In a statement on its Instagram page, the Armani brand said the designer “worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections and the many ongoing future projects.”
He was described as “indefatigable to the end” and “driven by relentless curiosity and a deep attention to the present and to people.”
Armani was a pioneer in the industry, elevating red carpet fashion and championing model welfare, famously banning underweight models from the runway following the death of Ana Carolina Reston in 2006.
