MILAN — Giorgio Armani, the legendary Italian designer whose understated elegance reshaped modern fashion and brought Hollywood glamour into everyday wardrobes, has died at the age of 91, his company confirmed Thursday.
Armani, born in Piacenza in 1934, founded his namesake label in 1975 and went on to build one of the world's most powerful fashion empires. Known for his clean lines and muted palette, he popularized the unstructured suit, replacing stiff tailoring with softer silhouettes that became a symbol of effortless sophistication.
