Giorgio Armani, the visionary Italian designer who ushered in a new era of minimal, elegant, and androgynous style while building a billion-pound luxury fashion empire, died on September 4, 2025, in Milan. He was 91.
“Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones,” read a statement from the company, which did not disclose a cause of death. “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,” his family and staff said.
