Giorgio Armani, the visionary Italian designer who transformed fashion with his philosophy of understated elegance, has died at his Milan home aged 91. The Armani Group confirmed his peaceful passing on Thursday, surrounded by loved ones, marking the end of an extraordinary 50-year career that redefined how the world dresses.
The designer, whose empire was valued at over £8 billion at the time of his death, remained creatively active until the very end, having presented his final collection just months earlier. His death comes as Milan Fashion Week was preparing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his eponymous label.
