Renowned Italian fashion designer and entrepreneur Giorgio Armani passed away on September 4, 2025, at the age of 91, leaving behind a legacy of timeless elegance and sophistication. Armani’s impact on the fashion world was profound, transforming the way men and women dressed with his modernist approach to tailoring.
Armani’s designs were revolutionary, empowering women with powerful suits and redefining menswear with relaxed, deconstructed tailoring. His influence extended beyond the runway, shaping the way people live, work, and interact. As a testament to his enduring style, his brand became synonymous with luxury and refinement, adorning red carpets and Hollywood stars.
The fashion community and beyond mourned Armani’s passing, with tributes pouring in from industry giants and fans alike. Donatella Versace praised him as a “giant” who “made history and will be remembered forever”. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni honored Armani’s contributions to Italian fashion, calling him “an icon, a tireless worker, a symbol of the best of Italy”.
Armani’s legacy extends far beyond his designs. He was a pioneer in promoting positive body image, banning underweight models from his runway shows after the death of model Ana Carolina Reston in 2006. His commitment to innovation and excellence earned him numerous accolades, including the French Legion of Honour and Italian Order of Merit for Labour.
Throughout his life, Armani remained dedicated to his craft, working until his final days on new collections and projects. His company, valued at over $12.1 billion, is a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and vision. As a keen sports fan, Armani supported Serie A football team Inter Milan and owned the Olimpia Milano basketball team, also partnering with Scuderia Ferrari F1 team.
A funeral chamber will be open in Milan on September 6-7, allowing fans to pay their respects to the legendary designer. As the world bids farewell to Giorgio Armani, his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of designers, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the art of elegance and refinement.
