Italian clothier Giorgio Armani dies at 91
Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani has died aged 91, the fashion house said in a post on social media on Thursday.
His company said that he was working up until his final days and died surrounded by his loved ones.
The cause of death was not immediately available.
For health reasons, he had been unable to attend the major shows in Milan and Paris for the first time in June and July.
But he was planning a comeback for September, as he had announced on his 91st birthday on July 11 through large ads in Italian newspapers.
Condolences poured in shortly after the news broke.
“The world has lost a giant today,” fellow Italian designer Donatella Versace wrote on Instagram.
“He made history and will be remembered forever.”
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also commented, “With his elegance, humility and creativity, he brought fame to Italian fashion and inspired the entire world. An icon, a tireless worker, a symbol of a better Italy. Thank you for everything.”
