Giorgio Armani, the renowned Italian fashion designer who revolutionized the fashion industry with his understated yet elegant style, has passed away at the age of 91. Armani died peacefully at home, surrounded by his loved ones, according to a statement from his fashion house. The designer, known for his iconic ready-to-wear collections, had been working until his final days, dedicating himself to the company and its many projects. Armani’s absence from Milan Fashion Week in June 2025 sparked speculation about his health, and his death comes just before a major event to celebrate 50 years of his signature fashion house. “Giorgio Armani was a giant in the fashion industry, and his legacy will be remembered forever,” said Donatella Versace, a fellow fashion icon. “The world lost a giant today. He made history and will be remembered forever,” she added. Julia Roberts, who famously wore an Armani suit to the 1990 Golden Globes, paid tribute to the designer, posting a photo of the pair together with the text: “A true friend. A Legend,” followed by a broken heart emoji. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, who often wore Armani’s business attire, remembered the designer for his “elegance, sobriety, and creativity,” saying he was “a symbol of the best Italy.” Armani’s impact on fashion was immense, and his designs continue to be celebrated around the world. He built a fashion empire worth over $10 billion, which includes clothing, accessories, home furnishings, and more. His designs have been worn by countless celebrities and dignitaries, and his name has become synonymous with style and sophistication. A public viewing will be held in the Armani Theater on Saturday and Sunday, where fans and friends can pay their respects to the legendary designer. The funeral will be held privately, with no details released.
