"The designer, who died on September 4 at his Milan home at the age of 91, was born in nearby Piacenza, Italy, in 1934. His childhood took place under the shadow of World War II, and in 1957, he took a job at a Milan department store, putting him on the path to becoming one of the most celebrated and influential fashion designers of all time."
"In 1975, he and his partner Sergio Galeotti launched the Giorgio Armani company, kickstarting his rapid ascent into fashion and, later, interior design via his interiors brand, Armani/Casa. Upon his death, he left behind a fortune that Forbes estimates at $12.1 billion and a collection of luxurious homes around the world. Over the years, AD visited the couturier at no less than six of these residences (including one floating one), learning more about his design philosophy each time."
