"Giorgio Armani, the revolutionary designer who made his indelible mark on both fashion and interior design throughout his 50-year career, has died at the age of 91, his eponymous company announced on September 4, 2025. The billionaire businessman, who retained sole ownership of his company, was born on July 11, 1934, in Piacenza, Italy. Though it's hard to imagine now, Armani's career had humble origins: he got his start in fashion as a window dresser at a department store."
"The aesthete, who was known for his obsessive attention to detail, forever changed the silhouette of office fashion when he introduced his designs for unstructured yet sumptuous suits for both men and women, popularized in the 1980 film American Gigolo, which featured actor Richard Gere dressed in head-to-toe Armani. His clothing was featured in many iconic films and television shows that followed, including The Untouchables and Miami Vice. His designs quickly became a celebrity staple on the red carpet too."
Giorgio Armani died at age 91. He was born July 11, 1934, in Piacenza, Italy, and retained sole ownership of his company. He began in fashion as a window dresser and founded his luxury fashion house in Milan in 1975. He transformed office silhouettes with unstructured, sumptuous suits for men and women, notably popularized by the 1980 film American Gigolo and embraced across film and television, including The Untouchables and Miami Vice. He launched Armani/Casa in 2000, favoring simple, elegant, practical interiors that emphasize human presence. "A home is a nest, where the most important thing is not the surroundings, but who lives there."
