The Italian fashion world has lost one of its greatest icons. Giorgio Armani, a designer who became synonymous with elegance during a career spanning more than fifty years, has died at the age of 91.ancand luxury. The message is all the more powerful because Armani worked practically until the last moment – he was recently fine-tuning the collections for the fiftieth anniversary of his brand. He entered the world of fashion alongside Nino Cerruti, and in the 70s, thanks to the support of his friend Sergio Galeotti, he founded his own studio and gradually built the Giorgio Armani empire, which changed the rules of the game. The turning point came in the early 80s, when Richard Gere wore his jacket in the film American gigolo and Armani moved to Hollywood. Although he later faced personal tragedies, his work never lost its signature style and managed to reach millions of people around the world. Armani is rightly ranked among the most successful designers of all time and his legacy will resonate in fashion for many years to come.
