The fashion world has lost one of its most influential figures, Giorgio Armani, who passed away at 91. The Armani Group announced his death, mourning the loss of its founder. Armani was instrumental in elevating fashion, transforming clothes into luxury items and reshaping the public’s perception of style. He had been battling illness. Armani was unable to attend his first runway show in June due to his health. He was planning to celebrate a major achievement, with a significant event during Milan Fashion Week to mark his brand’s 50th anniversary. His influence extended beyond fashion; he worked personally with many veteran actors including Richard Gere in ‘American Gigolo’ in 1980.
