Giorgio Armani, the iconic Italian designer who redefined global fashion, passed away at his Milan home on September 4, 2025, aged 91. Founder of the Armani brand, he revolutionized menswear with relaxed tailoring and expanded into womenswear, fragrances, hotels, and interiors. Nicknamed “Re Giorgio” (King Giorgio), Armani personally oversaw every detail of his empire, which generates €2.3 billion annually. With an estimated net worth of $12–13 billion, he was among Italy’s richest. Despite recent health issues, he worked until his last days, planning Armani’s 50th-anniversary celebration. Tributes pour in, honoring him as one of fashion’s greatest visionaries. (PC: AP)
