Giorgio Armani passed away on September 4 at the age of 91. With him goes one of the last great masters of fashion, capable of redefining contemporary elegance and transforming tailoring into a true universal language of style.

From a difficult childhood to an international dream

Born in Piacenza on July 11, 1934, in an Italy marked by fascism and war, Armani always recounted with sobriety the harshness of his childhood: the shelters during bombings, the economic difficulties, the wounds left by a country in crisis. Experiences that, over the years, shaped his aesthetic rigor and determination.

An empire born from intuition

After his beginnings in the world of design and fashion, Armani was able to sense a new need: to lighten and make men's suits more flexible. Thus was born the "power suit", a symbol of success and refinement from the 1980s onwards, which would establish the designer as an international icon. From that moment, the Armani brand became synonymous with timeless elegance, capable of conquering cinema, Hollywood stars, and political leaders.

Forty years of empire and aesthetic revolution

Armani built a brand that is not just fashion, but a way of living and thinking. From deconstructed men's clothing to women's collections, to lifestyle with hotels, perfumes, and accessories.
