With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani.
Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones. Indefatigable to the end, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections, and the many ongoing and future projects.
The post also described Armani as a man who had a deep care for the community around him, especially for that of the city of Milan.
Over the years, Giorgio Armani has crafted a vision that expanded from fashion to every aspect of life, anticipating the times with extraordinary clarity and pragmatism. He has been driven by relentless curiosity and a deep attention to the present and to people. Along this journey, he established an open dialogue with the public, becoming a beloved and respected figure for his ability to connect with everyone. Always mindful of the needs of the community, he has been active on many fronts, especially in support of his beloved Milan.
Giorgio Armani is a company with fifty years of history, built with emotion and patience. Giorgio Armani always made independence – of thought and action – his hallmark. The company is, now and always, a reflection of this spirit. His family and employees will carry the Group forward in respect and continuity of these values.
While Armani was best known for the high-end fashion he created and cultivated throughout the world, he also previously noted in a 2010 interview with The Times that he believed in God.
“I believe there is a God. Sometimes I rely on him,” Armani stated.
Back in 2011, The Guardian also reported that an Italian bishop, Domenico Mogavero wore silk vestments by the designer.
“This is all not about having brands in church or indulging in the fashion of the moment, but about wearing something beautiful to give glory to God,” Mogavero said.
