The fashion house then confirmed the news on their Instagram, writing … “With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani.”
Per Armani’s camp, the celebrated designer “worked until his final days,” noting that his dedication to the company never wavered.
According to the AP News, the Armani founder also skipped a runway preview show earlier in the week due to an undisclosed condition. Though, he’s said to have kept a close eye on the show from a livestream … it was the first runway absence of his career.
He was surrounded by his loved ones when he “peacefully” passed.
While Armani is set to have a private funeral, fans of the fashion legend will be able to pay their respects this weekend, when a viewing will be held in Milan, Italy.
He was 91.
