“Tireless, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, its collections, and the diverse and ever-evolving projects both existing and in progress.”
Often called “Re Giorgio,” or King Giorgio, Armani launched his fashion house in 1975. His sleek, understated designs quickly became a hallmark of modern luxury, shaping both fashion and lifestyle.
Armani’s breakthrough came in 1980, when his tailored suits were famously worn by Richard Gere in the film American Gigolo. The brand soon expanded into a global empire that spanned couture, ready-to-wear, eyewear, footwear, accessories and even home goods.
