The Armani company, based in Milan, was founded 50 years ago and has since grown to include multiple fashion brands, beauty products, and hotels. Known affectionately as “Re Giorgio“, King George, his keen eye for design and business sense propelled the company to become a multibillion-dollar empire. Armani’s passing is not only a loss for the fashion industry but for the world of business as a whole.
In a press release, the Armani Group shared that the designer passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, and continued to work until his final days. He was dedicated to his company and its projects, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire and influence future generations.
