Giorgio Armani, the revolutionary designer who made his indelible mark on both fashion and interior design throughout his 50-year career, has died at the age of 91, his eponymous company announced on September 4, 2025. The billionaire businessman, who retained sole ownership of his company, was born on July 11, 1934, in Piacenza, Italy. Though it’s hard to imagine now, Armani’s career had humble origins: he got his start in fashion as a window dresser at a department store.
