Renowned Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani has sadly passed away.
Italian fashion icon Giorgio Armani has sadly passed away at the age of 92. Known as a maestro in the fashion industry, Armani founded his eponymous fashion brand in 1975 and built a renowned fashion house that has been a staple in the industry for over five decades.
Born in Italy, Armani initially pursued a career in medicine, enrolling in the medical faculty of Milan University. However, his service in the army interrupted his medical studies. After his military service, Armani found his true calling in fashion.
Armani's fashion brand is renowned for its commitment to promoting a healthy image in the fashion industry. In 1993, Armani implemented a ban on models with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 16 for his shows and brand projects, becoming one of the first designers to pioneer the fight against excessive thinness in the industry.
Just a few weeks ago, Armani missed the final show of Milan Fashion Week for the first time in five decades due to health issues. Sadly, these health problems proved to be fatal, as Armani passed away a few weeks before the 50th anniversary of his fashion label.
The news of Armani's death was reported by Italian media, with tributes pouring in from the fashion world. Armani leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered for his commitment to promoting a healthy image in the fashion industry and his contributions to the world of fashion.
Rest in peace, Giorgio Armani. Your impact on the fashion industry will never be forgotten.
