Milan, 4 September 2025 – With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani. Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones. Indefatigable to the end, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections, and the many ongoing and future projects. Over the years, Giorgio Armani has crafted a vision that expanded from fashion to every aspect of life, anticipating the times with extraordinary clarity and pragmatism. He has been driven by relentless curiosity and a deep attention to the present and to people. Along this journey, he established an open dialogue with the public, becoming a beloved and respected figure for his ability to connect with everyone. Always mindful of the needs of the community, he has been active on many fronts, especially in support of his beloved Milan. Giorgio Armani is a company with fifty years of history, built with emotion and patience. Giorgio Armani always made independence – of thought and action – his hallmark. The company is, now and always, a reflection of this spirit. His family and employees will carry the Group forward in respect and continuity of these values. The funeral chamber will be set up from Saturday, September 6th to Sunday, September 7th, and will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., in Milan, at Via Bergognone 59, inside the Armani/Teatro.

Milano, 4 Settembre 2025 – Con infinito cordoglio, il gruppo Armani annuncia la scomparsa del suo ideatore, fondatore e instancabile motore: Giorgio Armani. Il Signor Armani, come è sempre stato chiamato con rispetto e ammirazione da dipendenti e collaboratori, si è spento serenamente, circondato dai suoi cari. Infaticabile, ha lavorato fino agli ultimi giorni, dedicandosi all’azienda, alle collezioni, ai diversi e sempre nuovi progetti in essere e in divenire. Negli anni, Giorgio Armani ha creato una visione che dalla moda si è estesa a ogni aspetto del vivere, anticipando i tempi con straordinaria lucidità e concretezza. Lo ha guidato un’inesauribile curiosità, l’attenzione per il presente e le persone. In questo percorso ha creato un dialogo aperto con il pubblico, diventando una figura amata e rispettata per la capacità di comunicare con tutti. Sempre attento alle esigenze della comunità, si è impegnato su molti fronti, soprattutto verso la sua amata Milano. La Giorgio Armani è una azienda con cinquant’anni di storia, cresciuta con emozione e con pazienza. Giorgio Armani ha sempre fatto dell’indipendenza, di pensiero e azione, il proprio segno distintivo. L’azienda è il riflesso, oggi e sempre, di questo sentire. La famiglia e i dipendenti porteranno avanti il Gruppo nel rispetto e nella continuità di questi valori. La camera ardente sarà allestita a partire da sabato 6 settembre e sarà visitabile fino a domenica 7 settembre, dalle ore 9 alle ore 18, a Milano, in via Bergognone 59, presso l’Armani/Teatro. Per espressa volontà del signor Armani, i funerali si svolgeranno in forma privata.
