(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar: Italian fashion icon Giorgio Armani, who turned the concept of understated elegance into a multibillion-dollar fashion empire, has passed away at the age of 91, the Armani Group announced on Thursday.

“With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani,” the company said.

Armani, celebrated worldwide for his modern Italian style and timeless elegance, was not only a visionary designer but also a shrewd businessman who generated annual revenues of approximately €2.3 billion (₹23 thousand crore).

In June, the designer had missed Milan Men's Fashion Week for the first time in his career due to health issues. Fondly nicknamed“Re Giorgio” (King Giorgio), Armani was renowned for personally overseeing every detail of his collections, campaigns, and runway presentations.

The company announced that a funeral chamber will be open in Milan on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a private funeral on a date yet to be disclosed. Armani leaves behind a legacy that reshaped fashion and defined elegance for generations.
