Giorgio Armani, the famed Italian fashion designer who achieved elegance and timelessness through simplicity, has died. He was 91.
Armani "worked until his final days," the Armani Group said in a statement Thursday, Sept. 4, announcing his death.
Armani combined the flair of the designer with the acumen of a businessman, running a company that turned over some $2.7 billion a year.
He had been unwell for some time, and was forced to drop out of his group's shows at Milan's Men's Fashion Week in June, the first time in his career that he had missed one of his catwalk events.
