Italian fashion icon Giorgio Armani has died at the age of 91.
Armani, celebrated as the very embodiment of Italian elegance, transformed global fashion with his sleek, minimalist approach to tailoring.
Born in 1934 in Piacenza, northern Italy, Armani began his career in window dressing before moving into fashion design in the 1960s.
In a statement posted on the official Armani page, the brand said the designer worked until his final days, never slowing down despite his age.
