"Giorgio Armani dressed all of us. Whether or not you ever had the money for a jacket with an Armani label, you wore a jacket that he invented. He was the mastermind of contemporary style, the architect of how we dress now. If you have worn an unstructured suit with a T-shirt to a wedding; if you have worn muted neutrals to work; if you have thought it might be chic to paint your living room grey: that was Armani."
"Armani was working until his final days. Invitations had already been sent out for his next show, to be held on 28 September in the 14th-century courtyard of Milan's Palazzo Brera. A spectacular party to accompany the show was planned as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the brand, which he founded in the summer of 1975. On my phone I have dozens of videos of Armani taking catwalk bows at the end of his Milan ready-to-wear and Paris haute couture shows."
Giorgio Armani reshaped modern dressing with unstructured suits paired with T‑shirts, muted neutral palettes, and an aesthetic that influenced clothing and interiors. He built a global fashion house and marked five decades since founding the brand in 1975. He remained active professionally into advanced age, planning shows and anniversary celebrations and overseeing fittings remotely when absent. Public appearances and catwalk bows captured a dignified, determined presence that reinforced his status as an enduring style figure. His physical pace slowed in later years, yet his presentation and attention to detail remained immaculate.
