RIP Giorgio Armani

With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announced the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani.

Fashion has lost its quiet poet, and the world feels a little less elegant without him. His vision made sophistication feel effortless, his name forever stitched into the fabric of style.

We have never known fashion without his presence, and every time we see his designs grace a red carpet now, the moment will carry an even deeper weight.

More than a designer, he was a storyteller of elegance—leaving behind a legacy that will never fade.

May he rest in peace. He was the last of the great designers.

2025 marked twenty years since Giorgio Armani unveiled his haute couture label, Armani Privé. Here’s a look back at twenty five (I struggled to get it down to twenty) Armani Privé gown on the red carpet—moments of pure magic, goosebumps, and BDOTY-worthy brilliance.
