Hundreds of Ordinary Mourners and VIPs Pay Last Respects to Italian Fashion Icon Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani, who died at 91, influenced global fashion and Milan's culture; hundreds, including VIPs, paid respects during a public viewing at Armani Theater.
- On Thursday, Giorgio Armani died at 91 at his home in central Milan, surrounded by loved ones; thousands will pay homage on Saturday before a private funeral on Monday in Milan.
- Armani had spent decades building a luxury lifestyle empire dressing Hollywood actors, pop stars, and royals, and one of his final projects was his 50th‑anniversary runway show due to close Milan Fashion Week later this month.
- At the Teatro Armani, the funeral chamber opened Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., featuring a closed coffin with white roses and carabinieri honour guards; Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala called Armani a "man of extraordinary elegance," Sala told reporters outside.
- Tributes arrived from around the world as condolences poured in from Ralph Lauren, Julia Roberts, Anna Wintour and Leonardo DiCaprio, while Armani's family pledged to carry the company forward, leaving succession questions due to his lack of children.
- The city-wide reaction reflected Armani's imprint as Milan declared the funeral day a day of mourning and projected a photo with his parting message at the viewing chamber.
