The world of denim and the wider fashion industry are in mourning the death of Giorgio Armani. He died at his home in Milan on September 4.

The brand that bears his name confirmed that, even at 91, Mr Armani had worked until his final days, “dedicating himself to the company, its collections, and many ongoing and future projects”.

He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal last year that he regarded this disciplined work ethic as the secret of his success.

He founded the business in 1975 and remained its sole shareholder at the time of his death. The business reported revenues of $2.6 billion in 2023.
