Armani's decision marks a significant moment in his illustrious career that has spanned over five decades, with Milan Fashion Week showcasing his Spring-Summer 2026 collections. A company statement reported that Armani is currently recuperating at home and is in good spirits, with hopes to attend future shows in Paris later this year.
As the founder of a luxury fashion empire since 1975, Armani's influence extends beyond clothing to haute couture, accessories, beauty products, and even luxury hotels across major cities worldwide. With his brand set to celebrate its 50th anniversary next month alongside his 91st birthday, this milestone adds a bittersweet note to the occasion. His long-time collaborator, Leo Dell'Orco, is expected to take center stage in place of Armani at the Milan shows.
