Giorgio Armani, the Italian designer who revolutionized menswear and built one of fashion's most enduring empires, died at age 91. Born in Piacenza in 1934, Armani entered fashion by chance, starting at Milan department store La Rinascente as a window dresser before working with designer Nino Cerruti. He founded Giorgio Armani in the 1970s with business partner Sergio Galeotti. The brand gained international recognition after Richard Gere wore Armani suits in the 1980 film "American Gigolo." His death comes just weeks before the brand's 50th anniversary. #giorgioarmani #fashion #icon #regiorgio #kinggiorgio 👉 Subscribe: http://smarturl.it/reuterssubscribe Keep up with the latest news from around the world: https://www.reuters.com/ Follow Reuters on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Reuters Follow Reuters on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reuters Follow Reuters on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reuters/?hl=en
