Giorgio Armani to miss Milan Fashion Week shows
ROME, Italy — Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who is "currently recovering at home", will miss two of his shows at the Milan Fashion Week, his company said Friday.
The 90-year-old designer will not attend Saturday's and Monday's shows, set to present Armani's menswear collections for Spring-Summer 2026, a statement said.
"Armani has worked with his usual dedication on the collections that will be presented," the fashion house said, and "although he cannot be there in person, he will closely follow every phase of the shows."
Armani, also known as "Re Giorgio" ("King Giorgio"), has built an empire in the luxury industry.
Widely regarded as a visionary creator, he is celebrated for his haute couture, ready-to-wear, accessories, perfumes, jewellery, and interior design, as well as luxury hospitality in cities such as Milan, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai.
