Farewell, Giorgio Armani: the milestones in the life of the designer who dressed our dreams, in pictures
Unlike other creators, clothing was not always so clearly present in his life. In fact, on several occasions, he stated that he could have pursued another profession.
"He did not study fashion or art. Armani was a doctor by training and, after a period in the army, he worked for a pioneering and advanced department store, La Rinascente, where he trained his knowledge of fabrics, contact with customers and the creative vision to satisfy them," points out Ana Llorente, lecturer in fashion at UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology and PhD in Fashion History.
