Giorgio Armani, visionary who redefined modern elegance, passes away in Milan

Legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani has passed away, according to his company.

The Italian-born billionaire, who was 91, passed away at home on Thursday.

"With immense sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force:
Giorgio Armani," stated his fashion house.

A funeral chamber will be set up in Milan on Saturday and Sunday, it added, followed by a private ceremony on an unspecified date.

Armani did not make an appearance at his runway shows in June as he was recovering from an undisclosed illness.

He is often credited with leading the movement of red carpet fashion and was planning a major event during Milan Fashion Week this month to celebrate 50 years of his brand.
