The Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, has declared a day of mourning in honor of the legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who recently passed away, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy in the world of fashion.
The mourning coincides with the funeral ceremonies, which will take place on 6 and 7 September, honoring a figure whose name is etched not only in Milanese history but also on the international fashion stage.
“Giorgio Armani was and will forever remain one of the greatest representatives of Italian and Milanese fashion worldwide,” Sala said in an official statement.
The mayor described Armani as a personality full of talent and diverse interests, who, with his elegance and restrained style, created a new language in fashion, reflecting the balance and sophistication of his character.
Sala also emphasized that Milan will deeply feel the loss of Armani—not only for his creative vision, but also for his ongoing contributions to the cultural and civic life of the Italian fashion capital.
Armani, the founder of one of the world’s most prestigious brands, symbolized Italian elegance for decades, profoundly influencing the cultural identity of Milan and the global fashion industry.
