Giorgio Armani, the maestro of modern elegance whose fashion vision reshaped global style, has passed away at the age of 91, the Armani Group confirmed. The Group expressed profound sorrow, calling him “creator, founder and tireless driving force” of the brand.
Armani’s influence extended far beyond couture growing into a culinary realm where he applied the same minimalist, high-quality ethos that defined his clothing. His team shared, “In this company, we have always felt like part of a family. Today, with deep emotion, we feel the void left by the one who founded and nurtured this family with vision, passion and dedication”. That family spirit, and his devotion to simplicity, lives on in dining spaces that bear his name.

Rustic Italian dishes are served with a signature twist: Roman-style pizzas with rice-flour crusts, pasta tossed with aglio e olio clams, beetroot carpaccio over seaweed fritters. The food feels both authentic and inventive, just like the brand’s approach to dressing real people. Everything is served in a setting defined by soothing blues and greens, discreet motifs and perfect calm, much like Armani’s garments
