ROME, June 20, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - 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.
