Giorgio Armani Passes Away at 91 – His Admiral 72m to Shine at Monaco Yacht Show

It is with deep sorrow that the world mourns the death of legendary Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who passed away at the age of 91. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his loved ones, remaining actively involved as CEO and Creative Director of his eponymous fashion house until his final days.

Born in 1934 in Piacenza, Italy, Armani founded the Giorgio Armani brand in Milan in 1975, revolutionizing fashion with relaxed silhouettes and simple designs, establishing the concept of “invisible luxury.” His success soared in the 1980s, with his clothes featured in films such as American Gigolo and the series Miami Vice.

Armani’s empire expanded into hotels, sportswear, accessories, and naturally, the world of superyachts. In 2025, he unveiled his first superyacht, the Admiral Armani 72m, which will debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in September.

The Admiral Armani 72m is the first superyacht designed by Armani, in collaboration with Giovanni Costantino and The Italian Sea Group. Measuring 72 meters in length, the yacht combines Armani’s signature elegance with cutting-edge technology. Its interior and exterior spaces showcase the designer’s signature style, featuring clean lines, large glass surfaces, and understated luxury. The yacht will be presented at the Monaco Yacht Show from September 24 to 27, 2025.

Giorgio Armani leaves behind a legacy that goes beyond fashion. His dedication to his craft, commitment to quality, and ability to blend tradition with innovation make him one of the most influential creators of the 20th and 21st centuries. His presence at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show with his superyacht is the perfect tribute to a man who elevated the concept of luxury to new heights.

The worlds of fashion and yachting bid farewell to a true artist.
