Giorgio Armani, Fashion’s Master of the Power Suit, Dies at 91​

He created a male uniform whose feminized form won favor with women. An alliance with movie stars made his name all but synonymous with red-carpet dressing.

Giorgio Armani, a designer who rewrote the rules of fashion not once but twice in his lifetime, died on Thursday at his home in Milan. He was 91.

His death was announced by his company, the Armani Group, which said he had been working “until his final days.”

A reluctant designer but an instinctive empire builder, Mr. Armani initially became a household name by adapting a custom from traditional Neapolitan tailors: softening the internal structure of a man’s suit to reveal the body inside. Simply by removing shoulder pads and canvas linings, Mr. Armani devised what in the early 1980s became a new male uniform, the easy and almost louche sensuality of which soon enough found favor among a female clientele.

Both of them can enter into a JV to design nice clothes for the folks in the netherworld.
