Italian designer Giorgio Armani, “currently convalescing at home”, will be absent from his two shows at Milan Fashion Week presenting the men’s collections for spring-summer 2026, his fashion house announced on Friday.
The 90-year-old designer will therefore not be present at the Emporio Armani show scheduled for Saturday and the Giorgio Armani show scheduled for Monday.
“In his absence, Leo Dell‘Orco, head of design for the men’s collections, will greet the public at the end of the shows,” the house said in a statement.
Even in his absence, Giorgio Armani, who “has worked with his usual commitment on the collections to be presented”, “will closely follow every step of the shows”, it stressed.
An empire-builder in the luxury goods industry, “il re Giorgio” (“King Giorgio”) is a visionary designer who has distinguished himself in haute couture, ready-to-wear, accessories, perfumes, jewelry, interior design and luxury hotels in cities such as Milan, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai.
