Giorgio Armani to Miss Milan Fashion Week First Time Ever

For the first time in his illustrious career, Giorgio Armani will not attend his brand's shows at Milan's Men's Fashion Week, a decision prompted by his current recovery at home, according to a company statement on Friday.

The celebrated designer, set to turn 91 in July, will miss both the Emporio Armani show on Saturday and the Giorgio Armani event on Monday. While the statement provided no details on his health, reports indicate that Armani spent several days in a Milan hospital.

Despite his absence, Armani has been fully engaged in preparing the collections to be showcased, maintaining his renowned attention to detail. Leo Dell'Orco will step in to greet the audience at the show's finale in Armani's place.
