"Elegance isn't about being noticed, it's about being remembered". These were the words of Giorgio Armani, the king of fashion, who died yesterday at the age of 91. Now many remember him: figures from politics, culture, art, and entertainment, and an entire online community mourning the designer and fashion legend with the awareness that “the firmament of Made in Italy will now have one less star". Many considered him a "great designer, a man of extreme class and great talent", while others simply referred to him as "the King". "Giorgio Armani was and will always be one of the world's most prominent representatives of Italian and Milanese fashion. Armani was a man with many talents and interests, and he was able to convey his sober and elegant attitude to his creations—moderate, never extravagant. Milan will miss his creative vision, active engagement, and support for our city's life. "On Monday, the day of his funeral, a day of civic mourning will be declared", said Milan's mayor, Giuseppe Sala. Armani was the unquestioned maestro of Italian style and fashion, appreciated both nationally and internationally. TV host Simona Ventura remembered him: "Giorgio, you are and always will be our KING. Thank you for making us feel proud to be Italian!! "I love you", she said on social media. The sporting community also paid tribute to Armani: "Juventus joins in mourning the passing of Giorgio Armani, a timeless icon of Italian elegance and style". Former player Christian Vieri shared a photo of himself with the designer on Instagram with the caption, "Rest in peace, KING GEORGE". Laura Pausini remembers him in this way: "It was an honor to know a King. What you taught and gave me is an invaluable added value in this chaos”.
