Iconic Italian fashion mogul Giorgio Armani, who sadly passed away at 91 last year, recently opened up in an interview about his first crush on another man. Despite having already experienced his first romantic encounter with a girl, Giorgio’s life took a significant turn during a summer camp when he developed feelings for a male supervisor.
Growing up in the town of Piacenza, Giorgio initially aspired to become a doctor but ultimately found himself on a different path filled with glamour and creativity. In a revealing 2024 interview with Corriere della Sera, he shared a poignant memory of feeling a strong attraction towards the supervisor at the beach, a moment that changed the course of his life.
Reflecting on this experience, Giorgio described it as a beautiful and emotional memory that marked a pivotal moment for him. Subsequently, he went on to become a prominent LGBTQ+ figure in the business world, leaving a lasting impact on the fashion industry.
Following his passing, the Armani Group released a statement mourning the loss of their founder, emphasizing his tireless dedication to the company and his visionary approach to life. Known for his independence and deep connection with the public, Giorgio Armani leaves behind a legacy of innovation and compassion that will continue to shape the company’s future.
