We are saddened to hear about the death of Giorgio Armani (1934-2025). Beginning his career at Cerruti 1881, launching his eponymous label in 1975 Armani built a career redefining women's and men's wardrobes. The fashion industry has lost a rare talent.

We are so excited that Anna Buruma will be our keynote speaker on July 5th 2025!
