Giorgio Armani's Life Becomes Television Series

Giorgio Armani's remarkable life and career are set to be chronicled in a new, high-end television series. Italian production company Lux Vide is collaborating with the iconic designer's fashion house to bring his story to the screen for a global audience.

I admired him, I spent time with Giorgio for many years, both on formal occasions and in more private meetings.

Directed by Ferzan Özpetek, known for his artistic yet commercially successful films, the series promises an in-depth look at Armani's world. Özpetek, who had a personal connection with Armani, described him as not only a visionary artist but also a grounded and decisive individual. "The opportunity to tell his story is both a great honor and a challenge, as it requires capturing the many facets of such a complex, authentic, and charming personality," Özpetek stated.

We talked about cinema, about which he was passionate and particularly knowledgeable, but also about art, costumes, architecture and, I would say, life itself.

The series, currently without an official title, will be penned by Özpetek and Francesco Arlanch, a lead screenwriter at Lux Vide known for his work on "Medici" and "Doc." While plot details remain under wraps, the production has the full support of the Giorgio Armani house. They will grant access to archives, designs, and iconic locations, offering a unique perspective on the legacy of one of fashion's most influential figures.

I saw in him not only a visionary and a brilliant artist, but also a grounded and extremely decisive person.

Armani, who passed away in September 2025 at age 91, became internationally renowned for his innovative designs, including the deconstructed suits popularized by Richard Gere in "American Gigolo" and the powerful women's suits that defined a generation of Hollywood stars. His close ties to Hollywood also led to costume credits in over 200 films.
