Giorgio Armani, designer who changed how museums engage with fashion, has died aged 91

Giorgio Armani, the Italian fashion designer who bridged fashion and contemporary art, has died aged 91. Born in Piacenza in 1934, he founded his eponymous label in 1975 and became a global brand. In 2000, he became the first fashion designer to have a solo exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, curated by Germano Celant, which marked a turning point in how museums engage with fashion. In 2015, he opened Armani/Silos in Milan, a converted warehouse serving as an archive and cultural venue, hosting retrospectives of photographers Aldo Fallai and Peter Lindbergh.

Comment | I used to think it wasn’t cool to like Andy Goldsworthy—now I see how he helps us appreciate the natural world

Mia maxima culpa. For many years I felt it wasn’t cool to like Andy Goldsworthy. The British artist’s interventions in and workings with nature, while highly skilful and often very beautiful, seemed out of kilter with an increasingly hardcore, conceptually underpinned and urban-orientated art world. It also didn’t help that most of his work could only be experienced at one remove. Books and photographs were the only record of the ephemeral pieces he’d created from ice, leaves, sticks and stones; as well as of the more lasting installations—walls, sheepfolds, cairn paths and giant arches—he’d make in situ, usually in remote locations across the world.

Seeing double: Vermeer painting and its mysterious ‘twin’ go on show in London

Kenwood House in London has opened a new display, "Double Vision: Vermeer" (1 September 2025 – 11 January 2026), pairing Vermeer's "The Guitar Player" (1672) from its own collection with its mysterious "twin," "Lady with a Guitar," on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The exhibition reignites a century-old debate over which painting is the original, as the Philadelphia version has long been questioned since the Kenwood version emerged in 1927. Recent scientific analysis reveals differences in ground layers and pigment use—the Kenwood painting features ultramarine while the Philadelphia version uses cheaper indigo—and experts like former Rijksmuseum specialist Gregor Weber suggest the Philadelphia work may be an early copy.
