About Elio Fiorucci
- Elio Fiorucci (Italian pronunciation: ['?ljo fjo'rutt?i]; 10 June 1935 – 19 July 2015) was an Italian fashion designer and the founder of the Fiorucci fashion label. Beginning in retailing at the age of 14, he later created a fashion brand that had worldwide success during the 1970s and 1980s, including becoming a key label of the disco-scene.
- The retail environments he created were destinations, rather than simply places to buy clothes; his New York store was known by some as the daytime Studio 54 and gave space to artists and creatives – including Andy Warhol. Fiorucci is credited with designing and popularising stretch jeans, and for transforming the fashion scene.
- Giorgio Armani described him as a revolutionary, adding: "He was always ready to take some risks to really understand his time".
