ELIO FIORUCCI RIP


Elio Fiorucci, fashion designer - obituary.

Designer who gave the world stretch jeans and clothed the skinny disco queens of the 1970s.

In an interview to mark his 80th birthday in June this year, Fiorucci looked back on his life: “At just six years old I lived through the trauma of the Second World War, with the bombings that shook Milan and people who were dying without knowing why. But I was lucky to live during a fascinating period such as the 1960s … a moment of great social change, when young people were thinking of liberty, of peace.”





Elio Fiorucci was married twice and had three daughters, but both marriages were dissolved.

Elio Fiorucci, born June 10 1935, died July 20 2015.

Funny, I was talking about the Fiorucci shop in Knightsbridge on Tuesday evening at dinner as we were talking about the Kings Road, and Chelsea.
