Fashion: the entrepreneur Giuseppe Angiolini died, he created Sugar

The Arezzo entrepreneur Giuseppe Angiolini, known in the fashion world for the Sugar brand, has died at the age of 73. Trend expert and protagonist of the Italian and international fashion scene, he was born in Arezzo on 5 December 1952. He died at his home this morning after having faced an illness for some time.

Starting from a clothing store in Corso Italia in Arezzo, Angiolini had built over the years a point of reference for fashion and trends, standing out for his intuition, creativity and ability to anticipate changes in the sector. He had been effective president of the Italian Chamber of Fashion Buyers, a role held more recently in an honorary capacity, and artistic director of Arezzo Oro, contributing to the promotion of the gold district. He was also a well-known face in television programs dedicated to major entertainment events, and he often participated as an expert on style and image, particularly at the Sanremo Festival. His bond with Arezzo is deep, a city for which he had promoted numerous initiatives and where, last spring, he ran as a candidate in the municipal administrative elections. Among the closest friendships in the world of fashion is that with the stylist Ermanno Scervino. Numerous messages of condolence are expected from the business, association and fashion worlds.
