Giorgio Armani said his fashiongroup could undergo major changes when he is no longer at the helmet, saying he was not ruling out a merger or a stock-marketflotation.
"Independence from the big groups could still be a value for the group in the future, but I don't feel I can exclude anything," the designer, who turns 90 in July, told Bloomberg.
"(A stock-market) listing is something we haven't discussed yet, but it is an option that could be considered in the distant future".
