Mango Fashion Empire Mourns Loss of Visionary Founder Isak Andic

Isak Andic, the visionary founder of the global fashion retail chain Mango, has passed away at the age of 71, leaving behind a remarkable legacy in the fashion industry. The Turkish-born entrepreneur, who transformed a small Barcelona boutique into an international fashion empire, died on Tuesday, marking the end of an era in Spanish retail history.

Starting with a single store on Barcelona's Paseo de Gracia in 1984, Andic built Mango into one of Spain's largest fashion exporters, second only to Inditex's Zara. Under his leadership, Mango expanded to over 2,500 stores across 110 countries, generating annual revenues exceeding €2.6 billion.

Known for his innovative approach to fashion retail, Andic pioneered the concept of affordable luxury and was among the first to recognize the potential of fast fashion in the European market. His business acumen and understanding of consumer needs helped Mango weather various economic storms while maintaining its position as a leading fashion retailer.

Throughout his career, Andic remained largely private despite his success, focusing on building a sustainable business model that emphasized quality, design, and accessibility. His commitment to these principles helped establish Mango as a household name in global fashion.

The company will continue under the leadership of his son Jonathan Andic, who has been actively involved in the business for years, ensuring the continuation of Isak's vision and values. The fashion industry has lost a pioneer whose influence
