Isak Andic, the man who built one of Europe’s largest fashion empires, Mango, is dead. The founder of the global clothing retailer, which operates nearly 2,800 stores worldwide, tragically passed away in an accident on Saturday. Andic’s death was confirmed by the company, which expressed its shock and sorrow. In a statement, Mango’s CEO, Toni Ruiz, said, “It is with deep regret that we announce the unexpected death of Isak Andic, our non-executive chairman and founder of Mango.”
Andic’s passing marks the end of an era for Mango, a brand that has left its imprint on the fashion world. It’s not every day that a figure like Andic, who turned a small Spanish company into a retail giant, is taken so suddenly.
With Mango stores scattered across the globe, this news sends shock through the fashion industry. It’s hard to believe that someone who built such a vast enterprise can be gone just like that, leaving behind a legacy that has shaped the way many people shop. Despite all his success, Andic’s journey from a simple businessman to a world-renowned brand leader shows that life can be as unpredictable as the fast-moving world of fashion itself. His absence will surely be felt, but the company he built will continue to live on.
