He was 71.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mangofashiongroup.com\/w\/fallecimiento-isak-andic\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">death was announced<\/a> by Toni Ruiz, the chief executive of Mango. The cause was confirmed by Gl\u00f2ria Torrent Caldas, a spokeswoman for the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Andic, bespectacled and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2001\/05\/05\/business\/worldbusiness\/IHT-chain-offers-unique-limitedline-fashions-pressshy.html\" title=\"\">seen as relatively reclusive<\/a>, started Mango in the mid-1980s by selling T-shirts in Barcelona. Over four decades, Mango grew into one of Spain\u2019s leading international retailers, known for its creative, eclectic and ever-changing selection of affordable women\u2019s wear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Andic, who held the title of nonexecutive chairman at Mango, had a net worth of roughly $4.5 billion at the time of his death, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/isak-andic\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to Forbes magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ruiz said in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mangofashiongroup.com\/en\/w\/fallecimiento-isak-andic\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a> that Mr. Andic had dedicated his life to Mango, displaying \u201cstrategic vision\u201d and \u201cinspiring leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHis legacy reflects the achievements of a business project marked by success and also by his human quality,\u201d Mr. Ruiz <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mangofashiongroup.com\/w\/fallecimiento-isak-andic\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in the statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mango expanded beyond Spain in 1992 and opened its first U.S. location, in Los Angeles, in 2006. By 2008, it had launched a menswear line and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/01\/30\/realestate\/commercial\/30retail.html\" title=\"\">opened an 8,000-square-foot store<\/a> in the SoHo section of Manhattan.

As a teenager, he moved with his family to Barcelona, and he worked in the wholesale and retail sectors before opening Mango.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A full list of Mr. Andic\u2019s survivors was not immediately available.
