Istanbul-born founder and owner of fashion empire Mango Isak Andic died on Saturday in a mountain accident, the company said. He was 71.
The businessman slipped and fell from a 150-metre cliff while hiking with relatives in the Montserrat caves near Barcelona, the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia said.
"His departure leaves a huge void but all of us are, in some way, his legacy and the testimony of his achievements. Tt is up to us ... to ensure that Mango continues to be the project that Isak was ambitious and proud of," Mango's CEO Toni Ruiz said in a statement.
Andic moved with his family to the northeastern Spanish region of Catalonia from Turkey in the 1960s and founded Mango in 1984. He was worth $4.5 billion, according to Forbes. He was non-executive chairman of the company when he died.
