Mango, the fast-fashion chain from Barcelona, is forging ahead with its expansion in the U.S. despite the recession.
This story first appeared in the February 27, 2009 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"In Chinese," said Rafael Ayash, country director for the U.S., "recession means opportunity."
On Thursday, the company hosted a launch presentation for Adam, a new capsule collection of men's and women's wear by designer Adam Lippes, at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York.
The Spanish retailer entered the U.S. in 2006 and now operates 21 stores here. Around the world, there are over 1,200 Mango stores in 92 countries. So far, units are operating in Costa Mesa, Calif.; Chicago; Dallas; Los Angeles; McLean, Va.; Orlando; San Francisco, and Santa Monica. In November 2007, the company opened a flagship in SoHo at 561 Broadway. The stores are called MNG by Mango for trademark reasons in the U.S. market.
Ayash said two additional units are planned for New York City later this year. Although he would not disclose the locations, he said one is slated to open in August and the second in September.
Ayash admitted Mango hasn't been immune to the recession in the U.S. "If I told you we didn't go down [in sales], I'd be lying," he said. "But we're new here and our positioning and market share are the main things for us."
Although women's wear remains the company's primary driver, men's is also carving out a niche at the company's stores around the world. The retailer began offering men's wear in a small way in 2007. In Spain and Turkey, Mango operates men's-only stores under the HE by Mango moniker (HE is an acronym for the Latin phrase Homini Emerito). "They've really been successful," Ayash said, adding the company is converting some smaller stores in Spain to men's units.
There are no plans to open men's-only stores in the U.S., he said, but he revealed one of the New York units will be large enough to house a men's-only concept within it. "We're doing windows, graphics — we're really launching it as a brand," he said.
Another big push for the company is the Adam Lippes collection, Ayash said. Originally slated for only two seasons, Lippes said the association has been extended another year. "It's been an incredible collaboration," he said. "They called me and I went to see them in Barcelona and I was amazed. There's not one derivative dress in the line — not one designer copy. They wanted a fresh take on American sportswear and they gave me free rein."
Adam for Mango and Adam for HE, the names of the women's and men's lines, respectively, each boast about 20 items, and will be offered in "key stores" in the U.S. as well as 650 stores around the world beginning on Sunday, Lippes said.
Mango also has collaborations with celebrities including Milla Jovovich, Elizabeth Hurley and Penélope and Mónica Cruz.

Welcome to the Borough of Midland Park!
Originally settled by the Dutch, Midland Park was incorporated as a Borough on September 6, 1894 from portions of Ridgewood Township and Franklin Township (now Wyckoff Township) and further expanded from additional lands acquired from Wyckoff Township in 1931. Midland Park was named after the New Jersey Midland Railway Company which operated a railroad through the area in the 1870s. With a total area of 1.56 square miles and a population of 7,128 (as of the 2010 census) it borders the Borough of Waldwick to the north, the Village of Ridgewood to the east and the Township of Wyckoff to the west. Midland Park treasures it's "small-town" feel yet offers a multitude of housing options, recreational facilities, quality public and private schools, unique shopping and dining options, nine houses of worship, and public transportation into nearby Manhattan making it a desirable town to call your own.
Summer Water Restrictions
Due to lack of rainfall we are now in Stage II water restrictions. Please see the attached flyer for more information regarding Ridgewood Water's Stages & Restrictions.
Summer Water Restrictions
Zika Virus
Zika is a viral infection that is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Locally transmitted cases of Zika have not been identified in the US, although the potential for local transmission exists as the Aedes mosquitoes are present in many states.
The Board of Health strongly encourages protection for yourself, your family, and our community from mosquito bites:
- Eliminate standing water in and around your home. Be sure to empty and scrub birdbaths frequently. Turn over, cover or throw out items that hold water (tires, buckets, planters, toys, flowerpots)
- Tightly cover storage containers (buckets, cisterns, rain barrels) to avoid entry of mosquitoes. For containers without lids, cover with wire mesh with holes smaller than an adult mosquito.
- Keep mosquitoes out of your home by using screens on windows and doors, repair holes in screens, use air conditioning when available.
- Prevent mosquito bites by using an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin or IR3535, always using as directed.
- Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Consider using permethrin-treated clothing and gear.
For additional information, please contact the NorthWest Bergen Regional Health Commission at 201-445-7217, or

Minnesota criminal recidivism rate is nation's worst
Minnesota has the worst criminal recidivism rate in the country? That's a national ranking we're not too proud of.
A Pew Center on the States report finds that 61.2 percent of prisoners released here were back behind bars after three years, either because of a new offense or because they violated the conditions of their parole.
Not only that, but our recidivism rate actually grew by more than 10 percent between the two years examined by the report, 1999 and 2004. And we far outpaced the latest national average of 43.3 percent.
Minnesota's recidivism rate grew.
There are some caveats here: Pew's study covers 41 states, not the entire country. And comparing recidivism rates between states can be a tricky business because of variations in how offenses are prosecuted and reported.
Still, even if you discount how we compare to other states, it seems crazy that well over half of our ex-cons end up back behind bars so quickly.
Minnesota Commissioner of Corrections Tom Roy, who took over the post in January from Pawlenty appointee Christine Bray, told Pew the numbers may have something to do with how we treat inmates like lost causes.
"Catching the guy and prosecuting him is really important work, but if we don't do anything with that individual after we've got him, then shame on us. If all that effort goes to waste and we just open the doors five years later, and it's the same guy walking out the door and the same criminal thinking, we've failed in our mission."
From the looks of the Pew study, Roy's inherited a messy mission.

Ann Who? "Orphan Black's" Tatiana Maslany Joins The Cast of "Parks And Recreation"
By Joanna Robinson | Trade News | August 21, 2013 | Comments ()
Everyone's favorite Canadian cutie (that's right, Rachel McAdams, you heard me) is joining NBC's "Parks And Recreation" for Season 6. Now ostensibly Tatiana Maslany has been hired to play Aziz Ansari's lady love for an episode or two. But I'm too giddy with the prospect of one of my favorite new TV actresses joining my favorite sitcom to settle for two episodes. I already have visions of her braiding Leslie's hair. Perhaps while sporting a Russian accent? Listen, with the departure of Rashida Jones, Leslie's need for a new best friend is much more important to me than who Tommy Haverford is dating. Come on, tell me these two aren't made for each other.

Cornish newsagent takes home GBP345 253
A very lucky winner appeared this week at William Hill Online, hitting a jackpot of GBP 345 253 on Playtech-powered progressive slot Leprechaun's Luck.
The 44 year old Peter Brown, a newsagent in Torquay, Cornwall, played a GBP1 spin on the popular game and became one of the biggest winners of all times at William Hill Online.
He commented: "I'm still in shock, I just can't believe it. When it came up on the screen that I'd won – I thought I was dreaming – and it wasn't until someone from William Hill rang to congratulate me that it started to sink in.
"My father in-law is Irish and when I told him I'd won GBP 345 000 on a game called Leprechaun's Luck - he thought I was pulling his leg. We'll be raising a pint of Guinness to William Hill over next few days!
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the money, but I fancy buying a new Jeep and maybe a brand new 3D TV."
