A luxury cast modelled the MANGO proposals for the forthcoming Autumn/Winter 09-10: Amparo Bonmatí, Flavia Lucini, Hanna Rundlof, Marina Pérez, Teresa Baca, Gabriel Pérez, Helge, Jesper Lund and Nicolás Ripoll, among others.
For the forthcoming season, and under the name of HEROES, MANGO presented a collection with proposals in which the MANGO woman gains power and strength by adding clear 1980s influences to her wardrobe. Shoulder lines are accentuated on suit jackets and outer garments, while in lower garments, the silhouette becomes narrower, with slim-fit trousers, biker trousers, leggings and pencil skirts. For its part, the men’s collection HE Homini Emerito presents a structured silhouette with details such as breast pockets, epaulettes, pleats, double buttons, shields, elbow patches and Mao necks. Furthermore, the North American designer Adam Lippes is once again collaborating with us and is designing two collections, one for men and one for women. For women, the Adam for MANGO collection has a clear 80s influence, while giving the garments a certain timeless and exclusive air. For men, Adam for HE is a casual collection with a 50s air.

The Oscar-winning actress Penélope Cruz and her sister Mónica have joined forces with MANGO for a new season and have designed a fourth collection for MANGO, which is now available at the firm’s stores.
Under the name Penélope & Mónica Cruz for MNG, the Cruz sisters are presenting a limited edition collection with a clear Japanese influence in the volumes and the prints: flowing and enfolding garments like the kimono and the printed dungarees. In this collection, there are also garments with their own style, their particular preference for vintage: the 70s style suit and the sexy mini-dresses for those very special occasions. The fabrics used in this collection are silk crêpe, serge structures and taffeta in various colours with a base of ivory, grey and camel with touches of red and marine blue. Penélope and Mónica launched their first collection for the firm in 2007. Eighteen months on, the Cruz sisters have reaffirmed themselves as creators of style and trends, adding yet another success to their professional careers.
Last Thursday, 12 February, on the occasion of our collaboration with the Contemporary Art Fair (ARCO), we held a party at Matadero Madrid. During the event, we presented our new collaboration project with the Articulo 1./ Foundation, whose principal aim is to spread the message of the articles contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through art. As official sponsors of ARCOmadrid 09, we also presented this new project at the venue which is staging the International Contemporary Art Fair, being held in the capital from 11 to 16 February.
Isak Andic, the company Chairman, attended the event to welcome the MANGO faithful, who included Mónica Cruz, Ariadne Artiles, Teresa Baca, Eloy Azorín, Alejandra de Rojas, Boris Izaguirre, Roberto Hoyas, Almudena Cid and Nadia de Santiago, who came along to enjoy a party featuring performances by several international artists. They were also able to enjoy the performances offered by three artists from India, the country invited by ARCO. Lourdes Fernández, the Director of ARCO, was one of the other stars of the evening.

In this solidarity project, celebrated artists such as Toni Segarra, Borja Martínez, Jordi Flo, Félix F. De Castro,Verónica Vilaseca, Cuca Canals and Sergio Piera have donated designs inspired by Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in order to create seven men’s and women’s t-shirts, which will be sold in our stores and the profits from which will go to said Foundation. By supporting this initiative, we are once again banking on art and expressing our commitment to social actions, in addition to values such as creativity, the avant-garde, quality and internationalisation, values which characterise our positioning as a brand.

During the Fair, MANGO had a space dedicated to live art: MANGO Performing Arco, which offered a series of live performances by international artists, as well as the performances of the three Indian artists. These artistic representations help broaden the view of contemporary art and show the public the main trends in international performing art today. The MANGO Performing Arco space was located in an oval structure of pavilion 6 of the Feria de Madrid trade exhibition centre.
