While each of the company is an empire in itself, Amancio Ortega is associated primarily with Zara, a brand that he helped build from the ground up. Working at the grass-root level, Ortega took the clothing group Inditex from a tiny family dressmaker in Spain to the country’s biggest company. Ortega’s success is largely attributed to the Zara brand, which has easily become the go-to shop for the majority of fashion-conscious city dwellers who mind their budgets as well. With radical business ideas that focused in making the latest in fashion accessible to everyone within the shortest time possible, Zara has fundamentally altered the apparel business.

Moreover, Zara stores stay religiously true to their business model by pulling non-performing designs off the shop floor even quicker.
