Inditex SA, the owner of Zara Massimo Dutti and Bershka brands, issued a statement saying that it was ‘deeply saddened’ by her sudden death.
“The Group wishes to send its sincere condolences to her loved ones and friends at this extremely difficult time, after the loss of a person who contributed so much to the origins and development of the company,” a company spokesperson said.
BBC’s Tom Burridge described her journey as a rages to riches story.
“Rosalia Mera had a rags to riches backstory, and that seems to have shaped her belief that the money of millionaires, or even billionaires like her, should not be flaunted,” he said.
She is survived by her son Marco and daughter, Sandra.
