You could almost imagine Succession’s Shiv Roy breezily saying the same thing to a reporter, despite her ambitions for the top job. In a rare interview with the Wall Street Journal in August, Marta claimed she had no plans to take a more formal leadership role.
It’s a compelling one too – the combination of family and business can be explosive, as we’ve seen in the stranger-than-fiction plotline of Ridley Scott’s new House of Gucci film and television dramas such as Succession and Empire. It’s a familiar kind of story: company founder grooms son or daughter, before handing over the reins to their empire. Come April, she will become the most powerful woman in fashion you've never heard of, when she assumes the role of chairman of Inditex. For the past 14 years, however, she has also held an integral – if undefined – role at her father’s company. Their 400 guests enjoyed performances by Norah Jones, Jamie Cullum and Chris Martin, and it was all captured by the late legendary fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh.ĭespite all these trappings, and her front row seat at Valentino couture shows, the 37-year-old generally steers clear of the fashion party circuit, favouring the equestrian crowd instead. When she married Torretta, she wore four Valentino couture creations, flown in via private jet and delivered personally by Pierpaolo Piccioli, the label’s creative director. You can’t blame them really friends include Queen Letizia, Athina Onassis and Jessica Springsteen.

With them is their one-year-old daughter Matilda and her eight-year-old son Amancio, from her previous marriage to professional equestrian Sergio Álvarez Moya.Īlthough Marta prefers to avoid the limelight, she and her family are exhaustively covered by Hola!, Spain’s answer to Hello! and the Spanish edition of Vanity Fair. The man with his arms wrapped around Marta’s waist is her husband of three years, former model agent Carlos Torretta. Now, Marta has been identified as the successor of that empire.
In fact, her name is Marta Ortega Pérez and she’s the youngest daughter of Amancio Ortega, the world’s 11th richest person and reclusive founder of Inditex, the parent company of a portfolio of world-famous high street brands including Zara, Massimo Dutti, Uterque, Stradivarius and Bershka. To a casual observer, the elegant blonde woman in a caramel turtleneck watching Madrid Horse Week from a private box could be any high-flying member of Spanish society.
