On the second floor, that offers women's ready-to-wear, green fabric walls and display fixtures

The two upper levels, that display the men's collections, are characterised by thin staves
flooring and ebony wood walls. Precious cases and counters in palladium-coloured metal
lend great personality to the whole space, which is completed with rust-coloured ostrich

TRIBUTE BY PRADA TO THE ARTISTIC WORK OF CARLOS CRUZ-DIEZ

contribution to this artistic genre, Prada intends paying public homage to his work of art
which was the starting point in the development of the Prada Osaka Shinsaibashi boutique
