Stradivarius, Inditex’s global women’s fashion and accessories brand, has opened a flagship in Osaka’s Shinsaibashi shopping district.

This marks the brand’s 900th store worldwide and the seventh in Japan. The new store has a retail space of 720 sqm spread over two floors and will feature Stradivarius’s latest autumn/winter collections.

Inditex says the new store will showcase the brand’s latest generation of image which brings together opposing styles – including industrial and romantic – in an open, modernist space. Light is one of the most important aspects throughout the store and on the façade – bright, tall windows of over seven meters in height invite the attention of passers-by.

The space dedicated exclusively to accessories has been highlighted. A unique component designed specifically for the Shinsaibashi store is a striking central staircase leading to the upper floor, made of Yugoslavian white marble with iron balusters and wood railings.

To celebrate the opening of this flagship, Stradivarius invited fashionable young women to preview the new bright space. The soundtrack to the night was provided by DJ HICO and DJ Fanky Kow and guests were given a first glimpse of Stradivarius’ new in store magazine The Event Paper.
