In the latest collaboration between Rem Koolhaas, Hon. FAIA’s Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and fashion house Prada, OMA’s research studio arm AMO designed “The Infinite Palace” inside Prada’s Milan headquarters. For Prada’s Fall/Winter 2015 menswear and womenswear shows, AMO devised eight rooms, arranged in two rows, with two long parallel catwalks connected by shorter runways perpendicular across the adjacent rooms. The temporary space was done in faux black and blue marble to background the dark-hued mens collection, and baby pink and green to serve up the largely pastel womenswear.

*Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that both shows occurred in February. The menswear show occurred in January, and the womenswear show was held in February. It also misspelled the full name of OMA.
