Prada has ambitions to double its business in China over the medium term, Gianfranco D'Attis, chief executive of the Italian luxury fashion house's flagship brand, said on Wednesday.
"That means increasing our investments," D'Attis said in a group interview in Shanghai.
Prada will have bigger stores, more local products and more events in China, he added.
D'Attis, a former Dior executive who took the helm of the Prada brand in January, also said that it hoped to develop a hospitality concept as part of its worldwide distribution strategy, including in China, possibly in 2024-2025, Reuters reported.
The group, whose brands also include classic English shoemaker Church's, reported a 10% rise in third quarter revenues in November, saying that a strong performance in Asia and Europe helped to compensate for weakness in the Americas.

The "Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams" exhibition was officially inaugurated by Faisal Bafarat, CEO of the General Entertainment Authority, at the Saudi National Museum, as part of the Riyadh Season festivities.

Visitors can also enjoy the event's "Dior Café," adding elegance to the experience.
The exhibition presents a rare opportunity for fashion and art enthusiasts to explore the rich history of one of the world's most celebrated fashion houses.
