“We wanted to capture the magic of a hotel experience through small, thoughtful surprises,” says Turrión. Naturally, scene-stealing pieces from The Ritz-Carlton x Late Checkout collection make multiple cameos.

Here, Turrión takes you behind the scenes of the exclusive collection.

What inspired the navy, white/cream, and light blue palette throughout the collection?

“We thought of this second collection as an organic continuation of the first. We wanted to honor The Ritz-Carlton’s heritage and its colors, so we introduced the classic light blue—a Ritz-Carlton icon. We gave greater importance to navy, while balancing it with the ivory white we always use in our collections. I feel we achieved a solid and wearable palette that is also bold and playful.”

What inspired the new globe motif found throughout the collection? What does this logo represent?

“Vintage clothing always influences our collections and designs. As we were planning to shoot the campaign in Nikko, we felt strongly that this collection needed to include a souvenir jacket, a sukajan. It became our personal homage to these incredible works of art, conceived as a special souvenir from our journey with the Ritz-Carlton. I think this globe logo represents a spirit of constant movement and evolution—like when, at the end of a great trip, you’re already imagining the next destination.”

What made Japan feel like the right cultural touchstone for this collaboration? 

“Our first campaign took place in Hong Kong. It was fun, chaotic and captured the energy and stress of a big city. For this second chapter, we wanted a twist. We aimed to convey calm—a journey to find yourself, a search for balance. The first time I traveled to Japan, about 10 years ago, I went to Nikko. I remember it as something magical, and if we’ve managed to transmit even a fraction of that feeling through this second chapter, it will feel like closing a full circle!”

Which pieces in the collection reflect Japan as a source of inspiration?

“The sukajan, of course!”

The collection was designed with the traveler in mind. How did you capture the spirit of exploration and luxury hospitality in everyday wear?  

“I think our clothes always have a good balance between comfort and making a statement. We love paying attention to detail—not only the small ones like zippers, buttons and embroidery, but also the fabrics we choose and the fit of our clothes. They have to feel special, yet at the same time, super comfortable and wearable. It’s similar to luxury hotels: you want them to feel unique and elevated, but comfort and ease are essential to enjoying the full experience.”

How did the partnership between The Ritz-Carlton and Late Checkout push the creative vision of this collection forward?

“Collaborating with a brand like The Ritz-Carlton allows us to think bigger than we usually do. They trust our vision, and we respect their codes and ethos, so the result is an organic collaboration where everyone pushes for the best.”
