The Ritz-Carlton expanded its partnership with Madrid-based fashion label Late Checkout, delivering a second capsule collection that builds on the duo's Cannes Lions Gold-winning debut. This chapter introduces accessories, loungewear, children's pieces, and home essentials in a refined navy, ivory, and light blue palette. Standout items include featherweight knits featuring The Ritz-Carlton's iconic lion crest, velvet Sukajan jackets with intricate embroidery, and shawl-collar dressing gowns that reimagine black-tie elegance for at-home evenings. The kids range offers rugby polos, tees, and caps in soft cotton.
A cinematic campaign starring Josh Hutcherson, filmed at The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko, brings the collection to life against Japan's mountainous backdrop. Directed by Rogelio González and shot by photographer Javier Ruiz, the visuals balance the hotel brand's sophistication with Late Checkout's tongue-in-cheek sensibility. A newly introduced globe motif nods to vintage travel emblems, tying the entire range together under a theme of exploration and refined wanderlust.
