For designer Brett Baldwin, hotels offer a fascinating setting where people with unique personal stories and backgrounds organically mingle. Inspired by a sense of liberty, adventure, and discovery, the California creative launched Hotel 1171 in 2012 as an imaginary inn that thematizes and titles his collection. The line is best known for its vintage-inspired satin varsity jackets worn by Baldwin’s intended audience: dreamers, lovers, and risk-takers.
