Product Description :

What started out as a small mining camp during Colorado's silver boom in the late 19th century has since become a favorite getaway for the global elite. Loved for what's on the surface rather than below, Aspen, Colorado has a history almost as dense as the repertoire of celebrities who have adopted the Pitkin County gem as a second home, or who have settled on its slopes for an indefinite period. From Hunter S. Thompson's "walled enclosure" to John Denver's "Starwood in Aspen," to the dozens of financial titans who also call the mountain home, Aspen has since attracted long an eclectic and varied crowd. With an introduction by Aerin Lauder, AERIN's long-time resident and creative director, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, working-class history and romance of the virtually untouched landscapes that give the city the unique charisma that continues to attract new followers every season. Exploring the rustic-chic atmosphere of Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, and the local culture found at Schlomo's Deli & Grill, to name but a few , this luxury volume is brought to life with stunning current and historic images that capture the prodigious evolution of this mountain town over the past century.

Product Description:

What began as a small mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom of the late nineteenth century has since become the preferred getaway of the world's elite. Treasured for what's above ground rather than below, Aspen, Colorado has a storied history almost as dense as the directory of A-listers who have adopted the jewel of Pitkin County as their second home, or who have settled in its slopes indefinitely. From the “fortified compound” that was Hunter S. Thompson's Owl Farm, to John Denver's “Starwood in Aspen,” to the scores of financial titans who also call the mountain home, Aspen has long drawn an eclectic and wide-ranging crowd. With an introduction from longtime resident Aerin Lauder, founder & creative director of AERIN, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, the working-class history, and the romance of the virtually untouched landscape that gives the town the unique charisma that continues to draw new devotees with each season. Exploring the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, and local culture found at Schlomo's Deli & Grill, to name a few, this deluxe volume is brought to life with stunning current and historical imagery capturing the prodigious evolution of this mountain town over the last century.
