Livre Aspen Style - Assouline

Ce qui a commencé comme un petit camp minier pendant le Colorado Silver Boom de la fin du XIXe siècle est depuis devenu l’escapade préférée de l’élite mondiale. Prisé pour ce qui est au-dessus du sol plutôt qu'en dessous, Aspen, dans le Colorado, a une histoire presque aussi dense que le répertoire des A-listers qui ont adopté le joyau du comté de Pitkin comme résidence secondaire ou qui se sont installés indéfiniment sur ses pentes. Du «complexe fortifié» qui était la Owl Farm de Hunter S. Thompson, au «Starwood in Aspen» de John Denver, en passant par les dizaines de titans financiers qui habitent également la montagne, Aspen a longtemps attiré une foule éclectique et variée. Avec une introduction du résident de longue date Aerin Lauder, fondateur et directeur créatif d'AERIN, Aspen Style célèbre et rend hommage au glamour austère, à l'histoire de la classe ouvrière et à la romance du paysage pratiquement intact qui donne à la ville le charisme unique qui continue pour attirer de nouveaux fidèles à chaque saison. Explorant l'atmosphère rustique-chic de l'hôtel Jerome, l'excellence architecturale de l'opéra Wheeler restauré d'Herbert Bayer et la culture locale du Schlomo's Deli & Grill, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns, ce volume de luxe prend vie avec de superbes images actuelles et historiques. capturer la prodigieuse évolution de cette ville de montagne au cours du siècle dernier.

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.
