DESCRIPTION

What began as a small mining camp during Colorado's silver boom in the late 19th century has since become a favorite getaway for the world's elite. Cherished for what's above ground rather than below, Aspen, Colorado has a storied history almost as dense as the repertoire of A-listers who have adopted the Pitkin County gem as their second home or which have settled indefinitely on its slopes. From the “walled compound” that was Hunter S. Thompson’s Owl Farm to John Denver’s “Starwood in Aspen” to the dozens of financial titans who also call the mountain home, Aspen has long attracted an eclectic and diverse crowd. With an introduction by longtime resident Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of AERIN, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, working-class history and romance of the virtually untouched landscape that gives the city's unique charisma continues to attract new fans every season. Exploring the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Jerome Hotel, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, and the local culture of Schlomo's Deli & Grill, to name just a few, this volume of luxury comes to life with stunning current and historical images. capturing the prodigious evolution of this mountain town over the last century.
