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 Alisters 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 wideranging crowd. With an introduction from longtime resident Aerin Lauder, founder amp; creative director of AERIN, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, the workingclass 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 rusticchic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, and local culture found at Schlomo's Deli amp; 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. 272 pages; 250 illustrations. Approx. 9.84'W x 12.9'L x 1.57'D. Cloth hardcover; paper. Made in Italy.
