ASSOULINE

Aspen Style Hardcover

Assouline Aspen Style hardcover explores what began as a small mining camp during the Colorado silver boom in the late 19th century and has become a preferred vacation spot for the world's elite. Treasured for what's above the ground rather than below, Aspen, Colorado's rich history is almost as dense as the roster of A-listers who have made the Pitkin County gem their second home or made it their home indefinitely on the hillside. From "fortified compounds" like Hunter S. Thompson's Owl Farm, to John Denver's "Starwood in Aspen," to the many financial titans who also call the mountain home , Aspen has long attracted a diverse crowd. Introduced by Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of AERIN, a long-time resident, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to its distinct charm, working-class history, and largely unspoilt romantic landscape that gives the town its unique charm. And continues to attract new believers every season. Explore the country-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, the local culture of Schlomo's Deli & Grill, and more. This luxurious book captures the mountain town's astonishing evolution over the last century brought to life with stunning current and historical images.
