Aspen Style

What began as a small mining camp during Colorado’s silver boom in the late 19th century has since become the preferred getaway of the world’s elite. Appreciated more for what’s above ground rather than below, Aspen, Colorado has a history almost as dense as the list of personalities who have adopted the Pitkin County gem as a second home or settled on its slopes indefinitely. Featuring long-time resident Aerin Lauder, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, working-class history and romance of the virtually untouched landscape that gives the town the unique charisma that continues to attract new devotees each season. Exploring the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, and the local culture found at Schlomos Deli & Grill, to name a few, this luxurious volume comes to life with stunning contemporary and historical images that capture the prodigious evolution of this mountain town over the past century.
