The Aspen Style coffee table book captures the history and glamour of Aspen, Colorado through a rich collection of current and historical imagery. Featuring an introduction by Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of AERIN, it traces the town's evolution from a nineteenth-century silver mining camp to a celebrated mountain destination. The book explores notable landmarks including the Hotel Jerome, Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, and local cultural spots, weaving together architecture, landscape, and community. Its visual narrative spans over a century of change, documenting the rustic-chic character and storied personalities that have shaped the area.
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 travel coffee table book is brought to life with stunning current and historical imagery capturing the prodigious evolution of this mountain town - one of the most iconic in the United States - over the last century.
