Assouline book "The Classic Collection - Aspen Style".
The small mining camp during the silver boom in Colorado at the end of the nineteenth century became a favorite retreat of the world's elite. Appreciated for what is above ground rather than below ground, Aspen has a storied history. From Hunter S. Thompson's "fortified compound" of Owl Farm, to John Denver's "Starwood in Aspen," Aspen has always attracted an eclectic and diverse crowd. With an introduction by longtime resident Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of AERIN, Aspen Style pays homage to the austere charm, working-class history and romance of its pristine landscape that gives the city a unique charisma.
