Assouline's "Aspen Style" coffee table book takes readers on an unforgettable journey to the world's most exclusive ski resort. At the hand of author Aurin Lauder, an intimate story of discovery is outlined, designed with an appetizing mix of dynamic images, some provided by local photographers.

What began as a small mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom in the late nineteenth century has since become the favorite getaway of the world's elite. Aspen, Colorado is valued more for what is above the ground than below it. The history of Aspen, Colorado is almost as rich as the list of A-listers who have adopted the jewel of Pitkin County as their second home or settled indefinitely on its slopes. From the "fortified compound" that was Hunter S. Thompson's Owl Farm, to John Denver's "Starwood in Aspen," to the dozens of financial titans who also call the mountain their home, Aspen has long attracted an eclectic and diverse crowd. With an introduction from former resident Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of AERIN, Aspen Style celebrates the stark glamour, working-class history and romance of the virtually untouched landscape that gives the town the unique charisma that draws new fans each season.

This deluxe book explores the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House and the local culture at Schlomo's Deli & Grill, to name a few. The book comes to life with stunning current and historical footage that captures the miraculous evolution of this mountain town over the past century.
