AFW Spotlight: David Peck

Posted on 22 February 2012

David Peck, the designer and founder of CrOp by David Peck, took a few minutes to reflect on Aspen in anticipation of Aspen Fashion Week, March 11-14. We are thrilled to have CrOp by David Peck featured at The Chateau at The St. Regis Aspen, and it sounds like he is equally as excited. Here is what David had to say:

What is Aspen style?
Aspen style for me is the perfect balance of sport and chic. You may be sweating, but you’re doing it in style!

Ski or ride? New gear for ’11/’12?
I’m super excited about my new Lexus CT200h. It’s a hybrid hatchback, really comfortable, and we can fit a TON of clothes in it for our trunk shows. You can’t beat the miles per gallon either!

Designers: Forecasted Trends for Winter 12/13

Posted on 7 February 2012

The team at AFW was fortunate enough to get a preview of next year’s mountain fashions at the SIA Snow Show and we have compiled a list that highlights all of our favorite trends for next ski season. Use these tips to stay ahead of the pack.

1. Bright Colors are extremely important for winter 12/13. Everywhere we looked there was one bold hue paired against another. We saw watermelon pink with lime green, eggplant purple with sherbet orange, and lots of brights paired with whites. Hope you have your goggles ready.

SIA SnowShow Denver Sneak Peak

Posted on 30 January 2012

The SIA Snow Show was amazing! The Aspen Fashion Week team spent the last few days in Denver with passes to the Snowsports Industries America’s tradeshow. The show is the annual see-and-be-seen, pulse-checking event for the snowsports industry. It serves as a platform for designers to showcase their next season’s merchandise to buyers and the press so that by the time the first snowflake falls next winter, the best gear and accessories are already in your favorite ski shops and boutiques.

Everyone in attendance was energized and incredibly excited to show off their products for winter 12/13. We spent hours wandering from booth to booth, drooling over the gear, accessories, shoes, and apparel for next year. Our favorite looks came from many classic designers that impress us season after season, as well as some fresh faces that we fell in love with at this year’s show.
