Sponsor News: Sunday Riley Modern Skincare partnered with AFW

We at Aspen Fashion Week are proud (and incredibly excited) to have Sunday Riley Modern Skincare as the official makeup + skincare sponsor for 2012.

More Powder Days Forecasted: LET IT SNOW!

To a ski lover, there are no better words than “powder day.” Here in Aspen, we live for new snow. It is no secret winter had a slow start in Colorado, but things are really turning around. In the last 24 hours, Snowmass has received 6.5” and the current conditions are powder/packed powder. It looks like Mother Nature is finally shining favorably upon us, because snow is predicted for 7 out of the next 10 days.
This wide range of weather conditions has allowed us to utilize all of our fabulous ski gear, from extra base layers to spring-weight jackets to powder skis. We are all looking forward to hitting the slopes March 11-14, during Aspen Fashion Week, so keep doing your snow dances and LET IT SNOW.
