In the late 1960s, photographer Slim Aarons devoted his time to capturing the luxurious lifestyle of the rich and famous around the world. Whether it was in California, New York, Italy, France, or Spain- Aarons always showcased the pure authenticness of the style and culture during this time. In his own words, Aarons took pictures of “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” While his images continued to gain fame over the years, one of his most renowned categories was his Après-Ski photography.  

Après-Ski is a French term which translates to “after ski” or “after skiing.” While this was initially just referring to the post-ski day dinner parties and happy hours which were thrown on the powdery slopes- it evolved into a culture which would inspire fashion enthusiasts for decades to come. Men and women dressed in elaborate metallic puffers, fur-lined ear warmers and boots, silk-scarfs, and cable-knit, patterned sweaters paired with shiny, black sunglasses were so timelessly unique that we now use it for our own winter inspiration.
