Who doesn’t swoon at the allure and sophistication of après-ski, where the stylish skiers – captured in their prime by Slim Aarons at Snowmass Village in Apsen – would strike a pose with a glass of champagne in hand, perfectly-framed in a moment of pure winter elegance.
In recent years, all you adrenaline junkies have been obsessed with channeling your inner Bond Girl, throwing yourselves down those death-defying pistes in your impossibly tight, jaw-droppingly sleek, “Perfect Moments” kick flair, ski suits. It’s like you’re all living out your own action movie, with speed, style and flair at every turn!
But what happens once the thrill fades and you finally click out of your skis, take off that helmet, and step away from the slopes to the bar or the party. Who are you then?!
Although I don’t ski or snowboard myself, I’ve always had a passion for the style and lifestyle that comes with the sport. So, lets’s talk about the effortless charm of après-ski nonchalance, where fashion meets fun and the mountains become a runway! I’ve curated a selection of my timeless items for Wendy, that’ll take you seamlessly from the piste to the lunch party, no fluster, no fuss, just effortless style with a few quick changes.
