Shop cutting- edge labels at Nuages, find runway items from Balenciaga and Lanvin at Distractions, and browse Italian goods at Brunello Cucinelli. Chat with individual store owners, attend private trunk shows, and discover unexpected local treasures such as the youthful jewelry selection at Pitkin County Dry Goods. 222 Roaring Fork Dr., 970-379-3844; shopawayaspen.com cold play BUNDLE UP IN CHIC OVERCOATS AND STATEMENT ACCESSSORIES MADE FOR THE MOUNTAINS. M oncler gave new meaning to the expression "runway to real way" this season, presenting a collection complete with male moon-booted ski attendants and a working chairlift. The design house's usual array of fur boots, shearling jackets, and suede outerwear appeared once again, but it was the modern iterations of oversize cocoon coats that most impressed. Cast in a dynamic gray ombré, snow-capped mountains made for alluring graphics that wrapped around the garments, immediately calling to mind the beauty of Aspen's own scenery. Layer the coat over an evening dress and bring a bit of stylish personality to your après-ski activities, or keep it sporty with form-fitting ski pants for a day out on the slopes. Inspired by traditional 1950s alpine goggles, Moncler's Achille sunglasses complete the athletic look, with an anti-fog finish and leather side detailing that protects against sun glare. Available in standout red and blue shades, or in a versatile black, the round-mirrored sunnies flawlessly balance style and function. 432 E.
