A Weekend in Aspen With Chris Stamp of STAMPD

It is without question that Aspen is one of Colorado’s key destination cities. But given its growing popularity amongst tourists, it’s rare that someone encounters a native’s experience of the city – offering more than just the most touted businesses. Even though most of Chris Stamp’s work including his STAMPD brand is based in Los Angeles, the creative is actually an Aspen native. Since its 2011 launch in Los Angeles, STAMPD has been chronicling the extent of streetwear, which fuses inspiration notes from surfing, luxury wear and hip-hop. Even though the brand is still going strong and Stamp has his hands in other creative endeavors – one being Sushi Club with famed Chef Nobu Matsuhisa – a big part of Stamp’s heart resides in Aspen, where he grew up. To offer another side of his story, Stamp shared some of his favorite recommendations for the snowy city across dining, shopping and more.
