This summer, Libertine will settle in the mountains for a pop-up that promises to offer the brand’s signature playfully irreverent art-infused ready-to-wear. Nestled in the iconic Hotel Jerome from July 27 through Aug. 2, the fleeting occasion will feature everything from one-of-a-kind pieces handmade at founder and creative director Johnson Hartig’s Los Angeles atelier to special glimpses of the Fall 2025 collection and a few Aspen-only exclusives.
The brand, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year, has occupied a carefully calibrated niche among creative crowds since its founding (Libertine’s founder even dabbles in art-making himself—”JH Gouache,” one of the Fall 25 collection’s hero patterns, is pulled from a gouache painting that Hartig made years ago and re-encountered last year while sifting through a drawer.) Known for his fixation on handcraft, Hartig has something of a cult following among Aspen’s like-minded art lovers. “We are thrilled to be back in Aspen this summer. The town has been an integral part of our brand for the past 20 years,” Hartig says. “We love Aspen, and Aspen loves us.”
