12 November 12 - 18, 2008 l Planet Jackson Hole l www.PlanetJH.com updated daily the fashion files Travis McAlpine Age: 30 Occupation: Chef My style: What style? Jackson fashion in one word: To-cool-for-school (We allowed this 4-word hyphenate simply because of Travis’ last name and level of badassness.)

Jackson fashion in one word: Eclectic Favorite place to shop: Anywhere in Portland or San Fran vintage stores Clothing store that Jackson needs most: A men’s clothing store Clothing store that needs to go: Women’s Western wear in general – there’s how many leather and fur stores in this town? Best trend sighted in Jackson: The high school kids are down with good style; the kinda punk-rock-emoneon stuff. Worst trend sighted in Jackson: The Patagoochi trend Jackson’s fashion scene is often easily dismissed and frequently stereotyped. When asked to define valley style, “function” and “comfort” are commonly heard from the mouths of locals and visitors. Outdoor brands like Patagonia, The North Face, Marmot and locally grown Cloudveil are mentioned often around town. Although half put to rest with the last of Clint Eastwood’s Western flicks, the other familiar Jackson get-up – a good ole cowboy hat, denim and cowboy boots –– is still spotted on two different sets of folks: the real-deal cowboys who work area ranches and out-of-town imitators. However, in an attempt to escape city life – as well as the confines of the suit-and-tie mainstream – new residents bring bits and pieces of their old lives and the styles to which they’ve become accustomed. These expats of American cubicle culture create an eclectic mélange of Jackson fashion, not unlike cosmopolitan cities, though harder to find. Locals John Goggin Age: 30 Occupation: Terrain park soldier My style: Umm, I dunno it’s probably hip-hop for sure; b-boy. Jackson fashion in one word: Boring (except for the high school kids) Favorite place to shop: Internet Clothing store that Jackson needs most: F*ck…more snowboard shops. Clothing store that needs to go: The stupid pawn shop that doesn’t pawn sh*t – it just sells guns and knives. Best trend sighted in Jackson: All the young kids Worst trend sighted in Jackson: “I don’t jib.” fashion gripes, Paige Jackson Age: 27 and 1/2 Occupation: Barista/fashionista/board expert/professional My style: I change my clothes three times a day. Jackson fashion in one word: Outerwear Favorite place to shop: Boardroom Clothing store that Jackson needs most: It’s a tossup between Target, Old Navy and American Apparel. Clothing store that needs to go: There might be, maybe, one too many fur stores. Best trend sighted in Jackson: Tourists who wear matching outfits and couples that match. Worst trend sighted in Jackson: I think some people have bad manners and - I’m guilty of this too - the oversized beanies with reservoir tips. This winter you might find yourself wearing one and you’ll have to remember, you look kinda silly. Courtney Roberts Age: 19 Occupation: Salesperson at Accentuate My style: It’s urban but fun at the same time and comfy. Jackson fashion in one word: Insulated Favorite place to shop: Urban Outfitters Clothing store that Jackson needs most: Target Clothing store that needs to leave: Coral West Best trend sighted in Jackson: It’s not a very trendy place but I would say long sweaters. Worst trend sighted in Jackson: The damn moon boots. They have multiple colors of them at the Bootlegger and they are heinous.
On a brisk autumn night, rain dampened the pavement outside the Center for the Arts as a collection of models huddled beneath the theater entrance for a Planet JH photo shoot. As curious passersby paused to investigate, John Goggin, a JHMR terrain park staffer posed in a blue beanie and an oversized hoodie that mimicked a youth’s puzzle with bright hues of orange, blue, yellow and purple. Matt Grabowski – a.k.a. KMTN’s Terminator Matt and a Boardroom employee – took his skateboard to a neighboring rock and busted a tail stall, decked in a nouveau Western button-up, baseball hat and jeans. As the final group photo swelled to 14 locals, each person’s style reflected a personality, a lifestyle and an outlook. Fashion in a town composed of transplants is a fusion of culture and geography, and sometimes, a rejection of popular style. There is no one style; no one underlying theme. TALK style hype Matt Grabowski Age: 29 Occupation: Professional talker My style: Dude, What the f*ck do I say? I guess I would say it is 1995 Glen Burnie Jackson fashion in one word: Humble Favorite place to shop: Boardroom Clothing store that Jackson needs most: A general store on Town Square – hey, they would sell Carhartt pants. Clothing store that needs to go: Kmart Best trend sighted in Jackson: People rolling OG style – when I say OG I’m speaking about people kicking it ‘originale.’ Worst trend sighted in Jackson: All the bright colors; bringing back the 80s style; although I am wearing a purple hat right now. by Robyn Vincent photos by Derek Diluzio Kristen Todd Age: 24 Occupation: Student/cocktail waitress/caregiver My style: I’m business casual meets snowboarding/climbing wear Jackson fashion in one word: Hot Favorite place to shop: Teton Mountaineering Clothing store that Jackson needs most: Artsy, affordable boutiques and a Ross (discount clothing store).
