GQ: J.Press x Wind Vintage Fashion Runway

GQ recently profiled the vintage watches from Wind Vintage featured within the J. Press Fashion Week.

“J. Press’s new creative director, Jack Carlson, and Eric Wind, the famed watch dealer behind Wind Vintage, started out at Georgetown together in 2005. Looking for ways to rep his university’s colors, Wind strolled out to the school’s gift shop and picked out a grey-and-blue striped tie. Little did he know he committed a grave faux pas. Thankfully, Wind quickly established a friendship with Carlson and it wasn’t long before Carlson helped remedy his schlubby necktie situation and find a more fashionable alternative. “We were in our first month,” Wind tells me over the phone Wednesday morning, “and [Carlson] said, ‘We got to go get you the proper tie.’” That’s when the designer steered his new friend towards the DC location of legendary Ivy outfitter J. Press. “This is where you actually get the good stuff,” Wind remembers Carlson telling him. Now, Carlson (who founded the disruptive prep brand Rowing Blazers) is heading up Press—and watches are suddenly a big part of the picture.”
