"   Chris Benz, one of the young darlings of New York fashion, presented his late-&amp;#039;70s-inspired collection yesterday in Chelsea. While backstage admiring celeb makeup artist Daniel Martin work his magic on the models, I grabbed Chris and got a few words about the collection. He was unusually calm for a designer about to present at Fashion Week, so I asked him how this was so. He replied, &amp;quot;I always like to get everything done as soon as possible and the collection has been hanging there since last week. We have taken our time and gotten everything good, and now it&amp;#039;s just about the models showing up on time, so we&amp;#039;re ready.&amp;quot; He took his burgeoning success in stride, though. When I asked him how he feels about being adored by the fashion media, he just said, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s good. I always say that when you work so hard at something and put your heart into things, and people&amp;#039;s expectations are fulfilled in some way, it&amp;#039;s such a nice thing.&amp;quot;  \u2014Rebecca Suhrawardi Austin "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
