Chris Benz at the young age of 24 has already won an Emerging Designer Award from the CFDA. An intern for Marc Jacobs while merely a college student, Chris Benz has also worked with J. Crew. There, he decided to pursue the business aspects of the fashion industry with as much diligence as he does the creative designing itself. His pieces are casual without losing their class, young while maintaining sophistication. Evening dresses paired with flats and military-style blazers matched with oversized shorts are two of many different looks one can expect coming down the runway during Benz's show, which for two consecutive years has immediately followed Marc Jacobs' line.
