It is generally disappointing to meet someone whose work you admire. Or is it? Chris Benz, design chief at Bill Blass, tested this precept when fate put him in a voice-over studio with film-maker Wes Anderson. Benz’s conclusion: Project Runway was a force for good. No, wait: he does make this curiously persuasive assertion, but in another context. Plus music from Cleek Schrey, also a force for good, all under the artificial stars of the planetarium at the Hudson River Museum.
