EPN NYFW Plastic Surgery as Art Fashion Fusion Featuring Luxury Designer Chiffique

Kerry: Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to EPN New York Fashion Week. Plastic Surgery as Art: Fashion Fusion. A celebration of beauty, transformation, and artistry where medicine meets design. Today is more than a fashion show. It’s a living gallery of courage and rebirth. Every woman on this runway carries a story of inner conflict, perseverance, and the triumph of reclaiming her confidence.

Kerry: They’ve endured abuse.

Were you wanting to kind of remove the trauma? Yes. Okay. Yes. All right. And plus to make myself feel better, not to make anybody else feel better, but me.

Kerry: Loss, accidents.

I was in a, you know, a really bad motor vehicle accident. Gosh. Yep. Was literally reversed into her face.

Kerry: The heartbreak of loose skin after weight loss.

My face looked melted. My thighs look melted. I put on a pair of shorts last summer and was horrified at what I saw.

Kerry: And the betrayal of failed surgeries by other doctors.

I felt betrayed. I felt like how could someone, you know, take the money of parents who just want to make their child feel confident and happy, right? That’s the goal, especially at such a young age.

Kerry: Yet, here they stand, ready to be seen. What you’ll witness is not vanity. It’s restoration. My husband, Dr. Berlet’s work is not about chasing perfection, but honoring individuality.

Dr. Berlet, thank you for coming. We’re going to get into it all.

Kerry: His scalpel, like a paintbrush, helps each woman reclaim her body and her voice.

Dr. Berlet: Everything I do in my life is all about sort of a visual aesthetic. I just love surrounding myself with beauty. I try to create it, you know. So whether, you know, I have a degree in architecture, so I become sort of an inveterate interior decorator and I just love doing it.

Kerry: Just like the exquisite designs of Chiffique, these transformations are one of a kind.

I have a very special guest. Her name is Aimee Lettich-Pearson and she is the owner of Chiffique, which is a ready-to-wear clothing line. There’s something about this material.

Aimee: Not only the material but it’s like the energy in every piece. I put a lot of love in everything I do.

And it really has an impact on you, like emotional, mental health. Like when you put this on you just feel.

Aimee: I think this collaboration is very hand by hand, the same meaning, because for the woman, going through a plastic surgery is a powerful decision.

It is. You get that special new you.

Aimee: Yes. And then Chiffique is very special for you, right?

It’s like this is a whole journey. It’s a fairy tale. This is like the icing on the cake.

Aimee: Whatever makes you feel happy.

Kerry: Today you won’t see plastic. You’ll see authenticity.

It went from cucumbers before. Brazilian culture, right? We have money for three things. It’s important. It’s very important. For your rent, for the roof that you live under, right? The way you dress, and aesthetics. Aesthetics. I got it.

Kerry: You’ll see art.

Everybody asks me, they say, “Oh, you look really young.” Great. I have to thank Dr. Berlet. That’s amazing. Everybody goes to him. No, you’re not. I am. No, you’re not.

Kerry: To the women walking, thank you for your courage and grace. You remind us that true beauty is not about fitting in. It’s about rising strong, healing free, and shining with confidence. Special thanks to producers Maggie and Hubert Delaney for bringing this vision to life on the EPN New York Fashion Week runway. Enjoy the show.
