Beauty in Motion: Plastic Surgery as Art Fashion Fusion with Chiffique

Summary

This full-length episode goes behind the scenes of “Plastic Surgery as Art: Fashion Fusion,” a New York Fashion Week show produced with EPN NYFW that brought together Once Upon a Surgery, Dr. Anthony Berlet and the couture brand Chiffique.

Host Kerry Berlet takes viewers inside the day as real patients of Dr. Berlet become runway models, celebrating confidence, beauty and self-expression through fashion. Cameras follow the fittings, the last-minute hair and makeup rush, the laughter and the tears leading up to the show.

Along the way Kerry talks with Maggie Delany, producer of EPN NYFW, about bringing art, fashion and medicine together; with celebrity fashion interviewer Lucas Magnum; and with Amee Liliana, stylist and creative director of Chiffique, who explains how each custom look was designed to tell a story of rebirth.

The patients themselves describe what it felt like to walk a New York Fashion Week runway after their surgeries, and how stepping out in couture in front of an audience made them feel like a million bucks. It is a celebration of the idea at the heart of the podcast: that plastic surgery, done with artistry, can be part of a larger story of healing and confidence.
