From the clinic to the New York runway: our CEO Ossama Mansour walks for Calvin Klein and Michael Kors

Our CEO and co-founder, Ossama Mansour, has just returned from New York Fashion Week, where he walked for Calvin Klein and Michael Kors at a Macy's presentation. The whole Clinique Éclat Aven team is proud to see him represent Quebec on one of the biggest fashion stages in the world.

Under the lights, no filter

On a runway there are no filters and no live retouching. The lighting is intense, photographers are a few metres away and every detail of the skin shows: texture, pores, dark circles, tone. It's exactly the kind of light that reveals whether skin is truly healthy.

It's also what separates a good aesthetic result from a bad one. Under the lights, an overfilled or frozen face stands out. A face treated with care simply looks rested and well.

What the fashion world confirms

Current trends, for men and women alike, all point the same way: natural results. Smooth, glowing skin rather than heavy makeup, defined features rather than transformed ones. It's the philosophy Fatima and Ossama put at the heart of the clinic from day one: enhance without changing who you are.

Prepare like it's a big event

You don't need to walk in New York to want to look your best. A wedding, a photo shoot, an important interview or simply wanting to feel good: the same principles apply.

• Start early. Treatments that improve skin quality, like Morpheus8, microneedling or peels, give their best results over a few weeks to a few months.
• Book injections at least two weeks ahead. That's how long wrinkle injections take to reach full effect and for any small bruises to fade.
• Get the basics right. Sleep, hydration and daily sun protection make a difference no treatment can replace.

What about men?

More and more men are coming in for the same reasons: to look rested, keep a defined jawline and take care of their skin. If you're still hesitating, read our article on the 3 questions every man asks us.

Congratulations Ossama, and thank you for bringing Éclat Aven all the way to New York!
