2014 Manhunt Bahamas Now Accepting Applicants

Pedro Mejias of Nassau, Bahamas is a featured model in the Ray Vincente F/W 2014 Collection now seen on the cover and within the pages of Fashion Avenue News. Pedro was photographed last December by RayVin Photography in preparation for the launch of Ray Vincente 2014, a new collection featuring one-of-a-kind hi-fashion separates through the creative use of silhouette, fabrics, prints, and designs. The collection is exciting, stylish, and versatile and makes Ray Vincente accessible to all men!

Model Pedro Mejias began modeling in 2012 and is a model and actor. He has appeared in cinema and ads in the Bahamas and competed in the Mister International modeling competition in Thailand after coming first runner up in the Manhunt Bahamas competition. He has also appeared as a feature model during the NY Black Business Expo and NetRunway.com presentations in North America.

"Pedro embodies the energy, style, and masculine sexuality that are all inherent in the Ray Vincente line," said Ray Brown of Ray Vincente Collection.

"Pedro has achieved what so many models are still waiting to achieve; he has been featured on the cover of an international fashion magazine inclusive of a photo spread."

When the inaugural Manhunt Bahamas competition was first introduced,  Oswald Ellis, Star Model Management stated that “the competition is designed to provide a foot in the door for the Bahamian young man wishing to pursue a career in the fashion industry” and to date just that is happening for Nassau Model Pedro Mejias. Entering the competition relatively new to the runway, Pedro emerged first runner up and was ultimately named Mister Bahamas International. With that title he had the opportunity to travel to exotic locations to compete for the international title.

During the 2013 Manhunt Bahamas Competition, international U.S. based fashion designer, Ray Vincente was invited to participate in the show as the featured fashion designer giving the contestants the chance to model in real runway fashions during a competition. Both outgoing title holders,  Drew Palacious (Manhunt Bahamas) and Pedro Mejias (Mister Bahamas) have enjoyed a variety of work in modeling, with their lives being altered through the competition recognition.

"This is one of many opportunities presented to past and future Manhunt Bahamas contestants and title holders, and we hope that as we enter into the recruitment phase for Manhunt Bahamas 2014, we will discover more Pedro’s amongst the participants," said Ellis.
