PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos
Islands
– Since showcasing his
‘Le Caicos Chic:
A Romance with Decadence’ at the
Caribbean
International Fashion
Week (CIFW) on June 8th in New York City, Turks
& Caicos Islands own Mr. Kazz Forbes has been busy setting the stage for
the continued growth and development of his brand,
Saint George Fashion
House (SGFH).
Recognizing
his meteoric advancement in fashion, Forbes has been personally selected by
Organizers of
Miss Earth Canada Beauty Pageant
2011 to be the official swimwear designer for this year’s contest. This is
not the first time Kazz has worked with the organization or his foray in the
world of pageantry. He photographed Jessica Trisko, Miss Earth Canada 2007 and
most recently photographed and styled Miss Tanzania Flaviana Matata for NuWoman
Summer 2011 magazine and recently crowned Easher Parker, Miss Turks &
Caicos Universe 2011 in SGFH attire.
Ronaldo
Soriano Trono, National Director for the Miss Earth Canada Organization
indicated in a statement “I first met Kazz in 2007, when he was an aspiring
photographer and model working in Montreal. That same year, our Miss Earth
Canada 2007 winner Ms. Jessica Trisko won the title of Miss Earth 2007 in the
international competition and we asked Mr. Forbes to photograph Ms. Trisko for
our yearly Miss Earth Canada magazine. He did, and we were impressed with the
results.”
Since that
time, Mr. Trono said, he has remained in touch with Forbes: “I have been
following his career with interest. When I found out about his first fashion
show in Manhattan, New York under his new company, Saint George Fashion House,
I immediately thought of asking him if he would like to collaborate with the
Miss Earth Canada Organization and be our Official Designer for the swimwear.
So I did and he agreed. I was ecstatic, excited and proud to collaborate with
the intelligent Mr. Kazz Forbes.”
On the
collaboration, Forbes said that he was humbled and honored at being asked so
early in his career to create a line for such a renowned organization. He noted
that “the line is in keeping with the trademark aesthetic theme of SGFH, but
giving the Miss Earth Canada contestants that pizzazz to show off their physique
during the swimsuit competition.”
Since his
New York debut, on July 8th, the Miss Turks & Caicos Universe Pageant
Organization honoured Kazz for his achievement and accomplishments so far in
fashion design and photography. Then on July 9th Forbes showcased a capsule
collection at the Digicel TCI 5th Anniversary Fashion Show on Providenciales –
his first catwalk presentation in the Turks & Caicos Islands.
“I am
living my dream right now. The opportunities to present my work and showcase to
the world have been tremendous and unexpected so early in my career. I am
indeed ecstatic by the support and encouragement many have given me. As a young
fashion designer I will continue to push ahead for the continued success of the
SGFH line and the advancement of fashion in the Turks & Caicos Islands”,
said Forbes.
The Miss
Earth Canada 2011 Contest will be held on Friday, August the 19th at Holiday
Inn Midtown Montreal, Grand Ballroom, Quebec (Canada).
