'Lady of Earth' swimsuit line used for the Miss Earth Canada 2011 pageant, designed by Kazz Forbes

Designer Kazz Forbes returned from Montreal, Canada in August where he attended the Miss Earth Canada Pageant as the organization’s Official Swimwear Designer and also comprised the panel of judges. Miss Earth Canada Pageant events took place August 17^th – 21^st 2011.  

Ronaldo Soriano Trono, national director for the Miss Earth Canada Organization, said: “I first met Kazz in 2008, as an aspiring photographer and model working in Montreal. The following year, our Miss Earth Canada 2007 winner, Jessica Trisko, won the title of Miss Earth 2007 in the international competition and we asked Mr Forbes to photograph her 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.”

Kazz Forbes sat on the judges panel for Miss Earth Canada aside from having his swimsuits featured in the pageant. Forbes hails from South Caicos, and has Bahamian heritage.

Forbes said that he was humbled and honored for being asked so early in his career to create a line for such a renowned organization. Kazz Forbes hails from South Caicos, and has Bahamian heritage. He endeavours to establish a first - a Turks and Caicos Islands designer clothing brand – for distinguished and fashion conscious clientele and visitors of the Turks and Caicos Islands ‘Beautiful by Nature’ shores to the international market.
