To the dismay of local fashion designers, a foreigner was chosen to features his fashion collection at this year’s Red Rose Ball.<\/p>\n
The Organizers of The Annual Red Rose Ball in Grand Bahama Island have selected Kazz Forbes, a foreign fashion designer, to to feature his 2011 designs at this year’s event.<\/p>\n
Forbes, the principal designer of Saint George Fashion House (SGFH), will show his Fall\/Winter 2011 ‘Le Caicos Chic: A Romance with Decadence’ collection.<\/p>\n
The Red Rose Ball is a charity fund-raiser with all proceeds benefiting the Grand Bahama AIDS Awareness Committee in Freeport, Grand Bahama.<\/p>\n
The ball takes place on Saturday, November 5, 2011 in the Radisson’s Grand Ballroom at The Grand Lucayan.<\/p>\n
Under the theme: ‘A Night at the Opera House, Australia’ – the black-tie charity affair will include a five-course meal, with\u00a0 a fashion show featuring Mr Forbes collection.<\/p>\n
Odette Knowles, Chairman of The Red Rose Ball said: “After seeing Kazz’s creativity and designs – I was so impressed, that when I was in dialogue\u00a0 with members from the committee regarding adding him in with a showcase of All Black and Black & White to tie in with our theme ‘A night at the Opera House’ \u2013 they all agreed without hesitation. We are truly delighted to witness the development of a major talent in the making.”<\/p>\n
It is not clear if Mr Forbes has been granted an immigration permit to work in The Bahamas.<\/p>\n
