While building his budding fashion brand Saint George Fashion House is a top priority for local designer Kazz Forbes, helping local youth to realize their dreams is always a part of his designs. Forbes has announced that he is collaborating this summer with the Edward C. Gartland Youth Centre on Providenciales to launch its second Fashion Club Program from July 2-23. A past student of John Casablanca School of Acting and Modeling, Forbes’ aim is to help local youth unlock their creative potential while they explore fashion and other career options. The club will meet each Monday and to learn the basic fashion dos and don’ts and style essentials, as well as print and runway modeling tips, explains Forbes. Additionally, club members will work on design projects and will be given an opportunity to showcase their creations in a fashion show. “The Fashion Club at the Edward C. Gartland Youth Centre serves as a program that encourages creativity, promotes self-confidence and helps our young girls believe in themselves and their dreams,” says Cherish Ferguson, programs director. “The majority of our members that participate in this club have dreams of being a model or fashion designer, and this program gives them an opportunity to taste that dream.” “Working with Kazz Forbes of Saint George Fashion House has been very exciting,” Ferguson added. “Kazz gives the girls an inside view of the fashion and design world. While he shows this career is hard work, he also exemplifies the fun aspect of fashion and modeling. Through Kazz, the girls have gotten training and tips on their walking, and they’ve seen how a real fashion show works. The girls were even introduced to Miss Turks and Caicos 2011, Easher Parker, and were given tips by the beauty queen herself.” The centre has benefited from this program immensely, according to Ferguson, who says the program is attracting more children to join the youth centre. “We also saw a huge boost in confidence; our girls were modeling around the centre without fear and with huge smiles on their faces,” she said. “We welcome any club that makes the girls feel as good about themselves as this one did.”
