Meet Phillip Albert, a 26-year-old up-and-coming fashion designer and Northlink College student, who embodies the college's spirit of excellence. Albert's passion for fashion began with upcycling second-hand clothes, leading him to pursue a formal education in Clothing Production NQF 6 at Northlink Protea Campus.

Albert's dedication paid off at the Khayelitsha Fashion Week, where his environmentally sustainable collection impressed judges and industry experts. His commitment to meaningful design earned recognition and praise, inspiring aspiring designers to seek formal qualifications and make a positive impact. "I encourage anyone who wants to be a designer to have a formal education and know the basics," Albert advises. "As I design eco-friendly clothes, I'm inspired by different designers whom I respect in the industry."

Adri Bell, programme manager at Northlink College, commended Phillip for his creativity, dedication, and style, saying: "He has a unique flair for garment design and a keen sense of environmental style. I do not doubt that he has a bright future in the fashion industry. With his N6 qualification and internship on the horizon, Phillip is poised to take his career to new heights and make a lasting impact."
