Printed NT Fashion Hub
Stitching together community, training and future pathways.
About Adriana Dent:
A fashion designer, business owner, educator, mentor and advocate who believes creativity builds strong economies, confident people and connected communities. Fashion has shaped my life and what drives me is seeing skills turn into confidence and opportunity, especially where options are limited.
For 25 years the Territory has been my home and has shaped who I am today. I’m motivated by impact, seeing someone gain skills, pride and independence through practical outcomes over theory.
Built alongside my label Albertini Designs and 35+ years experience in the Textile, Clothing, and Footwear industry, Printed NT Fashion Hub is a social enterprise, cutting through ‘red tape’ by addressing a major gap in the NT, where no formal training or apprenticeship pathway exists.
I’ve created the Hub informed by local demand from Territory women wanting non-accredited training. The Hub will delivery - Training, Work Experience and Employment Pathways.
Printed NT is not just about garments. It’s hands-on training, culturally respectful and specifically designed to build confidence, leadership and a local fashion workforce that remains in the NT.
