Prada Princesses

The end of year show looms at the fashion college - and rising panic sets in among the students. Marina is furious about the tiny amount of time allocated to her designs for the show, and lets her prima donna streak run wild. Meanwhile, her mother is worried because Marina's father - abroad on business - has fallen out of contact. Should Marina drop everything to be with her mum, or stay put and see her college course through? Sinead is busy putting together her part of the show, which she's devoting to 'body art', while Frankie has decided to boycott the assessment in order to concentrate on her modelling career (much to the horror of her tutor). Travis doesn't help the nervous tension in the house: he's decided to film the girls 24/7 for his own project. With all this madness, will everyone complete the course, and win work placements in the fashion capitals of the world?

Sinead, Frankie and Marina meet at their first life-drawing class and are soon firm friends and flat-sharers. Fashion and design college is all that they ever imagined - but with more available men. And two of the foxiest live right across the street from them... But while Frankie's only thinking friends with photography student, Travis, Sinead has more intimate designs on him. And Marina is prepping herself to play Marilyn to gorgeous biker Rob's Brando... if she can just get his attention off the football for a moment. When they're not partying, they're working hard at their courses - Sinead on her intricate embroidered designs, Marina on her vintage-inspired fashion and Frankie on her funky modern jewellery. But when Frankie finds herself in a clinch with Travis, she knows the girls' friendship is entering stormy waters. Sinead's distracted by the threat of losing the flat and her first year's funding - but will Marina tell her the truth?
