The four fashion stories are:
 
The Traveller - An exciting collection of bold patterned garments with a hippy feel utilising Summer Tweed, Cotton Glace and Handknit DK Cotton including a long line 'Shaded Diamond' coat from Kaffe Fassett and a dramatic 'Tom Tom' cardigan from Louisa Harding sit next to the more restful 'Baluchistan Stripe' cardigan with plaited details from Sasha Kagan.
 
Funny Girl - Knitted in bright shades of 4 Ply Cotton and Cotton Glace, classic 40's and 50's styles are given an update.  There is a pretty camisole and a lace cardigan with fairisle trim from Sarah Dallas, a beaded short sleeved sweater, a leaf lace cardigan with contrast edgings from Kim Hargreaves and a fairisle cardigan with eyelets from Louisa Harding.
 
Ray of Light - Strikingly sexy garments knitted and crocheted in pale shades of All Seasons Cotton, Calmer, Summer Tweed and Cotton Tape.  The garments include a crochet dress, bolero with leather thong fastening and a mesh poncho.
 
Roman Holiday - A collection of new designs from men and women with a 50's feel.  The garments include an off the shoulder sweater by Kim Hargreaves and a 'Badly Drawn' sweater by Brandon Mably.  Other features include a Master Class on crochet, a look at a New York yarn store, alternative colourways, a designer bag article and 'What's New'.
