Jo Malone and Nick Leslau help two creative entrepreneurs enter the fiercely competitive fashion industry.  

Beryl Brewis is a 39-year-old single mum who is determined to keep Britain warm by knitting merino wool scarves and employing local grannies to help. After losing her fiance last year, Beryl is determined to get her life back on track by pouring her heart and soul into her business. Can Beryl realise her dreams of selling her scarves on the high street and providing a better life for her and her two teenage sons? Impressed by Beryl's steely determination, Jo and Nick introduce her to Pringle's Creative Director Clare Waight Keller who, along with Jo and Nick, must take Beryl swiftly back to the drawing board in the hope she can gain enough confidence to create a coveted high street accessory.  

Meanwhile, 27-year-old Claire English from East Sussex is hoping to make the jump from selling small numbers of her eclectic handmade jewellery at Portobello Market to securing a desirable business deal with a high end national retailer. Encouraged by feedback from fashion editors, Jo and Nick recognise that while Claire is an incredible British talent she makes only enough money to survive. Alarmed, Jo and Nick call on top celebrity jeweller Stephen Webster to help Claire focus on her collection and business acumen. With only eight weeks to turn her business around, will Claire's intense journey end with an invitation to pitch?
