When aspiring designer Isabel Bookbinder bags a job with Nancy 'Fashion Aristocracy' Tavistock, she's sure her career is finally on track. Dazzlingly glamorous, this is a world that she feels truly passionate about - after all, she knows her Geiger from her Louboutin, her Primark from her Prada, and she's always poring over fashion magazines. Well, ok, the fashion pages of heat.

So, learning from the very best, the future's looking bright for Isabel Bookbinder: Top International Fashion Designer. Within days she's putting the final touches to her debut collection, has dreamt up a perfume line, Isabelissimo, and is very nearly a friend of John Galliano. And on top of that she might even have fallen in love.

Yet nothing ever runs smoothly for Isabel and fabulously fashionably as her life is, it soon seems to be spiralling a little out of her control ...

Praise for Holly McQueen:

'Marvellously funny' Jilly Cooper

'I think Isabel and I were twins separated at birth. I love her!' Katie Fforde

'Does exactly what it says on the tin: if you like Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic books and you miss Bridget Jones, then meet Isabel.... I'm looking forward to the sequel. Isabel will make McQueen a star' Louise Bagshawe, Mail on Sunday
