Chloe and her mother take a trip to Los Angeles, where Chloe is combining a guest appearance on the new season of Teen Design Diva, with a tour of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, which is one of the colleges that she is considering, aware that her mother would like her to stay closer to Santa Cruz.

The designs for her college applications are due, and the Winter Formal designs for the girls in her class are almost done, and now there is nothing to do but wait and see which of the three colleges, FIDM, Parsons, or FIT, she is accepted to--and then decide whether her future is in Los Angeles or New York.

Her summer internship in New York City over Chloe is back in Santa Cruz, now a senior in high school and fretting over where to apply to college, and she is having a little trouble reconnecting with her old friends--until a new girl, Jada, suggests that Chloe and old rival Nina should design all the girls dresses for the winter formal dance.

Chloe and Nina have always been rivals, but now, as they create fashion portfolios for their college applications, they have come to respect and like each other, and working together is proving beneficial--but her best friend Alex is jealous of the amount of time the two are spending together.

Twelve-year-old Petunia is used to living in the shadow of her fourteen-year-old half-sister, Ava, their mother's favorite, but now that the whole family has moved to Paris for a year, Pet finds herself stepping into the light, making new friends, uncovering secrets, and, inspired by the classic French dolls she has found, revealing an unexpected talent for designing dresses--and her beautiful sister does not take it well.

Introduces kids to the history of fashion design and trends offers a number of projects they can do to make and learn about fashion items themselves.

"When Mia reads about a Design-a-Dress contest in a magazine for "budding designers ages 12-16" she is excited. But she doesn't realize how much work designing--and sewing--a dress truly is until she starts on her contest entry. While Mia stresses out about all the work she has to do, she and Katie have an argument about, of all things, fashion preferences!"--Provided by publisher.
