What makes this series different to previous series? Trinny:This series challenges us more than ever; it made us question our doctrine. Susannah: It was also the first time we have been dressed by contributors. Which group did you find most challenging to style? Trinny: Being styled by the country set was hardest for me. The blandness of their clothing is something I have tried to run away from for the past 25 years. Susannah:I found being styled by the dog lovers the toughest.

Do you feel you learned anything about yourselves making the series? Trinny: I would say that I have learnt that our way is not neccesarily the only way. Susannah: I think the series has reinforced my belief in the power of womanhood and how supportive we are of each other. CAPTION(S): TRADING PLACES...
