In Episode 2, Stevie and Ana talk Encounters. A fleeting glimpse of a stylish stranger while on holiday, an ongoing friendship with the woman who works in the local boutique, or bumping into an enigmatic stranger in a Soho club: often it’s the chance encounters we have that can really influence how we think about clothes.

Stevie makes a new friend, and Naomi Shimada tells us about her solo travels in Argentina. Sophie Davidson talks getting dressed for a memorable blind date. Ann-Maria McCarthy tells us of a vintage friendship, and Ana has a round-table on make-up and growing up with her school friends. Finally, the latest Loved and Lost segment comes from fashion journalist and erstwhile party reporter Osman Ahmed.
