They are definitely both learning in series 1. They are only copying other designs at first, even when they set up their premises. It definitely takes them a while to find their feet. The episode where they are arguing over their first collection seems to be a pivotal point for them. They then go on to design their first collection which is a roaring success (although with its hiccups - Yoland Hermaine!)
You're right about the clothes being daring. I like Daphne's response "What a devy idea, why didn't my dress maker think of that" (I think that's how it goes, not got up to that scene yet!).
Oh, meant to say, yes to S3 hair...AWFUL! Sometimes it looked nice enough, and others it aged her terribly. :/ I suspect when we get to S3 (fingers crossed) we'll have much woe about the hair situation!
They clearly both have talent for dressmaking, but don't yet have any idea about fashion itself. Daphne looks more 'trendy' than either of the Eliott sisters for example.
