00:00:01They can't find a delivery anywhere.
00:00:03The entire Anya Winter Spring collection
00:00:05is missing hours before the Paris runway show.
00:00:07I can get the courier on the phone.
00:00:09This is a nightmare!
00:00:10Bad news.
00:00:11The delivery truck lost control.
00:00:1530 couture gowns.
00:00:16Destroyed.
00:00:17We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:19No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:20This is Anya's biggest collection ever, okay?
00:00:24She worked on it for years.
00:00:25And if she comes back and we have nothing to show,
00:00:28we're all dead!
00:00:29What other designer besides Anya
00:00:31can make an entire couture collection in just hours?
00:00:35Don't worry, guys.
00:00:37I can handle it.
00:00:39Didn't she graduate college, like, yesterday?
00:00:41She deaf looks like she just pulled an all-nighter in a library.
00:00:44There's no way some intern who grabs coffee
00:00:46and schedules Anya's lunches
00:00:48can design a whole couture collection overnight.
00:00:50Guys, there's no time to argue.
00:00:51The show is in five hours!
00:00:53What are we gonna do?
00:00:55Give me that.
00:00:59And this.
00:01:07What is she doing?
00:01:12She's not even using a pattern.
00:01:13I've never seen someone beat so quickly.
00:01:16The invisible stitching, it's immaculate.
00:01:20There you have it.
00:01:22A gown fit for the Anya Winter spring couture collection.
00:01:26This is impossible.
00:01:32I thought you were just some delusional intern, but this dress...
00:01:36Most designers could only dream of making something so stunning.
00:01:40This is gonna launch a million dupes,
00:01:42but none of them are gonna come close to the real thing.
00:01:44I heard Anya recently hired a fashion school prodigy who designed the iconic closing look in the fall collection.
00:01:50Is that you?
00:01:52Is that you?
00:01:55No!
00:01:56It still isn't right!
00:01:57Ow!
00:02:04Um...
00:02:05Miss Winter, I'm here to...
00:02:07I'm here for the fall internship.
00:02:09It's Anya.
00:02:10Why would I have time to interview some useless errand-running baby when the fall couture show is in two days and I haven't finished my final look?
00:02:20May I?
00:02:21Sure.
00:02:28So sorry that I ripped the fabric and destroyed the flowers.
00:02:31Sacrifices do need to be made in the interest of good design.
00:02:35Not everybody knows that.
00:02:37An entire team of couture legends and nobody could come up with something this inspired.
00:02:44Forget about the internship.
00:02:46You are gonna be my head designer.
00:02:49There's no time to explain.
00:02:51We need 29 more gowns to make before the show.
00:02:54It's 3 in the morning.
00:02:55Where are we gonna find fabric for 29 dresses?
00:02:57Take those crystals off the chandelier.
00:02:59And someone cut 20 yards of silk velvet from the curtains.
00:03:03And rip the fringe from the carpet.
00:03:04And the leather from the couch cushions.
00:03:06And the new flowers!
00:03:08Stack!
00:03:11But we're gonna destroy this place!
00:03:13Sacrifices must be made in the interest of good design.
00:03:17Anya will understand.
00:03:18Holy cow.
00:03:19This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.
00:03:31You're a visionary.
00:03:32Now let's kill this fashion show.
00:03:33I'm speechless.
00:03:34I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:35This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:36Dior who?
00:03:37Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:40You all head back to the studio.
00:03:41I'll grab some champagne.
00:03:42Let's go.
00:03:43Let's go.
00:03:44Let's go.
00:03:45Let's go.
00:03:46I can't believe Randy completed this entire collection overnight.
00:03:47I can't believe Randy completed this entire collection overnight.
00:03:48I'm going to surprise you.
00:03:49Let's go.
00:03:50Let's go.
00:03:51Let's go.
00:03:52Let's go.
00:03:53Dior who?
00:03:54Anya Winters is number one in the Boutour game now.
00:04:07You all head back to the studio, I'll grab some champagne to celebrate.
00:04:10I can't believe Dandy completed this entire collection overnight.
00:04:16Where'd she even come from?
00:04:17No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.
00:04:23What the hell is going on here?
00:04:28This is disgusting.
00:04:30Is this a design studio or the girls' bathroom of a club?
00:04:33We make groundbreaking pieces with our hands, not our big fat mouths.
00:04:37Jordyn, who is this woman?
00:04:39Is she working with you on the PR team?
00:04:41PR?
00:04:42This woman is the daughter of Anya Winter.
00:04:46Vanessa got her degree from Central Saint Martins in London and is currently an editor for Vogue.
00:04:53And she'll be acting as CEO while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.
00:04:58Is this really the design team that created the top couture collection in all of Paris Fashion Week?
00:05:03Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of incompetent yappers.
00:05:06If this is about the original collection...
00:05:08I didn't ask you to speak.
00:05:11You're fired.
00:05:12Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.
00:05:17Anya Winter is now the top couture collection in the entire world.
00:05:22Time to separate the fashion icons from the frogs.
00:05:26You think my mother is a hard ass?
00:05:29Just you wait.
00:05:30I expect only the most original exciting sketches, lightning fast designs, and perfect technicality.
00:05:38And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:40Who does she think she is?
00:05:42Miranda Priestly?
00:05:43Oh my god.
00:05:49What is this?
00:05:50Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:57No!
00:05:58That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!
00:06:04Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your seams.
00:06:07Jordan, be a doll and go get her a souvenir Eiffel Tower keychain as a thank you for her hard work.
00:06:14Oh yeah, and by the way, you're fired!
00:06:21Okay!
00:06:22Now please, can somebody show me something?
00:06:25A collection!
00:06:27Congratulations!
00:06:31Who are you?
00:06:32You.
00:06:33You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:37You're fired.
00:06:39Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:41Danny Maxwell.
00:06:43Jordan, what does this lumpy little girl do here?
00:06:48Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.
00:06:50She's an intern?
00:06:52Mmm.
00:06:53So what?
00:06:54You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom to throw a rager the night before the biggest couture show in the history of this house?
00:07:02That's not what we-
00:07:03I would say we could take out the damages from your salary.
00:07:07But you're probably not getting paid.
00:07:09Actually, she's our highest paid employee. She's making over $500,000 a year.
00:07:13Jordan!
00:07:15That's-that's confidential.
00:07:17So you're scamming my mother?
00:07:19You know, she might be getting old, but she's not an idiot.
00:07:22And what?
00:07:24This is how you spend the money?
00:07:26No, no. Look, the team is up all night working. Our hands are cramping. We're tired, but we saved the spring show.
00:07:32Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:07:36Celebrate?
00:07:38By destroying a studio?
00:07:42Lying?
00:07:43Talking back to your superiors?
00:07:45Drinking on the job?
00:07:47No wonder my mother had a heart attack.
00:07:49Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:54Unless, of course, you're just as useless as she is.
00:07:56Or do you actually care about this brand's legacy?
00:08:01Jordan and I have been dating for two years.
00:08:04He knows how hard I work.
00:08:06But there's no way he's going to throw me under the bus.
00:08:08Danny's my girlfriend.
00:08:09If I take her side, I'll be committing career suicide.
00:08:13You're right.
00:08:15Danny's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.
00:08:19Jordan, seriously?
00:08:20What are you still doing here, intern? Pack up your shit and get out of here.
00:08:26If that's how it's going to be.
00:08:28This isn't Danny's fault. She's the one who saved-
00:08:31Oh! Do you want to go with her?
00:08:34If anyone else here helped Danny destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.
00:08:41It's okay, guys. Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:08:45You've all earned your spots.
00:08:47It was my fault.
00:08:51Then leave it.
00:08:55How could you?
00:09:00Leave back.
00:09:02Dispose of that piece of shit.
00:09:07Baby!
00:09:09I'm so sorry.
00:09:11We've been together for two years. You couldn't even defend me?
00:09:13She would have fired me on the spot.
00:09:16Look, we both know that I don't have a degree.
00:09:20And it's a miracle that you got me this job.
00:09:24And if I lose it, then...
00:09:26Then who's going to pay for all the expensive champagne that we're going to have at our anniversary dinner tonight?
00:09:33Well, you better spring for caviar, too.
00:09:37You owe me big time, Jordan.
00:09:41I promise. I'm going to make it up to you.
00:09:44Let's meet tonight at 8, okay?
00:09:47Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:09:49I'll see you then.
00:09:57Your frumpy little girlfriend is a recipe for bad press.
00:10:01So are those other big mouth bitches.
00:10:04Not a good look for the PR manager.
00:10:06This day's not my...
00:10:08She better not be.
00:10:12You're hot, you know.
00:10:14My mother wants to start a menswear line.
00:10:17You could be the PR director.
00:10:20What do you prefer?
00:10:21An unemployed fashion flop?
00:10:23Or a rich, powerful boss?
00:10:25Say it.
00:10:27Mommy.
00:10:29What else?
00:10:31What else?
00:10:33Does baby need a change?
00:10:35Baby needs a change.
00:10:37Yeah, he does.
00:10:39Stinky.
00:10:41Stinky son of a bitch.
00:10:43Yes, mother.
00:10:46Mm-hmm.
00:10:49Stupid people.
00:10:51They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:10:53I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:10:57I have stylists breathing down my neck after that marvel of a couture show.
00:11:02I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.
00:11:04Thank God we have her on the team.
00:11:06I know how you can be, Vanessa.
00:11:09You better treat her right.
00:11:12Maxwell?
00:11:14Oh, God.
00:11:16Is that the frumpy intern I just felt like?
00:11:18You better treat her right.
00:11:20Maxwell?
00:11:21Oh, God.
00:11:22Is that the frumpy intern I just fired?
00:11:24Hello?
00:11:25I'm speaking to you.
00:11:26Yes, mother.
00:11:27One second.
00:11:29Is there any other Maxwell on the design team?
00:11:32I'm going to stop this at some point.
00:11:38She single-handedly saved my last two shows.
00:11:41A creative genius!
00:11:42I mean, I snatched her up right out of college to make sure those other couture houses couldn't get their hands on her.
00:11:49Without her, this whole house will crumble.
00:11:56Don't worry, mother, I'll treat her like a queen.
00:12:02You better.
00:12:04And there's another Maxwell.
00:12:06What is her name?
00:12:08Anyway, she is a fucking disaster.
00:12:11A brain-dead Nepo baby intern who never shows up.
00:12:14And when she does, she's useless.
00:12:16Do me a favor.
00:12:19Fire her?
00:12:21Thank God.
00:12:22Of course, that tasteless tornado I fired was just a pointless intern.
00:12:26Don't worry, mother.
00:12:27I already handled it.
00:12:32I'll come check on things the second they discharge me from this hellhole.
00:12:37Rest up, and I'll take care of everything.
00:12:43I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser.
00:12:46Now, where were we?
00:12:54What the hell do you want?
00:12:56The studio phone's been ringing off the hook.
00:12:58Well, who is it?
00:13:00It's Solea's team.
00:13:02Solea? As in the most famous actress in the world?
00:13:04She needs a dress for the Met Gala.
00:13:07She wants to see sketches for five looks inspired by the new collection.
00:13:11In one hour.
00:13:14Oh.
00:13:16Let's hope Maxwell can hold us up.
00:13:20Where is Bryn Maxwell?
00:13:24Jordan, get Bryn on the phone and tell her nicely to get her ass here now.
00:13:34What happened?
00:13:37I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection.
00:13:41But, guess they've got bigger problems.
00:13:46Danny, the bumpy dumbass.
00:13:49She left her old sketch portfolio.
00:13:51Oh my gosh, these are iconic.
00:13:54No wonder Anya was obsessed with her.
00:13:56I rolled up hungover five hours late after almost ruining the Paris fashion show.
00:14:04I'm definitely getting fired.
00:14:06Where are you?
00:14:08We need five sketches to send to Solea's team for her Met Gala look ASAP.
00:14:12Miss Winter said if you pull this off, you'll be on fast track to becoming creative director.
00:14:18Be right there.
00:14:20Why would they ask me, a brand new intern, to dress the most famous woman in the world?
00:14:26Whatever.
00:14:28I'll use Danny's sketches and no one will know.
00:14:31Oh my gosh.
00:14:33I'm gonna be a star.
00:14:35Well?
00:14:36Bryn's handling it.
00:14:38Nice work.
00:14:40Man, dressed in Solea, that's like, so sick.
00:14:44I know.
00:14:46This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.
00:14:49And as acting CEO of this fashion house, I'll be invited to the best parties with the most rich and famous people.
00:14:56And you could be my Danny.
00:14:59Unless, of course, you want to go with Danny.
00:15:05Where is Jordan? He's 20 when it's late.
00:15:08I don't want her.
00:15:11I was gonna break up with her tonight anyway.
00:15:14I want you.
00:15:16Duh.
00:15:17Mmm.
00:15:18Good choice.
00:15:21Guess I'll just drag him here myself.
00:15:24God, you're so powerful, so sexy.
00:15:28It's her anniversary and you're fucking the woman who fired me?
00:15:40She is a fashion superstar, okay? And you're just...
00:15:46An unemployed loser.
00:15:47You spineless dick.
00:15:50You psycho bitch! Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:15:54That's it, you cheating piece of...
00:15:56Danny, Danny, you are embarrassing yourself.
00:15:59I'm the embarrassment?
00:16:01Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.
00:16:04And now you're shoving your tongue down your new boss's throat?
00:16:05You know your place, you tacky, talentless slump.
00:16:12Face it, Danny. You're a fool.
00:16:15And you can't get mad at me for...
00:16:18Upgrading.
00:16:19I love to, Jordan.
00:16:24And the only reason you're here is because of that.
00:16:27Because I told Anya to make you PR manager.
00:16:30Are you kidding me?
00:16:32More ridiculous lies.
00:16:34You? You're a deadbeat intern.
00:16:36As if my mother would have anything to do with you.
00:16:39We...
00:16:42Are...
00:16:43Over...
00:16:45Danny.
00:16:49I'm calling security.
00:16:51Why don't you call your mother instead?
00:16:53The founder of this house.
00:16:55She'll tell you that you're making a huge mistake.
00:16:58You know what, enough with the bullshit, Danny.
00:17:00It's cringe.
00:17:01Is this how you got your job here?
00:17:03By spewing insane lies?
00:17:05Hi, security.
00:17:06There's a delusional ex-employee who's refusing to leave my studio.
00:17:13Aw, Danny.
00:17:14Don't be sad.
00:17:15Look, I get it.
00:17:17I'm powerful.
00:17:18Smart.
00:17:20Experienced.
00:17:22And you?
00:17:24Oh, you're jobless.
00:17:26Talentless.
00:17:27And irrelevant.
00:17:29Look, if I were you, I would go on home and drown your sorrows in a bottle of cheap champagne.
00:17:34Unless, of course, you'd rather spend your last night in Paris in a jail cell.
00:17:37Fine.
00:17:40I'm done here anyway.
00:17:45And where do you think you're going, Danny?
00:17:47Guards!
00:17:48She's over here.
00:17:49Who the hell are you?
00:17:53I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture collection.
00:17:57Bryn Maxwell.
00:17:59Oh.
00:18:00Wow.
00:18:01Well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.
00:18:05Oh.
00:18:06Is that an archival saline bag?
00:18:09Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.
00:18:11It's no wonder you created such a groundbreaking collection.
00:18:15These dumbasses don't even know that I'm totally jacking Danny's glory.
00:18:19Who cares?
00:18:20As long as Anya's daughter thinks I'm a genius, I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.
00:18:26Vanessa.
00:18:28I know who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring collection.
00:18:32She's the one that made the routing error that caused the truck to crash.
00:18:35She's obviously trying to sabotage the brand.
00:18:38What?
00:18:46Danny's done it again.
00:18:48You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?
00:18:51Danny Maxwell?
00:18:53She was just fired from Anya Winter's fashion house.
00:18:56The show's a hit. How is that possible?
00:18:57Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.
00:19:00Of course.
00:19:01I would love to see the look on Anya Winter's face when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of a daughter fired her star designer.
00:19:09Call Danny up. Let's get her here.
00:19:11But Anya Winter's is the number one fashion house in the world.
00:19:14We're not even ranked top ten.
00:19:16Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Danny's door already.
00:19:19You really think she would work for us?
00:19:20I'll do anything to get Danny on this team.
00:19:22Rumor has it that Soleil is looking for a new designer for her Met Gala look.
00:19:25And if we can dress the most famous woman on the planet on the biggest night in fashion, we'll be the new brand on top.
00:19:35Get the jet ready. I'm going to Paris.
00:19:38And I'm not leaving without Danny Maxwell.
00:19:40Sabotage? Are you kidding me?
00:19:45You can take the fall from my stupid mistake, Danny.
00:19:48Who will believe you over me?
00:19:50You were out partying all night when you should have been confirming the route with the courier.
00:19:53And you destroyed my mother's studio on your drunken bender.
00:19:57You all see me as some incompetent intern just because I'm not wearing the latest off-the-runway clothes.
00:20:02Maybe Daddy's black card can buy you Celine, but can it buy you talent, too?
00:20:05You think I caused that disaster? You think she is your savior?
00:20:11Well, then best of luck when Anya comes back and sees what a mess you've made.
00:20:15This is your mess, Danny Maxwell.
00:20:18I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate yes.
00:20:22Don't touch me.
00:20:24Jordan, don't let them do this.
00:20:26We both know you're not capable of handling the outcome.
00:20:28First you threaten Brynn, and then you threaten me.
00:20:31You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Danny.
00:20:36You know, jealousy looks hideous on you.
00:20:39So why don't you go ahead and pick up your mistakes and get the fuck out before you get locked up.
00:20:45What can they even arrest me for?
00:20:47Let's see. Vandalism, insubordination, and that sweater is definitely a crime against fashion.
00:20:54Don't you know that I can end your entire fashion career with one phone call to my mother?
00:20:58Then go ahead.
00:21:00Do it.
00:21:04If Vanessa calls Anya, she'll find out that Danny's the real star designer.
00:21:09Vanessa, your mom's in recovery.
00:21:12Shouldn't you go to the fashion council first instead?
00:21:15To make sure another fashion house isn't infected with Danny's terrible taste?
00:21:19Brynn's right. You should go right to the source.
00:21:21Do not let her get away with this.
00:21:23I have all my mother's industry contacts at my fingertips.
00:21:28I'm texting the fashion council now.
00:21:30Danny Maxwell is blacklisted from Anya Winter.
00:21:35Other designers, beware of this dangerous scammer.
00:21:39No other fashion house will want, you know.
00:21:41Good luck getting a part-time job at Forever 21.
00:21:44Guess that's that then.
00:21:45But before I go, I have one question for you, Vanessa.
00:21:50Does Anya, the CEO and creator of this fashion house, know that you fired me?
00:21:56What kind of an idiot do you think I am, Danny?
00:21:59My mother practically begged me to fire your incompetent ass.
00:22:02You thought you could roll up here in your bargain bin sweater and call yourself a fashion icon?
00:22:06Your career is so hopeful.
00:22:11Hey, uh, security, can you take her away and throw her to something?
00:22:14Jail, cell, police, whatever.
00:22:17Get your hands off of her.
00:22:22That is my new creative director.
00:22:25Danny Maxwell will join Claude Saint-Jean Fashion House.
00:22:30Claude Saint-Jean of Saint-Jean Couture?
00:22:32You came all the way from New York for me?
00:22:35Of course.
00:22:37I flew straight here.
00:22:40Nice to see you again, Danny.
00:22:42I haven't seen you since I interned at Valentino my freshman year.
00:22:46Wait, you went to Valentino with him?
00:22:51How'd you get that job, Danny?
00:22:53You scam your way into that one too?
00:22:55God, Danny.
00:22:57We went out and I had no idea that you were such a grifter.
00:23:00Grifter.
00:23:02I feel so, so used.
00:23:05So this is how Anya Winter treats their most talented designers.
00:23:09You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.
00:23:12Claude, I-
00:23:13That is Mr. Saint-Jean to you.
00:23:14And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.
00:23:18Yeah, what are you, a mid-level PR pawn?
00:23:21You should probably know when to shut the hell up.
00:23:23Mr. Saint-Jean, Danny here has done irreparable damage and-
00:23:27Sorry, who the hell are you?
00:23:28Obviously, I-
00:23:29I'm- I'm right. I don't have time for your rambling.
00:23:31Enough!
00:23:33This idiot destroyed my mother's collection,
00:23:35wrecked her entire Paris fashion studio,
00:23:38ruined the entire couture show, almost lost us millions.
00:23:41And why are we still talking about her?
00:23:44Did you not ask your mother who Danny was before you fired her?
00:23:46What kind of idiot do you think I am?
00:23:53My mother runs this fashion house with an iron fist.
00:23:56Of course, I consulted her and you know what she said?
00:23:59She said that this idiot Danny is a Nepo baby intern who scammed her way into the job.
00:24:05Brain dead.
00:24:07Anya actually said this.
00:24:08And a useless disaster. She quite literally said to me, do me a favor and fire this bitch.
00:24:15Anya practically begged me to work for her. She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.
00:24:20Okay, we all know Anya, okay? And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything.
00:24:25Especially to work with a dead weight intern.
00:24:27Then why are you still here?
00:24:30What you little-
00:24:31Oh, don't even try it.
00:24:33Danny.
00:24:35Will you come with me and be my new creative director of Saint John Couture?
00:24:38God, I-
00:24:39Hey, whatever you are making, I will double it.
00:24:41Okay, her salary is 500k. She's literally robbing us blind.
00:24:46A million it is then.
00:24:51Please, a million dollar salary?
00:24:53Your fashion house doesn't even rank in the top 10.
00:24:56Are you clinically insane?
00:24:59You're an even bigger bullshitter than Danny.
00:25:02A million dollars for a talentless intern.
00:25:06Way to dig your own grave.
00:25:08I thought I told you to shut up.
00:25:11Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
00:25:14Seriously, but it's not about the money.
00:25:17Danny.
00:25:19If you join my fashion house, the title of creative director will be yours.
00:25:23Creative control over the next season's couture collection will be yours.
00:25:25My designers, my studio, my full trust.
00:25:31And hell, if you want me, I'm even yours too.
00:25:35Oh, Claude.
00:25:37Okay, look, I get it.
00:25:39You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand, and I respect you for that.
00:25:43So let me remind you that Danny is a lazy scam artist.
00:25:49Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.
00:25:52In that case...
00:25:59Okay.
00:26:00What is all this shit?
00:26:01This shit is everything that your mother gifted me.
00:26:04Her one and only key to her personal studio.
00:26:07The business black card in my name, which I could have used to repair the damages, but...
00:26:10I guess that's not my concern anymore.
00:26:14You can tell Anya that I, Danny Maxwell, am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house and never, ever come back.
00:26:23Aww.
00:26:25So sad for us.
00:26:27Not.
00:26:29You did not deserve any special treatment, Danny.
00:26:31I mean, just look at you.
00:26:33Your complete fashion flop.
00:26:35You know, you are all so wrapped up in beauty standards and bullshit that you can't even see the design talent that is right in front of you.
00:26:41Danny, it is true.
00:26:44We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter for the number one title spot.
00:26:49Then I'm gonna change that.
00:26:51I'll join as creative director.
00:26:53And by this time, next season's runway show, Saint Jean Couture will be number one.
00:27:03You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Danny.
00:27:06Losing your spot at the number one fashion house to go and work for this desperate up-and-comer.
00:27:12Although, who else would hire you?
00:27:16Embarrassed. For her.
00:27:18You know Vanessa's gonna burn this place to the ground, and you are gonna be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.
00:27:24And something tells me you're not qualified for that, are you?
00:27:28Qualified? And what exactly are you qualified for?
00:27:31Propositioning idiotic interns to go out and peddle out your hideous designs to some micro-influencers?
00:27:39What?
00:27:42I did.
00:27:46She did.
00:27:49She will.
00:27:51Who is that?
00:27:53That was Solea's team.
00:27:55They've asked for five sketches from Danny for her Met Gala look.
00:27:58What was that about micro-influencers?
00:28:01If I'm not mistaken, she has more followers than anyone in the world?
00:28:06Absolutely not. Brynn is supposed to design Solea's gown.
00:28:11Brynn?
00:28:13Guess we got ourselves some competition.
00:28:15This isn't a competition. It's an all-out fashion war.
00:28:19Well, I hope you're ready to die on the battlefield. Let's go, Danny.
00:28:22Gladly. I'm losing brain cells talking to these people. May the best designer win.
00:28:28Don't worry about her, Vanessa. Just send these to Solea's team and there's no way she won't pick us.
00:28:37I'll be Danny with her own designs.
00:28:42Oh my god, Brynn, these are incredible.
00:28:46Between these and the spring couture collection, you've really proven yourself.
00:28:50I'm officially naming you as creative director of Ani Winter Couture.
00:28:57This is a dream come true. Thank you.
00:29:01And don't forget about me in the face of the menswear line.
00:29:07Great. One step at a time. Stick with me and you'll be very satisfied.
00:29:15Every designer will be gunning for our spot as top couture collection in the world.
00:29:22That's why we need to dress Solea at the Mechella.
00:29:25And no one can touch us. Not even Claude and that hack Danny.
00:29:30I won't let you down, Vanessa.
00:29:32Now, walk me through how you designed the couture collection in four hours.
00:29:37How did I do it?
00:29:41Oh god, I can't design for crap.
00:29:43I have no idea how Danny pulled that off.
00:29:46What the hell am I going to tell her?
00:29:48I used a highly specialized sewing technique that I learned in my final year of fashion school.
00:29:55The details are really boring. I could show you later.
00:29:59Of course. You have your own technique. You are the creative genius.
00:30:03I mean, these are already Met Gala worthy.
00:30:06If you can bring them to life half as well as you did the spring collection, you have nothing to worry about.
00:30:11Nothing at all.
00:30:12I am now the creative director of the number one fashion house in the world.
00:30:17Step aside, Danny. I'm the new couture queen now.
00:30:21What do you want?
00:30:26Anya, it's Claude Saint-Jean.
00:30:29Listen, I'm just calling to let you know that we are officially in the running to dress Solea at her Met Gala.
00:30:33What?
00:30:34We are the number one couture house in the world right now.
00:30:39Why would she want you to dress her as if some young, arrogant, dumbass could...
00:30:42Listen, I'm not calling to discuss this. I'm just simply letting you know.
00:30:46Cheers.
00:30:47What the hell is that rat up to? He knows I have a design prodigy at my right hand.
00:31:00Why would he think anybody could beat a superstar like Danny?
00:31:09Unless...
00:31:11Mother, you'll never believe the sketches I got from...
00:31:16Tell me you didn't fire my most talented designer!
00:31:22Calm down, Mother, or else you'll have another heart attack.
00:31:26Like I told you already, I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.
00:31:31Why the hell is Claude Saint-Jean competing with us for the Met Gala partnership?
00:31:37Well, I just figured it was pointless to talk him out of it when he's obviously going to crash and burn along with that talentless intern.
00:31:43They'll design something cheap and tacky for Saleya.
00:31:47And then she'll tell everybody she knows not to touch Saint-Jean couture with a 10-foot pole.
00:31:54And then their sad little fashion careers, they'll be over it before they even started.
00:31:59So you...
00:32:01Gaslit Claude into hiring our cast-off?
00:32:04Sure did.
00:32:05He's convinced that the talentless Nepo Baby is the creative genius behind our spring line.
00:32:10That's brilliant!
00:32:11And I thought you're a weak little pushover like your father, but...
00:32:18Maybe you're more like me than I knew.
00:32:20Vanessa, I want you to take full control over the Met Gala partnership with Saleya.
00:32:27Oh, thank you!
00:32:28No more talking.
00:32:30It's time to get to work and we need to make damn sure Saleya picks our gown for the Gala.
00:32:36We are going to make Claude St. John the laughing stock of the fashion industry.
00:32:45Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.
00:32:48Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.
00:32:50Are you sure she can handle this?
00:32:52Did I ask your opinion?
00:32:53My daughter can't fuck this up.
00:32:56Not with Danny Maxwell designing the gown for Saleya.
00:33:00Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude St. John to hire our strung out sad sack of an intern?
00:33:09I get to sit back and watch Danny work her magic for Saleya's gown while that hack of a talent completely tanks what's left of Claude's fashion house.
00:33:23So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?
00:33:37It's insane what you've accomplished.
00:33:40I mean, four years ago you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino and now look at you.
00:33:45Your own couture line.
00:33:47It's everything you ever wanted.
00:33:50Not everything.
00:33:52Well, what about you Danny?
00:33:54I mean, when I met you you were a quiet little intern and now you're a fashion genius?
00:33:59Nah, I'm serious.
00:34:00I mean, that work you did on that spring collection, it was...
00:34:04It's inspiring.
00:34:11Yes.
00:34:15Of course.
00:34:17You'll be there.
00:34:18So Leah loved your Mechella sketches, huh?
00:34:22She chose her favorite from you and Brayden and she wants you both to show her a sample.
00:34:26Oh my god, when?
00:34:28Tomorrow afternoon?
00:34:30You have 24 hours to make this dress for Saleya.
00:34:34Better get started.
00:34:35I mean, we just got back from New York and I...
00:34:38You created an entire couture collection in what?
00:34:42Four hours?
00:34:44This should be a breeze, right?
00:34:45Right.
00:34:46I can totally pull this off.
00:34:48Then do it.
00:34:49Now!
00:34:50You think you can pull off creating a Mechella gown for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?
00:34:57Who do you think you're talking to?
00:34:59Well, whatever it is.
00:35:01It just needs to be better than this.
00:35:03This is our competition.
00:35:05That's my sketch.
00:35:08That fraud print's been stealing my designs.
00:35:14Of course.
00:35:16She has no real talent of her own.
00:35:22Damn.
00:35:23That dress is insane.
00:35:25A skirt made of stained glass?
00:35:28Insane is right.
00:35:29It's gonna be nearly impossible to sew a bodice I could support the weight of the skirt.
00:35:34If Saleya puts on this gown, it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:35:38Prima wants to be a fashion icon so bad.
00:35:41How will she pull this off?
00:35:43Then it's an easy win, right?
00:35:45We'll just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.
00:35:48Not exactly.
00:35:50I'm gonna make this same exact dress, only better.
00:35:54Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.
00:35:56But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.
00:36:01I said nearly impossible.
00:36:07Bryn can try to rip off my designs all she wants.
00:36:11But without the brains or skills to back it up, there's no way she's gonna pull it off.
00:36:16And if she tries, that gown is gonna fall apart faster than you can say fashion victim.
00:36:21Let's remember this day, the last day that Claude Sejon Couture will be at the bottom of the fashion food chase.
00:36:32By this time tomorrow will be the new rulers of the Couture Kingdom.
00:36:37What the hell is this? Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress to the bottom of the dress?
00:36:47Oh my god.
00:36:49Bryn, the skirt is too heavy.
00:36:50I have no excuses!
00:36:52We have four hours to make a dress for Soleil.
00:36:54Gosh, I wish I was getting trash at a club right now.
00:37:04Bryn!
00:37:06How's everything going?
00:37:07Great!
00:37:08I just dropped my scissors.
00:37:10We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:37:13Phone call.
00:37:14I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:37:17Now!
00:37:18Don't worry, Mother.
00:37:19I have everything under control.
00:37:21That clown Claude and that fraud designer are going down.
00:37:26You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:37:28Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:37:33Keep it up.
00:37:35There might be another promotion in your future.
00:37:37If I can pull this off, I'll go down in fashion history.
00:37:45Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:38:02Denny.
00:38:04Denny.
00:38:05Wake up.
00:38:07Come on.
00:38:11Let's get you to bed.
00:38:30Good morning, superstar.
00:38:35This is it.
00:38:45The gown that can make or break me.
00:38:55You should be proud, Denny.
00:38:58It's exceptional.
00:39:00Just like you.
00:39:02Thanks, I...
00:39:06I couldn't have done it without you.
00:39:13Oh, God.
00:39:15I need to change what I'm wearing to meet the most famous woman in the world.
00:39:18Don't worry about it.
00:39:20I had my editor friend Marco pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.
00:39:24Pick anything you like.
00:39:25See you at the meeting.
00:39:33See you at the meeting.
00:39:34Oh, gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:39:45What am I going to do?
00:39:47Brynn!
00:39:48That better be the best dress you've ever made.
00:39:49Let's go.
00:39:50Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:40:03We're going to get that Met Gala partnership.
00:40:05In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:40:06Where's your top secret weapon?
00:40:08She'll be here soon.
00:40:09She'll make a big impression on Saleya.
00:40:11Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:40:18I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:40:22Her talent speaks for itself.
00:40:25Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.
00:40:31I just have to find a way to switch mine and Danny's garment bags when no one's looking.
00:40:36It's not like Saleya would even trust that unstylish little piece of-
00:40:39Danny, you look stunning.
00:40:53Thanks.
00:40:56Speechless.
00:40:58Is that a first?
00:40:59Are those that-
00:41:00One of a kind Anya Winterfall couture books?
00:41:03Yes.
00:41:04I am.
00:41:06Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:41:08She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:41:10They were a gift for designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:41:13What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:41:17Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern, but taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:22That's a whole new low.
00:41:24Taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:27Friend, I know a thing or two about that.
00:41:30Watch, he is-
00:41:31Careful now.
00:41:33You think you're some design protege, Danny?
00:41:35This-
00:41:37Give me that.
00:41:38This-
00:41:39Is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.
00:41:43If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's gonna see that I'm a total fraud.
00:41:50Saleya will see you now.
00:41:52Designers only.
00:41:53For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.
00:41:59Hey.
00:42:01You've got this.
00:42:02There's no way she's not gonna pick you.
00:42:08Everything is riding on this Met Gala partnership.
00:42:11Don't fuck it up.
00:42:13I won't let you down.
00:42:17Saleya is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.
00:42:20You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.
00:42:23Just don't touch anything.
00:42:27The dress you made?
00:42:29Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design?
00:42:32Or is it stolen?
00:42:35I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:38You mean, you didn't steal my portfolio and pass off my sketches as yours so you could dress the most famous woman in the world for the Met Gala?
00:42:46Tell me Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle?
00:42:52That dress you designed is beautiful but very, very complicated.
00:43:00How did you manage to pull that off?
00:43:02We'll just see.
00:43:04Won't we?
00:43:06Yes, we will.
00:43:07Oh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:18If I don't do something fast, everyone's gonna find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:22I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame, and I'm not letting Danny, that disaster, take it from me.
00:43:41Bye-bye, Danny.
00:43:55So, Leia's arriving now.
00:43:57No photos, no sucking up, and no touching.
00:44:01Unless she touches you.
00:44:02Got it?
00:44:03Got it.
00:44:12So, Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:44:14It's so nice to meet you.
00:44:16Where's the other one?
00:44:18She must be running a little bit late.
00:44:20I hate people who waste my time.
00:44:22I think she saw my gown and she felt inadequate.
00:44:25Let's see it then.
00:44:29Oh!
00:44:31No!
00:44:32Bryn knocked me out and stole my dress.
00:44:48I knew she was a snake, but I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:44:55The sample preview is starting now, and I have nothing to show.
00:45:02Or maybe I did.
00:45:10I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:45:16Sorry, fam.
00:45:18It's my Pisces moon.
00:45:20This is, like, the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:24I feel connected to it on, like, a cosmic level.
00:45:27I must wear this dress.
00:45:29I knew you would love it.
00:45:30But what about the other designer?
00:45:32She might.
00:45:33She's late.
00:45:34I'll give her three seconds.
00:45:35If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:45:38Three, two, one.
00:45:40Wait!
00:45:43I'm so sorry.
00:45:44I'm late, Celia.
00:45:45I had a little bump in the rug.
00:45:49I suppose I can forgive you.
00:45:51Mercury is in retrograde.
00:45:52Nice gown, Brynn.
00:45:54I wish I could say the same, Dani, but...
00:45:58Your stinks.
00:46:01Gee, I wonder why that is.
00:46:04This dress is so trippy.
00:46:08My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.
00:46:12Okay, but you're not, like, crying.
00:46:13I mean, like, mine is still better.
00:46:16Right?
00:46:17I wouldn't say that.
00:46:20What?
00:46:22Isn't that crazy?
00:46:24That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and Celia still likes my design better?
00:46:31How much longer can you keep up this shrink?
00:46:34I must know.
00:46:35What was your inspiration?
00:46:36I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and you get the trash and make a treasure.
00:46:49Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.
00:46:52Or like a rat from a dumpster.
00:46:55I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.
00:46:59Dani, I feel like you really get me.
00:47:01You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:47:03Okay, well, what about my vision?
00:47:06What about my art?
00:47:08Brynn's right.
00:47:10She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:47:14Brynn, tell us, how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:47:23Crap, I have no idea how Dani made this.
00:47:26What do I say?
00:47:28How did I do it?
00:47:29Um, you're not gatekeeping your creative process from Celia, are you?
00:47:37If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala, doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:47:45It's true. Celia doesn't like gatekeepers.
00:47:49It's a simple question, Brynn.
00:47:52If you can't answer it, then like, did you really even make the dress?
00:47:55I think the real question here is why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:48:02Clearly she's trying to steal my technique because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:48:06Okay, this taped together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:48:10It's an elementary school art project.
00:48:13Celia, you cannot wear Dani's dress. I mean, look at it.
00:48:16It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:48:19Besides, it's made out of New York Street trash.
00:48:24She's right. It does kind of have like a fishy smell to it.
00:48:29Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:48:33Well, obviously this is just a sample. The real dress would not...
00:48:37Okay, but my sample is pristine.
00:48:38I mean, Celia, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway, but...
00:48:44Danny's?
00:48:46Danny's is probably made out of...
00:48:48disease, rat feces, and...
00:48:51meat juice.
00:48:53Oh, God. You know I'm a die-hard vegan.
00:48:58I've made my decision.
00:49:00The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...
00:49:04Brynn's.
00:49:05I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala. It's too big of a risk. Even for me.
00:49:13Oh, I'm sorry, Danny.
00:49:15But it's easier to go back to trash when...
00:49:18You are trash.
00:49:20But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:49:26Brynn, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:49:29Like, like, right now?
00:49:31You made this dress in 24 hours.
00:49:32Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:49:36Once Celia sees Brynn for the fraud she is, she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:49:41Yeah. Brynn, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?
00:49:47Now.
00:49:48I really work better alone.
00:49:57Not today you don't. Do you want me to wear your dress at the Met Gala or not?
00:50:01This is it.
00:50:03This is it.
00:50:05The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.
00:50:07The moment my talents would finally be recognized.
00:50:12Celia?
00:50:14Hannah Summer, the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine, is here to see you.
00:50:17Oh, my God! And she's the chair of the Met Gala board.
00:50:20She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:50:22Maybe they're gonna do a feature.
00:50:24Oh, my God. She's coming up here right now.
00:50:25Wait. You're not Hannah.
00:50:29Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.
00:50:33I'm her personal assistant, here to deliver a message.
00:50:37On Anya Winter's suggestion and by the Fashion Council's orders,
00:50:41Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry and banned from the Met Gala for life.
00:50:46Banned? What the hell for?
00:50:57Insubordination.
00:50:59Sabotage amounting to millions of dollars in potential losses.
00:51:03A general lack of personal style.
00:51:07Those aren't just faceless lies.
00:51:10I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.
00:51:12How dare you come into Solea's personal studio, waste her precious time knowing you are hated by literally everyone in the fashion industry.
00:51:21Are you trying to tank her career?
00:51:24This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:51:28This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:51:31Get her out of here. Now.
00:51:37Congratulations.
00:51:39I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:51:40And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:51:47Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:51:49Hey, get your hands off of me right now.
00:51:53You okay?
00:51:55Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:51:58Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life, too.
00:52:01Banned? By who?
00:52:03Hannah Summer herself.
00:52:04The editor-in-chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny?
00:52:11This is the best day of my life.
00:52:13Mine, too.
00:52:15Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:52:18Okay.
00:52:20I am the real hero here.
00:52:23I mean, Zalaya's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.
00:52:26And Danny here is going to go get herself a little job at McDonald's.
00:52:29The fashion world is not going to miss you.
00:52:32I've given everything for this fashion house.
00:52:36And how do you repay me?
00:52:38By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:52:41Not everyone.
00:52:44Let's go, Danny.
00:52:53I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:52:58If you believe it, we'll get our latest post.
00:53:01Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:53:04I'll be giving the designer a very special shout-out on stage after my exclusive performance.
00:53:12Like, that's my dress.
00:53:13This should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:53:17Brent and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:53:19They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:53:22They're everything that you're not.
00:53:26You deserve to be on that stage.
00:53:29And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:53:32I know what I have to do.
00:53:37I'm going to sneak into the Met Gala.
00:53:41Hell yes you are.
00:53:43I'm sneaking into the Met Gala tomorrow.
00:53:45I have work to do.
00:53:48Let me handle that.
00:53:50Now, let's drink.
00:53:52Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:53:57Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:53:58Mmm.
00:54:00But it will.
00:54:06You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:54:09Didn't they used to call you One Cup Club?
00:54:12Oh.
00:54:14You're tall, but you're quite the length.
00:54:17I'm hurt, Danny.
00:54:19And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.
00:54:25Okay.
00:54:39Whoa.
00:54:41You were lightweight.
00:54:43Speak for yourself.
00:54:47Let's get you to bed.
00:54:49I used to wash the champagne.
00:54:50Seriously.
00:54:51My kidding.

00:54:56Wow.
00:54:57Oh, Lord.
00:54:59Wow.
00:55:04I suddenly feel very sober.
00:55:06Me too.
00:55:07What do you think?
00:55:08I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:55:22But what's it for?

00:57:53She's going to ruin everything.
00:57:57Champagne-Brynne?
00:57:59You cannot be here.
00:58:01You competed against me to dress Solea,
00:58:04the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala,
00:58:06and you lost.
00:58:07Okay, tonight is my special night,
00:58:09and I cannot have you ruining it.
00:58:12I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.
00:58:14I'm the guest of honor.
00:58:16After all the blood, sweat, and tears
00:58:18I put into making that gown,
00:58:20she stole it from me
00:58:21and dragged my name through the mud.
00:58:23Ben, why are you so obsessed
00:58:25with taking credit for my work?
00:58:27I do not have to answer.
00:58:30Face it, Dani,
00:58:31I have won the respect of everyone
00:58:33who matters in the fashion industry.
00:58:35I'm going to be up there
00:58:37next to Solea on that stage
00:58:38basking in all your glory,
00:58:41and you,
00:58:42you will still be a no one.
00:58:46You come in here dressed up like a servant
00:58:48expecting me to do what?
00:58:50Fall out your feet and go,
00:58:51oh, I'm so sorry, Dani.
00:58:52You are so smart and so talented.
00:58:56Never going to happen.
00:58:58I am rubbing elbows with the hottest,
00:59:00most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:59:03I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala,
00:59:05and you can't touch me now.
00:59:09And who exactly designed the gown your way?
00:59:12Do you know how much effort was put
00:59:22into making that spring collection?
00:59:24Do you know how hard those designers
00:59:26worked that you fired to save that show?
00:59:28You think Bryn is the one responsible for saving the day?
00:59:37Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?
00:59:40Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?
00:59:42And what have you done to prove yourself?
00:59:44Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?
00:59:46You know, the servant suit really fits you, Dani.
00:59:52I think you, uh, found your true calling.
00:59:55Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself
00:59:57that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?
01:00:00You know, we dated for two years,
01:00:02and I never asked you for a thing.
01:00:04But the minute Vanessa offers you 15 minutes of fame,
01:00:08you drop me without a thought.
01:00:09What will you do once she's used you up
01:00:13and left you in the dust?
01:00:15You have no idea what you're talking about.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:22Jealousy is a disease, Dani.
01:00:25Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded
01:00:28doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
01:00:31You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
01:00:35Are you really so desperate to steal my glory
01:00:37that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
01:00:41You must be psychotic.
01:00:43Really?
01:00:44And what's the word for stealing another designer's work
01:00:47and using it for Cloud?
01:00:55Claude.
01:00:58Did you come here to fall at my feet
01:01:01and beg me for a job now that my fashion house
01:01:04officially has the Met Gala partnership
01:01:07and yours?
01:01:09Yours is dead in the water.
01:01:12I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now,
01:01:15don't you?
01:01:16Not as much as you're going to regret
01:01:17putting your daughter in charge.
01:01:19Excuse me?
01:01:22Look.
01:01:25I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:01:29But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
01:01:35There's something you should see.
01:01:41Bitch!
01:01:42My star designer worked her fingers to the bone
01:01:45to make that dress for Saleya.
01:01:47Don't you dare try to take credit for her creative genius.
01:01:54Very soft.
01:01:55But if she worked her fingers to the bone,
01:01:57then where the count says.
01:01:58Ah!
01:01:59How dare you assault me.
01:02:02Leave.
01:02:02Now.
01:02:04Or what?
01:02:05So entitled.
01:02:07You know, you should be grateful to my mother
01:02:09for even allowing you to step foot
01:02:11into her historic tour house.
01:02:13I never said I wasn't.
01:02:15Your mother is one of the best designers in the world
01:02:18and she took a chance on me.
01:02:20I've always been grateful to her.
01:02:23Grateful?
01:02:23You've tarnished her name and reputation
01:02:26and now you're trying to sabotage
01:02:27the biggest night in the history of this fashion house.
01:02:30Just like you tried to sabotage the spring couture show!
01:02:38I'm the one that saved that collection.
01:02:40Enough!
01:02:41God, you are so embarrassing, Danny.
01:02:52You know, breaking up with you
01:02:53was the best decision that I ever made.
01:02:56You didn't need the favor, really.
01:02:59Thank you so much for saving me
01:03:01from a lifetime of disappointment.
01:03:04Disappointment!
01:03:05If we're talking disappointment,
01:03:06I think it's you
01:03:07because you're the one covered in champagne.
01:03:09Oh my god, is there security around here?
01:03:16This disturbed employee
01:03:18is trying to ruin my couture!
01:03:20And she put her filthy hands on me.
01:03:23Soleil is about to announce Brynn
01:03:25as the designer of her gown
01:03:27and you will not ruin this moment.
01:03:33Get your hands off of her.
01:03:34Vanessa, what the hell have you done
01:03:41with my fashion house?
01:03:45Oh, nothing, Mom.
01:03:47I fired Danny just like you asked.
01:03:49You what?
01:03:51Ah!
01:03:52Ah!
01:03:52I don't understand.
01:03:58Is it a mistake?
01:03:59A mistake?
01:04:00A mistake?
01:04:01I...
01:04:02Oh!
01:04:04Oh my God, Mom, are you okay?
01:04:07I...
01:04:07I just need a minute.
01:04:09Okay.
01:04:12Anya, are you okay?
01:04:14Oh, Danny.
01:04:15I'm fine.
01:04:17I...
01:04:17There's something
01:04:18I need to say.
01:04:20I can't let that old slut
01:04:22blow my cover.
01:04:23No!
01:04:24She shouldn't speak.
01:04:25She could have another heart attack.
01:04:28Security,
01:04:28get her out of here.
01:04:31I'm okay.
01:04:32I'm fine.
01:04:33Don't trust her.
01:04:34You're making it worse.
01:04:35Don't listen to anything
01:04:36this worthless server has to say.
01:04:38Take my mother somewhere quiet.
01:04:40I'm fine.
01:04:42I'll be right there.
01:04:44Danny!
01:04:44Hey, I said hands off.
01:04:47Unless you want to be cut it off, please.
01:04:50What the hell was that about?
01:04:55I know you've all been anxiously awaiting
01:04:58the reveal of the designer
01:04:59I've chosen to partner with.
01:05:03Bryn Maxwell,
01:05:04will you join me on stage?
01:05:07Oh.
01:05:08Oh my God.
01:05:09She had a poor joke malfunction.
01:05:12Break.
01:05:13Fuck.
01:05:13What the fuck happened?
01:05:16I told you not to fuck it up.
01:05:17I don't know.
01:05:18I...
01:05:19I...
01:05:20What are you looking at me for?
01:05:22You're the designer of the dress.
01:05:25She wants to be a star designer,
01:05:26so that...
01:05:27Let's see if she has the skills
01:05:28to pull it off.
01:05:30Someone needs to fix this.
01:05:32Now.
01:05:34Danny, Danny.
01:05:35If that dress splits anymore,
01:05:37this will be a major PR nightmare.
01:05:38I know you can do it.
01:05:40So, please,
01:05:41go ahead and fix the dress.
01:05:44Why would I be able to help?
01:05:45I mean, Bryn's
01:05:46the one that designed the dress.
01:05:50Did you fall
01:05:51and smack your little head
01:05:53on the sidewalk?
01:05:54No.
01:05:54Danny is a Nepo baby intern
01:05:56who knows nothing.
01:05:57And Bryn
01:05:58is the creative genius.
01:06:00Remember?
01:06:01Yes.
01:06:01Right?
01:06:02Right.
01:06:03I...
01:06:04I totally
01:06:05know what I'm doing.
01:06:07Danny is just
01:06:08a frumpy little
01:06:09service worker
01:06:09who wants to play dress up.
01:06:16Thanks, Danny.
01:06:17I knew you were useless.
01:06:19Thank God Bryn's here.
01:06:21I can do this.
01:06:23How hard can it be
01:06:24to fix a one-of-a-kind
01:06:25couture gown?
01:06:28I put my heart
01:06:29and soul into a dress
01:06:30so I will be proud
01:06:31to wear the backcala.
01:06:33And
01:06:33you built your couture house
01:06:35from the ground up
01:06:36and made so many sacrifices
01:06:37to hire me.
01:06:40I can't let Bryn ruin it all.
01:06:43I have to show
01:06:44Celia what I can do.
01:06:46So go show them
01:06:47who you are.
01:06:49Prove to Celia
01:06:50that you are the genius
01:06:50behind the dress.
01:06:57Bryn,
01:06:59the seams are delicate.
01:07:00The stitch has to be...
01:07:01Shut up!
01:07:02You're ruining her concentration.
01:07:04Um,
01:07:04are you the girls
01:07:05who was like
01:07:05banned from the Met Gala
01:07:06for life?
01:07:08Yeah, she is.
01:07:09She shouldn't even
01:07:09be here right now.
01:07:11I shouldn't be here?
01:07:12Look at the way
01:07:13Bryn's holding that needle.
01:07:14How much longer
01:07:15can you keep up...
01:07:16Just step aside
01:07:17and let me...
01:07:18Okay, somebody has to call
01:07:23Hannah Summer.
01:07:23The chair of the Gala
01:07:24will know how to handle
01:07:25this dirty little party
01:07:26crasher.
01:07:30What now?

01:07:33Party crasher on the Gala
01:07:35floor.

01:08:07I've got it.
01:08:09Fine.

01:10:50without substance,
01:10:52without talent.
01:10:54A true fashion
01:10:54genius should know
01:10:55that.
01:10:56Damn,
01:10:58that's deep.
01:10:59I agree.
01:11:00I'm pretty sure
01:11:01you're the one
01:11:02I shouldn't trust.
01:11:02I shouldn't trust.
01:11:23Danny Maxwell,
01:11:24you were a genius.
01:11:25I have never seen
01:11:30something so stunning.
01:11:32I need her to
01:11:33dress me like that.
01:11:34Wait,
01:11:35this means that I
01:11:36fumbled a super
01:11:37talented baddie?
01:11:39Oh, fuck!
01:11:41It's everything
01:11:42I've ever wanted.
01:11:43You saved this night.
01:11:44Holy cow.
01:11:50This is the most
01:11:50beautiful collection
01:11:51I have ever seen.
01:11:52You're a visionary.
01:11:54And this time,
01:11:56everyone knows it.
01:11:58Saleya,
01:11:59who are you wearing?
01:12:01I'm wearing
01:12:02Danny Maxwell.
01:12:07For Cossie Jean Couture.
01:12:10Shh!
01:12:11I can't be.
01:12:12Danny's the superstar
01:12:13designer that I've
01:12:14fumbled.
01:12:15This is what I've been
01:12:16trying to tell you.
01:12:17Danny is a fashion icon.
01:12:22You.
01:12:23You were never
01:12:24the fashion prodigy
01:12:25of my mother's
01:12:26couture brand.
01:12:27You were the
01:12:28brain-dead
01:12:29network baby idiot.
01:12:30She warned me about
01:12:31what is that
01:12:32strung-out
01:12:33deadbeat
01:12:34intern
01:12:34doing at the
01:12:35fucking
01:12:36Met Gala?
01:12:37I thought you
01:12:38fired her.
01:12:40I didn't fire her.
01:12:41I actually
01:12:42promoted her
01:12:43to creative director.
01:12:45You promoted
01:12:46this deadbeat
01:12:47and you fired
01:12:48my star designer?
01:12:52Yeah, I did.
01:12:54Do you know
01:12:55how hard I've worked?
01:12:56Do you know
01:12:56how much money
01:12:57I spent
01:12:59to get Danny
01:13:00Maxwell
01:13:00in my fashion
01:13:01house?
01:13:02She is the
01:13:03lifeblood
01:13:04of this brand.
01:13:06And what did
01:13:07you do?
01:13:08You fired her?
01:13:12So is
01:13:13that Maxwell
01:13:14along?
01:13:15Vanessa,
01:13:16you're fired.
01:13:18No, Mom,
01:13:18please, please,
01:13:19you can't.
01:13:19I need this.
01:13:21I'm embarrassed
01:13:21to even call you
01:13:22my daughter.
01:13:23When I turned
01:13:24this over to you,
01:13:25my fashion house
01:13:26dominated the entire
01:13:28world of couture.
01:13:29And now look at it.
01:13:30It's a laughingstock.
01:13:32You.
01:13:34You did this.
01:13:36I'm really sorry.
01:13:38She made me fucked up.
01:13:40How did I
01:13:41fuck up so bad?
01:13:42Hannah is the chair
01:13:47of the Met Gala
01:13:48and she personally
01:13:49banned Danny.
01:13:51You would not want
01:13:52a fashion outcast
01:13:53on your team,
01:13:54Al, would you?
01:13:55You have some nerve
01:13:57telling me
01:13:58what I did
01:13:59or didn't do.
01:14:01You duped us all
01:14:03into thinking
01:14:04you're a fashion icon
01:14:05when you're nothing
01:14:07more than a dirty
01:14:08scammer
01:14:08in a designer dress.
01:14:10Danny Maxwell
01:14:13is officially granted
01:14:15a lifetime invitation
01:14:16to the Met Gala.
01:14:19But you

01:14:26No!
01:14:26Take her away.
01:14:27No, please!
01:14:28Hand her over to the cops.
01:14:29She needs to pay
01:14:30for her crimes
01:14:31against fashion.
01:14:33No!
01:14:33Please!
01:14:34Ah!
01:14:36Danny,
01:14:37please come back

01:14:41how much
01:14:41I have done
01:14:42for you.
01:14:44My fashion house
01:14:45can't survive
01:14:46without you.
01:14:46I am begging you.
01:14:50Everything you gave me,
01:14:51I gave it all back
01:14:52when your daughter
01:14:53accused me
01:14:53of sabotaging
01:14:54a thing I put
01:14:55my heart and soul
01:14:56into creating.
01:14:57No, she's exaggerating.
01:14:59That's not what happened.
01:15:00It was Brynn.
01:15:01She was scheming
01:15:02to try to steal
01:15:02Danny's job
01:15:03the whole time.
01:15:04That bitch
01:15:05duped me
01:15:06and got me all confused.
01:15:07Seriously?
01:15:08Well, that confusion
01:15:10almost cost me
01:15:11my whole fashion career
01:15:12and everything
01:15:12I've worked for.
01:15:14Did it feel good
01:15:15making me take
01:15:16the fall
01:15:16for your stupid mistakes?
01:15:18Danny,
01:15:19look,
01:15:20I'm so sorry.
01:15:22I'm sorry, too.
01:15:25I'm not coming back
01:15:26to Anya Winter Couture.
01:15:28I'm staying
01:15:28where I know
01:15:29I'm appreciated,

01:15:31ever questioned
01:15:32my talent,
01:15:33my vision,
01:15:34my style.
01:15:35So please,
01:15:36step aside.
01:15:42This is our moment.
01:15:46And we at Claude
01:15:47St. Jean Couture

01:16:21Hell yeah.
01:16:24You better not show up
01:16:25at the office tomorrow.
01:16:26I never should have
01:16:28hired you.

01:16:34Vanessa!
