00:00:00I can't find a delivery anywhere. The entire Anya Winter-Spring collection is missing hours before the Paris runway show.
00:00:10I can't get the courier on the phone. This is a nightmare!
00:00:13Bad news. The delivery truck lost control.
00:00:1730 couture gouts. Destroyed. We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is Anya's biggest collection ever, okay?
00:00:26She worked on it for years, and if she comes back and we have nothing to show, we're all dead!
00:00:32What other designer besides Anya can make an entire couture collection in just hours?
00:00:38Don't worry guys. I can handle it.
00:00:41Didn't she graduate college like yesterday?
00:00:44She definitely looks like she just pulled an all-nighter in a library.
00:00:47There's no way some intern who grabs coffee and schedules Anya's lunches can design a whole couture collection overnight.
00:00:52Guys, there's no time to argue. The show is in five hours! What are we gonna do?
00:00:57Give me that.
00:01:05And this.
00:01:09What is she doing?
00:01:11She's not even using a pattern.
00:01:16I've never seen someone beat so quickly.
00:01:19Invisible stitching, it's immaculate.
00:01:23There you have it. A gown fit for the Anya winter spring couture collection.
00:01:32This is impossible.
00:01:34I thought you were just some delusional intern, but this dress...
00:01:39Most designers could only dream of making something so stunning.
00:01:43This is gonna launch a million dupes, but none of them are gonna come close to the real thing.
00:01:47I heard Anya recently hired a fashion school prodigy who designed the iconic closing look in the fall collection.
00:01:54Is that you?
00:01:55Oh no, it still doesn't work!
00:02:07Um, Miss Winter, I'm here to...
00:02:10I'm here for the fall internship.
00:02:12It's Anya.
00:02:14Why 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?
00:02:22May I?
00:02:23Sure.
00:02:30So sorry that I ripped the fabric and destroyed the flowers.
00:02:33Sacrifices do need to be made in the interest of good design.
00:02:37Not everybody knows that.
00:02:40An entire team of couture legends and nobody could come up with something this inspired.
00:02:46Forget about the internship.
00:02:48You are gonna be my head designer.
00:02:52There's no time to explain.
00:02:54We need 29 more gowns to make before the show.
00:02:56It's 3 in the morning.
00:02:57Where are we gonna find fabric for 29 dresses?
00:03:00Take those crystals off the chandelier.
00:03:02And someone cut 20 yards of silk velvet from the curtains.
00:03:05And rip the fringe of the carpet.
00:03:07And the leather from the couch cushions.
00:03:09And I need flowers.
00:03:10Stat!
00:03:14But we're gonna destroy this place!
00:03:15Sacrifices must be made in the interest of good design.
00:03:19Anya will understand.
00:03:28Holy cow.
00:03:30This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.
00:03:33You're a visionary.
00:03:34Now let's kill this fashion show.
00:03:37I'm speechless.
00:03:38I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:40This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:42Dior who?
00:03:43Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:44You all head back to the studio.
00:03:45I'll grab some champagne and celebrate.
00:03:46Oh my god!
00:03:48No!
00:03:50No!
00:03:51No!
00:03:52No!
00:03:53No!
00:03:54No!
00:03:55No!
00:03:56No!
00:03:57No!
00:04:02No!
00:04:03No!
00:04:05No!
00:04:06No!
00:04:07No!
00:04:08No!
00:04:09No!
00:04:10No!
00:04:11No!
00:04:12I can't believe Danny completed this entire collection overnight.
00:04:18Where'd she even come from?
00:04:19No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.
00:04:27What the hell is going on here?
00:04:29This is disgusting.
00:04:31Is this a design studio or the girls' bathroom of a club?
00:04:35We make groundbreaking pieces with our hands, not our big fat mouths.
00:04:39Jordan, who is this woman?
00:04:40Is she working with you on the PR team?
00:04:42PR?
00:04:43This woman is the daughter of Anya Winter.
00:04:47Vanessa got her degree from Central Saint Martins in London and is currently an editor for Vogue.
00:04:54And she'll be acting as CEO while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.
00:04:59Is this really the design team that created the top couture collection in all of Paris Fashion Week?
00:05:05Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of incompetent yappers.
00:05:08If this is about the original collection...
00:05:10I didn't ask you to speak.
00:05:13You're fired.
00:05:14Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.
00:05:20Anya Winter is now the top couture collection in the entire world.
00:05:24Time to separate the fashion icons from the frogs.
00:05:28You think my mother is a hard ass?
00:05:30Just you wait.
00:05:31I expect only the most original, exciting sketches, lightning-fast designs, and perfect technicality.
00:05:40And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:42Who does she think she is?
00:05:44Miranda Priestly?
00:05:44Oh my god.
00:05:50What is this?
00:05:52Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:58No!
00:06:00That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!
00:06:02Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your steam.
00:06:09Jordan, be a doll and go get her a souvenir Eiffel Tower keychain as a thank you for her hard work.
00:06:16Oh yeah, and by the way, you're fired!
00:06:18Okay, now please, can somebody show me something? A collection?
00:06:28Congratulations!
00:06:32Who are you?
00:06:33You.
00:06:35You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:38You're fired.
00:06:40Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:43Danny Maxwell.
00:06:44Well, Jordan, what does this lumpy little girl do here?
00:06:49Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.
00:06:51She's an intern?
00:06:53Mmm.
00:06:54So what?
00:06:55You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom to throw a rager
00:06:59the night before the biggest couture show in the history of this house?
00:07:03That's not what we...
00:07:05I would say we could take out the damages from your salary.
00:07:08But you're probably not getting paid.
00:07:11Actually, she's our highest paid employee.
00:07:12She's making over $500,000 a year.
00:07:15Jordan!
00:07:16That's...
00:07:16That's confidential.
00:07:18So you're scamming my mother?
00:07:20You know, she might be getting old, but she's not an idiot.
00:07:24And what?
00:07:25This is how you spend the money?
00:07:27No, no.
00:07:28Look, the team was up all night working.
00:07:30Our hands are cramping.
00:07:31We're tired, but we saved the spring show.
00:07:34Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:07:38Celebrate.
00:07:38By destroying a studio, lying, talking back to your superiors, drinking on the job?
00:07:48No wonder my mother had a heart attack.
00:07:51Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:55Unless, of course, you're just as useful as she is.
00:07:58Or do you actually care about this brand's legacy?
00:08:02Jordan and I have been dating for two years.
00:08:05He knows how hard I work.
00:08:07But there's no way he's going to throw me under the bus.
00:08:09Danny's my girlfriend.
00:08:10If I take her side, I'll be committing career suicide.
00:08:14You're right.
00:08:16Danny's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.
00:08:20Jordan, seriously?
00:08:22What are you still doing here, intern?
00:08:25Pack up your shit and get out of here.
00:08:27If that's how it's going to be.
00:08:28This isn't Danny's fault.
00:08:30She's the one who saved...
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32Do you want to go with her?
00:08:35If anyone else here helps Danny destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.
00:08:42It's okay, guys.
00:08:43Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:08:45You've all earned your spots.
00:08:47It was my fault.
00:08:51And leave it.
00:08:56How could you?
00:09:01We'll be back.
00:09:03Dispose of that piece of shit.
00:09:07Baby!
00:09:09I'm so sorry.
00:09:11We've been together for two years.
00:09:13You couldn't even defend me?
00:09:14She would have fired me on the spot.
00:09:17Look.
00:09:18We both know that I don't have a degree.
00:09:21And it's a miracle that you got me this job.
00:09:25And if I lose it, then...
00:09:27Then who's going to pay for all the expensive champagne that we're going to have at our anniversary dinner tonight?
00:09:34Well, 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 eight.
00:09:46Okay?
00:09:47Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:09:51I'll see you then.
00:09:51You're frumpy little girlfriend is a recipe for bad press.
00:10:02So are those other big-mouth bitches.
00:10:05Not a good look for the PR manager.
00:10:07Thanks, not my...
00:10:08She better not be.
00:10:11Hmm.
00:10:12You're hot, you know.
00:10:15My mother wants to start a menswear line.
00:10:18You could be the PR director.
00:10:21What do you prefer?
00:10:22An unemployed fashion flop?
00:10:24Or a rich, powerful boss?
00:10:29Say it.
00:10:31Mommy?
00:10:31What else?
00:10:34What else?
00:10:36Does baby need a change?
00:10:38Baby needs a change.
00:10:40Yeah, he does.
00:10:41It's stinky.
00:10:42It's stinky, son.
00:10:44Yes, mother.
00:10:47Mm-hmm.
00:10:50Stupid people.
00:10:52They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:10:57Oh.
00:10:57I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:11:02I have stylists breathing down my neck
00:11:04after that marvel of a couture show.
00:11:07I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.
00:11:09Thank God we have her on the team.
00:11:12I know how you can be, Vanessa.
00:11:15You better treat her right.
00:11:19Maxwell?
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?
00:11:32Oh, I must have sent me a stab for this at some point.
00:11:34Oh, God.
00:11:38She single-handedly saved my last two shows.
00:11:41A creative genius.
00:11:43I mean, I snatched her up right out of college
00:11:46to make sure those other couture houses
00:11:47couldn't get their hands on her.
00:11:49Without her,
00:11:50this whole house will crumble.
00:11:59Don't worry, Mother.
00:12:00I'll treat her like a queen.
00:12:02You better.
00:12:03And there's another Maxwell.
00:12:05Oh, what is her name?
00:12:08Anyway, she is a fucking disaster.
00:12:11A brain-dead Nepo baby intern
00:12:13who never shows up.
00:12:14And when she does,
00:12:15she's useless.
00:12:18Do me a favor.
00:12:19Fire her.
00:12:21Thank God.
00:12:22Of course,
00:12:23that tasteless tornado I fired
00:12:24was just a pointless intern.
00:12:26Don't worry, Mother.
00:12:28I already handled it.
00:12:32I'll come check on things
00:12:34the second they discharge me
00:12:36from this hellhole.
00:12:38Rest up,
00:12:39and I'll take care of everything.
00:12:40I knew that girlfriend of yours
00:12:45was a loser.
00:12:47Now,
00:12:48where were we?
00:12:54What the hell do you want?
00:12:56The studio phone's
00:12:57been ringing off the hook.
00:12:58Well,
00:12:59who is it?
00:13:00It's Solea's team.
00:13:02Solea?
00:13:03As in the most famous actress
00:13:04in the world?
00:13:05She needs a dress
00:13:05for the Met Gala.
00:13:07She wants to see sketches
00:13:08for five looks
00:13:09inspired by the new
00:13:10collection
00:13:10in one hour.
00:13:15Well,
00:13:16let's hope Maxwell
00:13:17can pull this off.
00:13:20Where is Bryn Maxwell?
00:13:24Jordan,
00:13:25get Bryn on the phone
00:13:26and tell her nicely
00:13:27to get her ass here
00:13:28now.
00:13:36What happened?
00:13:37I thought everyone
00:13:38would hate me
00:13:39for causing the crash
00:13:40that destroyed
00:13:40the whole collection,
00:13:41but I guess
00:13:43they've got bigger problems.
00:13:46Danny,
00:13:47the grumpy dumbass.
00:13:49She left her
00:13:50whole sketch portfolio.
00:13:51Oh my gosh,
00:13:52these are iconic.
00:13:54No wonder Anya
00:13:55was obsessed with her.
00:13:56I rolled up hungover.
00:13:59I rolled up hungover
00:13:59five hours late
00:14:01after almost ruining
00:14:02the Paris fashion show.
00:14:04I'm definitely getting fired.
00:14:07Where are you?
00:14:08We need five sketches
00:14:09to send to Solea's team
00:14:10for her Met Gala look
00:14:11ASAP.
00:14:12Miss Winter said
00:14:13if you pull this off,
00:14:14you'll be on fast track
00:14:15to becoming
00:14:16creative director.
00:14:18Be right there.
00:14:18Why would they ask me,
00:14:22a brand new intern,
00:14:24to dress the most famous
00:14:25woman in the world?
00:14:26Whatever.
00:14:27I'll use Danny's sketches
00:14:29and no one will know.
00:14:31Oh my gosh,
00:14:32I'm going to be a star.
00:14:33Well?
00:14:36Bryn's handling it.
00:14:37Nice work.
00:14:39Man,
00:14:40dressed in Solea,
00:14:41that's like,
00:14:42I'm so sick.
00:14:43I know.
00:14:44This partnership
00:14:45will take this brand
00:14:46to a whole new level.
00:14:49And as acting CEO
00:14:50of this fashion house,
00:14:51I'll be invited
00:14:52to the best parties
00:14:53with the most rich
00:14:54and famous people.
00:14:56And you can be my D.
00:14:58Unless, of course,
00:14:59you want to go with Danny.
00:15:01Where is Jordan?
00:15:06He's 20 when it's late.
00:15:08I don't want her.
00:15:11I was going to
00:15:12break up with her
00:15:12tonight anyway.
00:15:14I want you.
00:15:16Duh.
00:15:17Hmm.
00:15:18Good choice.
00:15:21Guess I'll just
00:15:22drag him here myself.
00:15:25Gosh, you're so powerful,
00:15:27so sexy.
00:15:31It's her anniversary
00:15:37and you're fucking
00:15:38the woman who fired me?
00:15:40She is a fashion superstar,
00:15:45okay?
00:15:45And you're just
00:15:45an unemployed loser.
00:15:48You spineless dick.
00:15:51You psycho bitch!
00:15:52Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:15:53That's it,
00:15:54you cheating piece of...
00:15:55Danny, Danny,
00:15:56you are embarrassing yourself.
00:15:58I'm the embarrassment.
00:15:59Danny, three hours ago
00:16:01you were begging
00:16:02for my forgiveness
00:16:03and now you're
00:16:04shoving your tongue
00:16:04down your new box
00:16:05and throw it.
00:16:06Fuck!
00:16:07Know your place,
00:16:08you tacky,
00:16:09talentless slump.
00:16:12Face it, Danny.
00:16:13You're a fool.
00:16:15And you can't get mad
00:16:16at me for...
00:16:17upgrading.
00:16:21I love to, Jordan.
00:16:24And the only reason
00:16:25you're here
00:16:25is because of me.
00:16:26Because I told Anya
00:16:28to make you PR manager.
00:16:29Are you kidding me?
00:16:31More ridiculous lies.
00:16:33You?
00:16:34You're a deadbeat intern.
00:16:35As if my mother
00:16:37would have anything
00:16:38to do with you.
00:16:40We are over.
00:16:44Danny.
00:16:48I'm calling security.
00:16:49Why don't you call
00:16:50your mother instead?
00:16:51The founder
00:16:52of this house.
00:16:54She'll tell you
00:16:54that you're making
00:16:55a huge mistake.
00:16:57You know what,
00:16:57enough with the bullshit,
00:16:58Danny.
00:16:59It's cringe.
00:17:00Is this how you got
00:17:00your job here?
00:17:02By spewing insane lies?
00:17:03Hi, security.
00:17:05Yes, there's a delusional
00:17:06ex-employee
00:17:07who's refusing
00:17:08to leave my studio.
00:17:12Oh, Danny.
00:17:13Don't be sad.
00:17:14Look, I get it.
00:17:15I'm powerful,
00:17:17smart,
00:17:19experienced.
00:17:21And you?
00:17:23Oh, you're jobless,
00:17:25talentless,
00:17:26and irrelevant.
00:17:27Look, if I were you,
00:17:29I would go on home
00:17:30and drown your sorrows
00:17:31in a bottle of cheap champagne.
00:17:34Unless, of course,
00:17:34you'd rather spend
00:17:35your last night
00:17:35in Paris in a jail cell.
00:17:37Fine.
00:17:39I'm done here anyway.
00:17:44And where do you think
00:17:45you're going, Danny?
00:17:46Guards,
00:17:47she's over here.
00:17:51Who the hell are you?
00:17:52I'm the creative mastermind
00:17:54behind the new
00:17:54Spring Couture collection.
00:17:56Brynn Max.
00:17:58Oh, wow.
00:18:00Well, I can see
00:18:01why my mother
00:18:02sung your praises.
00:18:04Oh, is that
00:18:06an archival saline bag?
00:18:08Well, you obviously
00:18:09have impeccable taste.
00:18:11It's no wonder
00:18:12you created
00:18:12such a groundbreaking collection.
00:18:14These dumbasses
00:18:15don't even know
00:18:16that I'm totally
00:18:16jacking Danny's glory.
00:18:18Who cares?
00:18:19As long as Anya's daughter
00:18:20thinks I'm a genius,
00:18:21I'll get promoted
00:18:22to creative director
00:18:23without lifting a finger.
00:18:25Vanessa,
00:18:26I know who's responsible
00:18:28for destroying
00:18:28Anya's first
00:18:29Spring collection.
00:18:32She's the one
00:18:33that made the routing
00:18:33error that caused
00:18:34a truck to crash.
00:18:35She's obviously
00:18:36trying to sabotage
00:18:37the brand.
00:18:38What?
00:18:38Danny's done it again.
00:18:48You know that one
00:18:48design school prodigy
00:18:49you've had your eye on?
00:18:51Danny Maxwell?
00:18:52She was just fired
00:18:53from Anya Winter's
00:18:54fashion house.
00:18:55The show's a hit.
00:18:56How is that possible?
00:18:56Apparently,
00:18:57Anya's daughter,
00:18:58Vanessa,
00:18:58forced her out.
00:18:59Of course.
00:19:01I would love to see
00:19:02the look on Anya
00:19:03Winter's face
00:19:04when she discovers
00:19:04her big-headed
00:19:05bimbo of a daughter
00:19:06fired her star designer.
00:19:07Call Danny up.
00:19:10Let's get her here.
00:19:10But Anya Winter's
00:19:11is the number one
00:19:12fashion house in the world.
00:19:13We're not even
00:19:14ranked top ten.
00:19:15Dior and Chanel
00:19:15are probably
00:19:16banging down
00:19:16Danny's door already.
00:19:18You really think
00:19:18she would work for us?
00:19:19I'll do anything
00:19:19to get Danny on this team.
00:19:22Rumor has it
00:19:22Soleil is looking
00:19:23for a new designer
00:19:24for her Met Gala look.
00:19:25And if we can dress
00:19:26the most famous woman
00:19:27on the planet
00:19:28on the biggest night
00:19:29in fashion,
00:19:30we'll be the new
00:19:31brand on top.
00:19:34Get the jet ready.
00:19:35I'm going to Paris.
00:19:37And I'm not
00:19:37leaving
00:19:38without Danny Maxwell.
00:19:42Sabotage?
00:19:43Are you kidding me?
00:19:44You can take the fall
00:19:45from my stupid mistake,
00:19:46Danny.
00:19:47Who will believe
00:19:48you over me?
00:19:49You were out
00:19:49partying all night
00:19:50when you should have
00:19:50been confirming
00:19:51the route with the courier.
00:19:52And you destroyed
00:19:53my mother's studio
00:19:54on your drunken bender.
00:19:56You all see me
00:19:57as some incompetent intern
00:19:58just because I'm not
00:19:59wearing the latest
00:19:59off-the-runway clothes.
00:20:01Maybe Daddy's black card
00:20:02can buy you Celine,
00:20:03but can it buy you talent, too?
00:20:05You think I
00:20:07caused that disaster?
00:20:08You think she
00:20:09is your savior?
00:20:11Well, then best of luck
00:20:12when Anya comes back
00:20:13and sees what a mess
00:20:14you've made.
00:20:14This is your mess,
00:20:16Danny Maxwell.
00:20:17I literally cannot stand
00:20:18another second
00:20:19of your desperate
00:20:20BS.
00:20:22Don't touch me.
00:20:24Jordan,
00:20:24don't let them do this.
00:20:25We both know
00:20:26you're not capable
00:20:26of handling the outcome.
00:20:27First, you threaten Brynn,
00:20:30and then you threaten me.
00:20:32You know,
00:20:32you shouldn't be
00:20:33such a bitter bitch,
00:20:34Danny.
00:20:35You know,
00:20:36jealousy looks hideous
00:20:37on you,
00:20:38so why don't you
00:20:39go ahead and pick up
00:20:40your mistakes
00:20:40and get the fuck out
00:20:42before you get
00:20:43locked up.
00:20:45What can they even
00:20:45arrest me for?
00:20:46Let's see.
00:20:47Vandalism,
00:20:49insubordination,
00:20:50and that sweater
00:20:51is definitely
00:20:52a crime against fashion.
00:20:53Don't you know
00:20:54that I can end
00:20:54your entire fashion career
00:20:56with one phone call
00:20:57to my mother?
00:20:57Then go ahead.
00:20:59Do it.
00:21:03If Vanessa calls Anya,
00:21:04she'll find out
00:21:05that Danny's
00:21:06the real star designer.
00:21:08Vanessa,
00:21:09your mom's in recovery.
00:21:11Shouldn't you go
00:21:11to the fashion council
00:21:12first instead
00:21:13to make sure
00:21:14another fashion house
00:21:15isn't infected
00:21:16with Danny's
00:21:17terrible taste?
00:21:18Brynn's right.
00:21:19You should go
00:21:19right to the source.
00:21:20Do not let her
00:21:21get away with this.
00:21:23I have all
00:21:24my mother's
00:21:25industry contacts.
00:21:26at my fingertips.
00:21:27I'm texting
00:21:27the fashion council now.
00:21:29Danny Maxwell
00:21:30is blacklisted
00:21:32from Anya Winter.
00:21:33Other designers,
00:21:34beware of this
00:21:36dangerous scammer.
00:21:38No other fashion house
00:21:39will want you now.
00:21:40Good luck getting
00:21:40a part-time job
00:21:41at Forever 21.
00:21:43Guess that's that then.
00:21:45But before I go,
00:21:47I have one question
00:21:48for you, Vanessa.
00:21:49Does Anya,
00:21:50the CEO and creator
00:21:52of this fashion house,
00:21:53know that you fired me?
00:21:54What kind of idiot
00:21:56do you think
00:21:56I am, Danny?
00:21:58My mother practically
00:21:59begged me to fire
00:21:59your incompetent ass.
00:22:01You thought you could
00:22:02roll up here
00:22:02in your bargain bin sweater
00:22:04and call yourself
00:22:04a fashion icon?
00:22:08Your career
00:22:08is so hopeful.
00:22:10Hey, security,
00:22:11can you take her away
00:22:12and throw her
00:22:12to something?
00:22:13Jail cell,
00:22:14police,
00:22:14whatever?
00:22:16Get your hands
00:22:17off of her.
00:22:21That
00:22:21is my new
00:22:22creative director.
00:22:24Danny Maxwell
00:22:25will join
00:22:27Claude St. Jean
00:22:27of St. Jean
00:22:31of St. Jean
00:22:31Couture.
00:22:31You came all the way
00:22:32from New York
00:22:32for me?
00:22:33Of course.
00:22:35I flew straight here.
00:22:39Nice to see you
00:22:39again, Danny.
00:22:41I haven't seen you
00:22:42since I interned
00:22:42at Valentino
00:22:43my freshman year.
00:22:44Wait,
00:22:45you went to
00:22:45Valentino
00:22:46with him?
00:22:49How'd you get
00:22:50that job, Danny?
00:22:51You scam your way
00:22:52into that one, too?
00:22:53God, Danny.
00:22:56We went out
00:22:56and I had no idea
00:22:57that you were
00:22:57such a grifter.
00:23:00I feel so,
00:23:01so used.
00:23:03So this is how
00:23:04Anya Winter
00:23:05treats their
00:23:05most talented designers.
00:23:07You know,
00:23:08I can't say I'm surprised
00:23:09with someone like you
00:23:09working here.
00:23:10Claude, I...
00:23:11That is Mr. St. Jean
00:23:12to you.
00:23:13And actually,
00:23:13this matter concerns
00:23:14those with actual
00:23:15design talent.
00:23:16Yeah, what are you,
00:23:17a mid-level
00:23:18PR pawn?
00:23:19You should probably
00:23:19know when to
00:23:20shut the hell up.
00:23:21Mr. St. Jean,
00:23:22Danny here
00:23:23has done irreparable
00:23:24damage and...
00:23:25Sorry, who the hell
00:23:26are you?
00:23:27Obviously, I...
00:23:27I'm right.
00:23:28I don't have time
00:23:29for your rambling.
00:23:30Enough!
00:23:31This idiot
00:23:32destroyed my
00:23:33mother's collection,
00:23:34wrecked her entire
00:23:35Paris fashion studio,
00:23:37ruined the entire
00:23:37couture show,
00:23:38almost lost us millions,
00:23:40and why are we
00:23:41still talking about her?
00:23:42Did you not ask
00:23:43your mother who
00:23:43Danny was
00:23:44before you fired her?
00:23:48What kind of idiot
00:23:50do you think I am?
00:23:51My mother runs
00:23:52this fashion house
00:23:53with an iron fist.
00:23:55Of course,
00:23:55I consulted her,
00:23:56and you know
00:23:56what she said?
00:23:58She said that
00:23:59this idiot Danny
00:24:00is a Nepo baby
00:24:01intern who scammed
00:24:02her way into the job.
00:24:04Brain dead.
00:24:06Anya actually said this.
00:24:08And a useless disaster.
00:24:09She quite literally
00:24:10said to me,
00:24:11do me a favor
00:24:12and fire this bitch.
00:24:14Anya practically
00:24:14begged me to work
00:24:15for her.
00:24:16She wouldn't walk
00:24:17back on a decision
00:24:18like that.
00:24:18Okay, we all know
00:24:19Anya, okay?
00:24:20And she wouldn't beg
00:24:21anyone for anything,
00:24:23especially to work
00:24:24with a deadweight
00:24:25intern.
00:24:26Then why are you
00:24:27still here?
00:24:28What, you little...
00:24:29Oh, don't even try it.
00:24:31Danny,
00:24:33will you come with me
00:24:34and be my new
00:24:35creative director
00:24:35of Saint Jean Couture?
00:24:36God, I don't know.
00:24:37Hey, whatever you
00:24:38are making,
00:24:39I will double it.
00:24:39Okay, her salary
00:24:41is 500k.
00:24:42She's literally
00:24:43robbing us blind.
00:24:45A million it is, then.
00:24:46Please, a million
00:24:50dollar salary?
00:24:51Your fashion house
00:24:52doesn't even rank
00:24:53in the top 10.
00:24:55Are you clinically
00:24:55insane?
00:24:57You're an even
00:24:57bigger bullshitter
00:24:58than Danny.
00:25:00A million dollars
00:25:01for a talentless
00:25:03intern.
00:25:04Way to dig
00:25:05your own grave.
00:25:06I thought I told
00:25:07you to shut up.
00:25:09Claude, I really
00:25:10appreciate what
00:25:11you're trying to do.
00:25:12Seriously, but
00:25:13it's not about
00:25:14the money.
00:25:15Danny,
00:25:16if you join
00:25:17my fashion house,
00:25:18the title of
00:25:19creative director
00:25:19will be yours.
00:25:21Creative control
00:25:21over the next season's
00:25:22couture collection
00:25:23will be yours.
00:25:24My designers,
00:25:25my studio,
00:25:26my full trust.
00:25:29And hell,
00:25:29if you want me,
00:25:30I'm even yours too.
00:25:33Oh, Claude.
00:25:35Okay, look,
00:25:36I get it.
00:25:37You hustled
00:25:37from the bottom
00:25:38to build your own
00:25:39fashion brand,
00:25:40and I respect you
00:25:41for that.
00:25:42So let me remind you
00:25:43that Danny
00:25:44is a lazy scam artist.
00:25:46Even my mother
00:25:47says hiring her
00:25:48is a literal death wish.
00:25:50In that case...
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:58What is all this shit?
00:25:59This shit is everything
00:26:00that your mother
00:26:01gifted me.
00:26:02Her one and only
00:26:03key to her personal
00:26:04studio,
00:26:05the business black card
00:26:06in my name,
00:26:06which I could have used
00:26:07to repair the damages,
00:26:08but I guess that's
00:26:10not my concern anymore.
00:26:12You can tell Anya
00:26:13that I,
00:26:14Danny Maxwell,
00:26:15am more than happy
00:26:16to walk away
00:26:17from this fashion house
00:26:18and never,
00:26:19ever come back.
00:26:22Aw.
00:26:23So sad for us.
00:26:25Not.
00:26:26You did not deserve
00:26:27any special treatment, Danny.
00:26:29I mean,
00:26:30just look at you.
00:26:31You're a complete
00:26:31fashion flop.
00:26:33You know,
00:26:34you are all so wrapped up
00:26:35in beauty standards
00:26:36and bullshit
00:26:36that you can't even see
00:26:37the design talent
00:26:38that is right in front of you.
00:26:41Danny,
00:26:42it is true.
00:26:43We have been struggling
00:26:44to beat out Anya Winter
00:26:45for the number one title spot.
00:26:46Then I'm gonna change that.
00:26:48I'll join
00:26:49as creative director.
00:26:51And by this time,
00:26:53next season's runway show,
00:26:55Saint Jean Couture
00:26:56will be number one.
00:27:00You know,
00:27:01I almost feel embarrassed
00:27:02for you, Danny.
00:27:03Losing your spot
00:27:04at the number one
00:27:05fashion house
00:27:06to go and work
00:27:06for this desperate
00:27:08up-and-comer.
00:27:10Although,
00:27:11who else would hire you?
00:27:13Embarrassed for her.
00:27:15You know,
00:27:16Vanessa's gonna burn
00:27:16this place to the ground
00:27:17and you are gonna be left
00:27:19for this PR shitstorm
00:27:20to clean up.
00:27:21And something tells me
00:27:23you're not qualified
00:27:24for that, are you?
00:27:25Qualified?
00:27:26And what exactly
00:27:26are you qualified for?
00:27:28Propositioning idiotic interns
00:27:30to go out
00:27:31and peddle up
00:27:32your hideous designs
00:27:33to some micro-influencers?
00:27:35What?
00:27:36I did.
00:27:43She did.
00:27:47She will.
00:27:49Who is that?
00:27:50That.
00:27:51The Soleil's team.
00:27:52They've asked for five sketches
00:27:54from Danny
00:27:54for her Met Gala look.
00:27:55What was that about
00:27:56micro-influencers?
00:27:58If I'm not mistaken,
00:28:00she has more followers
00:28:02than anyone
00:28:03in the world?
00:28:04Absolutely not.
00:28:05Brynn is supposed
00:28:06to design Soleil's gown.
00:28:08Brynn?
00:28:10Guess we got ourselves
00:28:11some competition.
00:28:13This isn't a competition.
00:28:14It's an all-out fashion war.
00:28:16Well, I hope you're ready
00:28:17to die on the battlefield.
00:28:19Let's go, Danny.
00:28:20Gladly.
00:28:20I'm losing brain cells
00:28:22talking to these people.
00:28:24May the best designer win.
00:28:28Don't worry about her, Vanessa.
00:28:30Just send these
00:28:31to Soleil's team
00:28:32and there's no way
00:28:33she won't pick us.
00:28:36I'll be Danny
00:28:37with her own designs.
00:28:39Oh my God, Brynn.
00:28:40These are incredible.
00:28:43Between these
00:28:44and the Spring Couture Collection,
00:28:46you've really proven yourself.
00:28:49I'm officially naming you
00:28:51as Creative Director
00:28:52of Ani Winter Couture.
00:28:54This is a dream come true.
00:28:59And don't forget about me
00:29:01in the face
00:29:02of the menswear line.
00:29:05Great.
00:29:07One step at a time.
00:29:09Stick with me
00:29:09and you'll be very satisfied.
00:29:11Every designer
00:29:14will be gunning
00:29:15for our spot
00:29:16as top couture collection
00:29:17in the world.
00:29:19That's why
00:29:19we need to dress
00:29:21Soleil at the Met Gala
00:29:22and no one can touch us.
00:29:24Not even Claude
00:29:26and that hack Danny.
00:29:27I won't let you down, Vanessa.
00:29:29Now,
00:29:30walk me through
00:29:31how you designed
00:29:32the couture collection
00:29:33in four hours.
00:29:34How did I do it?
00:29:38Oh God,
00:29:39I can't design for crap.
00:29:40I have no idea
00:29:41how Danny pulled that off.
00:29:43What the hell
00:29:43am I going to tell her?
00:29:45I used a highly
00:29:47specialized
00:29:48sewing technique
00:29:49that I learned
00:29:50in my final year
00:29:51of fashion school.
00:29:53The details
00:29:53are really boring.
00:29:54I could show you later.
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57You have your own technique.
00:29:58You are the creative genius.
00:30:00I mean,
00:30:00these are already
00:30:01Met Gala worthy.
00:30:02If you can bring them
00:30:03to life half as well
00:30:04as you did
00:30:05the spring collection,
00:30:06you have nothing
00:30:06to worry about.
00:30:07Nothing at all.
00:30:09I am now
00:30:10the creative director
00:30:11of the number one
00:30:12fashion house
00:30:13in the world.
00:30:15Step aside, Danny.
00:30:16I'm the new
00:30:17couture queen.
00:30:18What do you want?
00:30:23Anya,
00:30:24it's Claude Zanjean.
00:30:26Listen,
00:30:26I'm just calling
00:30:27to let you know
00:30:27that we are officially
00:30:28in the running
00:30:29to dress a Leia
00:30:29at her Met Gala.
00:30:32What?
00:30:32We are the number one
00:30:34couture house
00:30:35in the world right now.
00:30:37Why would she want you
00:30:38to dress her
00:30:38as if some young,
00:30:40arrogant,
00:30:40dumbass could...
00:30:41Listen,
00:30:42I'm not calling
00:30:42to discuss this.
00:30:43I'm just simply
00:30:43letting you know.
00:30:48Cheers.
00:30:51What the hell
00:30:52is that rat up to?
00:30:54He knows I have
00:30:55a design prodigy
00:30:56at my right hand.
00:30:58Why would he think
00:30:59anybody could beat
00:31:01a superstar like Danny?
00:31:07Unless...
00:31:10Mother,
00:31:11you'll never believe
00:31:12the sketches I got from.
00:31:13Tell me you didn't fire
00:31:15my most talented designer!
00:31:19Calm down, Mother,
00:31:21or else you'll have
00:31:21another heart attack.
00:31:22Like I told you already,
00:31:24I fired that brain-dead
00:31:25slacker in
00:31:26turn.
00:31:27Why the hell
00:31:28is Claude St. John
00:31:30competing with us
00:31:31for the Met Gala partnership?
00:31:33Well,
00:31:33I just figured
00:31:34it was pointless
00:31:35to talk him out of it
00:31:36when he's obviously
00:31:37going to crash and burn
00:31:38along with that
00:31:39talentless intern.
00:31:40They'll design something
00:31:41cheap and tacky
00:31:42for Salaya,
00:31:43and then she'll tell
00:31:45everybody she knows
00:31:46not to touch
00:31:47St. John Couture
00:31:48with a 10-foot pole.
00:31:50And then their sad
00:31:52little fashion careers,
00:31:53they'll be over it
00:31:54before they even started.
00:31:55So you gaslit Claude
00:31:58into hiring our cast-off?
00:32:01Sure did.
00:32:02He's convinced
00:32:02that the talentless
00:32:03Nepo Baby
00:32:04is the creative genius
00:32:05behind our spring line.
00:32:07That's brilliant.
00:32:10And I thought you're
00:32:11a weak little pushover
00:32:12like your father,
00:32:13but maybe you're
00:32:15more like me
00:32:16than I knew.
00:32:17Vanessa,
00:32:17I want you to take
00:32:19full control
00:32:20over the Met Gala
00:32:21partnership with Salaya.
00:32:23Oh, thank you.
00:32:25No more talking.
00:32:27It's time to get to work,
00:32:28and we need to make
00:32:28damn sure
00:32:30Salaya picks our gown
00:32:31for the gala.
00:32:32We are going to make
00:32:34Claude St. John
00:32:35the laughingstock
00:32:37of the fashion industry.
00:32:38Everyone's buzzing
00:32:42about this Met Gala
00:32:43partnership.
00:32:44Vanessa's never run
00:32:45a fashion house before.
00:32:47Are you sure
00:32:47she can handle this?
00:32:48Did I ask your opinion?
00:32:50My daughter can't
00:32:52fuck this up.
00:32:53Not with Danny Maxwell
00:32:55designing the gown
00:32:56for Salaya.
00:32:57Did I tell you
00:32:59that she actually
00:33:00convinced Claude St. John
00:33:02to hire our
00:33:03strung-out
00:33:04sad sack
00:33:05of an intern?
00:33:06I get to sit back
00:33:07and watch Danny
00:33:09work her magic
00:33:10for Salaya's gown
00:33:12while that
00:33:13hack of a talent
00:33:15completely tanks
00:33:16what's left
00:33:17of Claude's
00:33:18fashion house.
00:33:26So,
00:33:28as our studio
00:33:29compared to the
00:33:30great Anya Winters,
00:33:32it's insane
00:33:34what you've accomplished.
00:33:36I mean,
00:33:36four years ago
00:33:37you were a glorified
00:33:38errand boy at Valentino
00:33:39and now look at you.
00:33:41Your own couture line.
00:33:44It's everything
00:33:45you ever wanted.
00:33:46Not everything.
00:33:49Well,
00:33:50what about you, Danny?
00:33:50I mean,
00:33:51when I met you,
00:33:52you were a quiet
00:33:52little intern
00:33:53and now you're
00:33:53a fashion genius.
00:33:56I'm serious.
00:33:57I mean,
00:33:57that work you did
00:33:58on that spring collection,
00:33:59it was inspiring.
00:34:02Yes.
00:34:11Of course.
00:34:13We'll be there.
00:34:16So Leah loved
00:34:17your Metcala sketches,
00:34:18huh?
00:34:19She told her favorite
00:34:20from you and Brayden
00:34:20she wants you both
00:34:21to show her a sample.
00:34:22Oh my God,
00:34:24when?
00:34:26Tomorrow afternoon.
00:34:27You have 24 hours
00:34:28to make this dress for
00:34:29Saleya.
00:34:30Better get started.
00:34:33I mean,
00:34:33we just got back
00:34:33from New York
00:34:34and I...
00:34:34You created
00:34:35an entire couture collection
00:34:37in what?
00:34:38Four hours?
00:34:39This should be a breeze,
00:34:40right?
00:34:40Right.
00:34:41I can totally
00:34:42pull this off.
00:34:43Then do it.
00:34:45Now!
00:34:49You think you can
00:34:50pull off creating
00:34:50a Metcala gown
00:34:51for a triple A-list
00:34:52celeb in under 24 hours?
00:34:53Who do you think
00:34:54you're talking to?
00:34:55Well,
00:34:55whatever it is,
00:34:57it just needs to be
00:34:58better than this.
00:34:59This is our competition.
00:35:00That's my sketch.
00:35:02That fraud friend's
00:35:05been stealing
00:35:06my designs.
00:35:10Of course.
00:35:12She has no real
00:35:12talent of her own.
00:35:17Damn.
00:35:18That dress is insane.
00:35:21A skirt made
00:35:22of stained glass?
00:35:24Insane is right.
00:35:25It's going to be
00:35:26nearly impossible
00:35:27to sew a bodice
00:35:27I can support
00:35:28the weight of the skirt.
00:35:30If Saleya puts
00:35:31on this gown,
00:35:31it's a...
00:35:32wardrobe malfunction
00:35:33waiting to happen.
00:35:34Prima wants to be
00:35:34a fashion icon
00:35:35so bad.
00:35:37How will she
00:35:38pull us off?
00:35:39Then it's an easy win.
00:35:40Right?
00:35:41We just sit back
00:35:42and let the thieves
00:35:42crash and burn.
00:35:43Not exactly.
00:35:46I'm going to make
00:35:47the same exact dress,
00:35:48only better.
00:35:50Then there'll be
00:35:50no question
00:35:51who the real designer is.
00:35:53But I thought you said
00:35:54it was impossible
00:35:54to pull off.
00:35:57I said
00:35:58nearly impossible.
00:35:59never do it.
00:36:04We can try to
00:36:04rip off my designs
00:36:05all she wants,
00:36:07but without the brains
00:36:08or skills to back it up,
00:36:10there's no way
00:36:10she's going to pull it off.
00:36:12And if she tries,
00:36:13that gown is going to
00:36:14fall apart faster
00:36:15than you can say
00:36:16a fashion victim.
00:36:17Let's remember this day, the last day that Claude Sejourn Couture will be at the bottom
00:36:26of the fashion food chase.
00:36:29By this time tomorrow, we'll be the new rulers of the Couture Kingdom.
00:36:38What the hell is this?
00:36:39Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress to the bottom of the dress?
00:36:42Oh, God.
00:36:43Brynn, the skirt is too heavy.
00:36:46I have no excuses!
00:36:48We have four hours to make a dress for Saleya.
00:36:53Gosh, I wish I was getting trash at a club right now.
00:37:00Brynn!
00:37:01How's everything going?
00:37:03Great!
00:37:04I just dropped my scissors.
00:37:06We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:37:08Phone call.
00:37:09I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:37:12Now!
00:37:13Don't worry, Mother.
00:37:14I have everything under control.
00:37:16That clown Claude and that fraud designer are going down.
00:37:21You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:37:23Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:37:27Keep it up.
00:37:28There might be another promotion in your future.
00:37:34If I can pull this off, I'll go down in fashion history.
00:37:40Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:37:41Denny.
00:37:42Denny.
00:37:43Wake up.
00:37:44Come on.
00:37:45Come on.
00:37:46Let's get you to bed.
00:37:52Denny.
00:37:53Denny.
00:37:54Denny.
00:37:55Denny.
00:37:56Wake up.
00:37:57Come on.
00:37:58Let's get you to bed.
00:38:07I'll go to bed.
00:38:26Good morning, superstar.
00:38:38This is it. The gown that can make or break me.
00:38:50You should be proud, Danny.
00:38:53It's exceptional. Just like you.
00:38:57Thanks, I...
00:39:01I could have done it without you.
00:39:08Oh, God.
00:39:10I need to change what I'm wearing to meet the most famous woman in the world.
00:39:13Don't worry about it.
00:39:15I had my editor friend Marco pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.
00:39:20Pick anything you like.
00:39:28See you at the meeting.
00:39:38Gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:39:41What am I gonna do?
00:39:43Brynn!
00:39:49That better be the best dress you've ever made.
00:39:52Let's go.
00:39:57Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:40:00We're gonna get that Met Gala partnership.
00:40:02In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:40:03Where's your top secret weapon?
00:40:06She'll be here soon.
00:40:08She'll make a big impression on Saleya.
00:40:10Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:40:14I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:40:19Her talent speaks for itself.
00:40:21Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.
00:40:27I just have to find a way to switch mine and Danny's garment bags when no one's looking.
00:40:30It's not like Saleya would even trust that unstylish little piece of-
00:40:34Danny.
00:40:36You look stunning.
00:40:38Thanks.
00:40:40Speechless.
00:40:42Is that a first?
00:40:44Are those that-
00:40:45One-of-a-kind Anya Winter-Fall couture books?
00:40:48Yes.
00:40:50I am.
00:40:51Okay, but why would my mother give you those? She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:40:52They were a gift for designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:40:54What kind of Delulu reality are you living in? Look, I always knew you were a lazy, dead-beep intern, but taking credit for another designer's work? That's a whole new look.
00:41:05Taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:08Friend, I knew a thing or two about that.
00:41:09Watch, he gives-
00:41:10Careful now.
00:41:11Careful now.
00:41:12Do you think you're some design prodigy, Danny?
00:41:13This?
00:41:14Give me that.
00:41:15This?
00:41:16Give me that.
00:41:17This is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.
00:41:20If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's gonna see me.
00:41:22Who?
00:41:23Not at all.
00:41:24I'm not at all.
00:41:25You're not at all.
00:41:26That's a good point.
00:41:27You're not at all.
00:41:28I'm not at all.
00:41:29I'm not.
00:41:30I'm not at all.
00:41:31I'm not at all.
00:41:32I'm not at all.
00:41:33I'm not at all.
00:41:34What's at all?
00:41:35I'm not at all.
00:41:36I'm not at all.
00:41:37I'm not at all.
00:41:38If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's going to see that I'm a total fraud.
00:41:45Soleil, I will see you now.
00:41:47Designers only.
00:41:48For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.
00:41:54Hey.
00:41:56You've got this.
00:41:57There's no way she's not going to pick you.
00:42:03Everything is riding on this Met Gala partnership.
00:42:06Don't fuck it up.
00:42:08I won't let you down.
00:42:12Soleil is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.
00:42:15You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.
00:42:17Just don't touch anything.
00:42:22The dress you made?
00:42:24Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design or is it stolen?
00:42:30I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:32You 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?
00:42:41Tell me Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle?
00:42:46That dress you designed is beautiful but very, very complicated.
00:42:55How did you manage to pull that off?
00:42:56We'll just see.
00:42:57Won't we?
00:42:58Yes, we will.
00:42:59Ugh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:00If I don't do something fast, everyone's going to find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:03Ugh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:04If I don't do something fast, everyone's going to find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:16I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame and I'm not letting Danny that disaster take it from me.
00:43:36Bye-bye, Danny.
00:43:50So Leia's arriving now.
00:43:52No photos, no sucking up, and no touching.
00:43:55Unless she touches you.
00:43:56Got it?
00:43:57Got it.
00:44:06So Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:44:08It's so nice to meet you.
00:44:10Where's the other one?
00:44:11She must be running a little bit late.
00:44:13I hate people who waste my time.
00:44:15I think she saw my gown and she felt inadequate.
00:44:19Let's see it then.
00:44:23Oh!
00:44:24Ugh!
00:44:25Ugh!
00:44:39Bryn knocked me out and stole my dress.
00:44:42I knew she was a snake, but I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:44:49The sample preview is starting now and I have nothing to show.
00:44:55Or maybe I did.
00:45:04I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:45:11Sorry, fam.
00:45:12It's my Pisces moon.
00:45:14This is like the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:18I feel connected to it on like a cosmic level.
00:45:21I must wear this dress.
00:45:23I knew you would love it.
00:45:25But what about the other designer?
00:45:27She might...
00:45:28She's late.
00:45:29I'll give her three seconds.
00:45:30If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:45:33Three...
00:45:34Two...
00:45:35Wait!
00:45:37I'm so sorry.
00:45:38I'm late, So Leia.
00:45:39I had a little...
00:45:41bump...
00:45:42in the road.
00:45:43I suppose I can forgive you.
00:45:45Mercury is in retrograde.
00:45:48Nice gown, Brynn.
00:45:50I wish I could say the same, Danny, but...
00:45:53Your stinks.
00:45:56Gee.
00:45:57I wonder why that is.
00:45:59This dress is so trippy.
00:46:02My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.
00:46:06Okay, but you're not like crying.
00:46:07I mean like mine is still better.
00:46:09Still better.
00:46:11Right?
00:46:13I wouldn't say that.
00:46:14What?
00:46:16Isn't that crazy?
00:46:18That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and So Leia still likes my design better?
00:46:25How much longer can you keep up this shrink?
00:46:27I must know.
00:46:29What was your inspiration?
00:46:31I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and...
00:46:38You get the trash and make a treasure.
00:46:42Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.
00:46:46Or like a rat from a dumpster.
00:46:49I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.
00:46:52Danny, I feel like you really get me.
00:46:54You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:46:58Okay.
00:46:59What about my vision?
00:47:00What about my art?
00:47:02Brynn's right.
00:47:04She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:47:09Brynn, tell us how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:47:17Crap.
00:47:18I have no idea how Danny made this.
00:47:20What do I say?
00:47:22How did I do it?
00:47:23Um...
00:47:25You're not gate-keeping your creative process from So Leia, are you?
00:47:31If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala...
00:47:35Doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:47:39It's true. So Leia doesn't like gatekeepers.
00:47:43It's a simple question Brynn.
00:47:45If you can't answer it then like, did you really even make the dress?
00:47:48I think the real question here is why is Danny so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:47:56Clearly she's trying to steal my technique because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:48:00Okay, this taped together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:48:04It's an elementary school art project.
00:48:06So Leia, you cannot wear Danny's dress. I mean look at it. It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:48:13Besides, it's made out of New York street trash.
00:48:17She's right. It does kind of have like a fishy smell to it.
00:48:23Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:48:27Well obviously this is just a sample. The real dress would not...
00:48:30Okay, but my sample is pristine. I mean, Celia, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway.
00:48:37But Danny's? Danny's is probably made out of disease, rat feces and meat juice.
00:48:46Oh God, you know I'm a die-hard vegan.
00:48:51I've made my decision. The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...
00:48:56Brin's.
00:49:01I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala. It's too big of a risk. Even for me.
00:49:07Oh, I'm sorry Danny. But it's easier to go back to trash when...
00:49:12You are trash.
00:49:14But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:49:19Brin, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:49:22Like, like, right now?
00:49:23You made this dress in 24 hours. Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:49:29Once Celia sees Brin for the fraud she is, she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:49:34Yeah. Brin, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?
00:49:40Now.
00:49:41I really work better alone.
00:49:50Not today you don't. Do you want me to wear your dress to the Met Gala or not?
00:49:54This is it.
00:49:56This is it.
00:49:58The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.
00:50:01The moment my talents were finally re-recognized.
00:50:05Celia?
00:50:07Hannah Summer, the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine is here to see you.
00:50:11Oh my god! And she's the chair of the Met Gala board.
00:50:14She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:50:16Maybe they're gonna do a feature.
00:50:18Oh my god, she's coming up here right now.
00:50:19Wait, you're not Hannah.
00:50:26Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.
00:50:30I'm her personal assistant here to deliver a message.
00:50:34On Anya Winter's suggestion and by the Fashion Council's orders,
00:50:39Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry
00:50:43and banned from the Met Gala for life.
00:50:46Banned? What the hell for?
00:50:50Insubordination.
00:50:52Sabotage amounting to millions of dollars in potential losses.
00:50:56A general lack of personal style.
00:51:00Those aren't just faceless lies.
00:51:03I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.
00:51:07How dare you come into Celia's personal studio,
00:51:10waste her precious time knowing you are hated by literally everyone in the fashion industry.
00:51:14Are you trying to tank her career?
00:51:17This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:51:21This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:51:24Get her out of here.
00:51:26Now.
00:51:30Congratulations.
00:51:32I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:51:34And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:51:37Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:51:40Hey, get your hands off of me right now.
00:51:45You okay?
00:51:47Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:51:51Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life too.
00:51:54Banned? By who?
00:51:55Hannah Summer herself.
00:51:58The editor in chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny.
00:52:04This is the best day of my life.
00:52:07Mine too.
00:52:09Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:52:11Okay.
00:52:12I am the real hero here.
00:52:16I mean, Zalaya's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.
00:52:20And Danny here is going to get herself a little job at McDonald's.
00:52:23The fashion world is not going to miss you.
00:52:26I've given everything for this fashion house.
00:52:29And how do you repay me?
00:52:31By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:52:34Not everyone.
00:52:36Let's go, Danny.
00:52:45I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:52:51Who believe it? Look at our latest post.
00:52:54Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:52:57I'll be giving the designer a very special shout out on stage after my exclusive performance.
00:53:05Like, that's my dress. That should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:53:09Bryn and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:53:11They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:53:15They're everything that you're not.
00:53:19You deserve to be on that stage.
00:53:21And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:53:26I know what I have to do.
00:53:30I'm gonna sneak into the Met Gala.
00:53:33Hell yes you are.
00:53:36I'm sneaking into the Met Gala tomorrow.
00:53:38I have work to do.
00:53:39Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:41Let me handle that.
00:53:42Now, let's drink.
00:53:44Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:53:50Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:53:53But it will.
00:53:54You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:54:02Didn't they used to call you...
00:54:03One Cup Club?
00:54:05Oh.
00:54:07You're tall, but you're quite the length.
00:54:10I'm hurt, Danny.
00:54:12And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.
00:54:17Whoa.
00:54:18You were lightweight.
00:54:19Speak for yourself.
00:54:21Let's get you to bed.
00:54:22You're pretty?
00:54:23Oh.
00:54:24What?
00:54:25What?
00:54:26How many?
00:54:27This is the best thing.
00:54:28Seriously.
00:54:29I'm not kidding.
00:54:30Oh.
00:54:31Wow.
00:54:33Oh, Lord.
00:54:35Speak for yourself.
00:54:39Let's get you to bed.
00:54:42I used to watch the same thing.
00:54:43Seriously, I'm not kidding.
00:54:49Wow.
00:54:50Oh, Lord.
00:54:50That was an hour.
00:54:56I suddenly feel very sober.
00:54:59Me too.
00:55:05What do you think?
00:55:24I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:55:27But what's it for?
00:55:29This.
00:55:30Yeah, this is your party crashing uniform.
00:55:35Marco's going to meet you on the side entrance of the gala.
00:55:38I owe you both my life.
00:55:41I just want to make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she deserves.
00:55:48I'll meet you there.
00:55:53Where are you going?
00:55:54I am breaking Anya Winter out of the hospital.
00:55:58When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house and sent a fraud
00:56:03to the biggest event in fashion history, it's going to be over for her and Brynn.
00:56:08For everything.
00:56:10I'll meet you there.
00:56:15I'll meet you there.
00:56:19Good luck.
00:56:24We're here at fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala, where everyone who is anyone has
00:56:41gathered in New York City to celebrate the best of fashion.
00:56:46And, oh my god, Solea!
00:56:49Darling, how are you?
00:56:51Oh my god, I am freaking out right now.
00:56:54I mean, this gown!
00:56:56Anyway, best dress of the night, hands down.
00:57:02Now tell me, who made this incredible creation?
00:57:06I'm actually not revealing who made it yet, but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.
00:57:12Cryptic.
00:57:13I love it.
00:57:14Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.
00:57:19You know, that Brynn collection that you did was just like, whoa, you know?
00:57:25Yeah, I'm kind of like, a genius.
00:57:37Brynn got me a fan from the Met Gala, but I made it in.
00:57:40And soon she'll be exposed for the fraud she is.
00:57:43How did that slut get in here?
00:57:45She's going to ruin everything.
00:57:49Champagne Brynn?
00:57:51You cannot be here.
00:57:53You competed against me to dress Solea, the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala, and you lost.
00:58:00Okay, tonight is my special night, and I cannot have you ruining it.
00:58:04I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.
00:58:06I'm the guest of honor.
00:58:08After all the blood, sweat, and tears I put into making that gown,
00:58:12she stole it from me and dragged my name through the mud.
00:58:15Brynn, why are you so obsessed with taking credit for my work?
00:58:19I do not have to answer.
00:58:22Face it, Dani, I have won the respect of everyone who matters in the fashion industry.
00:58:28I'm going to be up there next to Solea on that stage,
00:58:31basking in all your glory, and you, you will still be a no one.
00:58:39You come in here dressed up like a servant expecting me to do what?
00:58:42Fall out your feet and go, oh, I'm so sorry, Dani, you are so smart and so talented.
00:58:47It's never going to happen.
00:58:50I am rubbing elbows with the hottest, most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:58:55I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala, and you can't touch me now.
00:59:01And who exactly designed the gown your way?
00:59:04Certainly not you, if that's what you're implying.
00:59:12Do you know how much effort was put into making that spring collection?
00:59:16Do you know how hard those designers worked that you fired to save that show?
00:59:25You think Brynn is the one responsible for saving the day?
00:59:28Have you ever even bothered to watch her work? Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?
00:59:34And what have you done to prove yourself? Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?
00:59:41You know, the servant suit really fits you, Dani. I think you, uh, found your true calling.
00:59:47Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?
00:59:51You know, we dated for two years, and I never asked you for a thing.
00:59:56But the minute Vanessa offers you 15 minutes of fame, you drop me without a thought.
01:00:03What will you do once she's used you up and left you in the dust?
01:00:07You have no idea what you're talking about.
01:00:13Yeah. Jealousy is a disease, Dani.
01:00:17Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
01:00:24You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
01:00:27Are you really so desperate to steal my glory that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
01:00:33You must be psychotic.
01:00:35Really? And what's the word for stealing another designer's work and using it for clout?
01:00:47Claude.
01:00:50Did you come here to fall at my feet and beg me for a job now that my fashion house
01:00:56officially has the Met Gala partnership and yours?
01:01:01Yours is dead in the water.
01:01:04I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now, don't you?
01:01:07Not as much as you're going to regret putting your daughter in charge.
01:01:11Excuse me?
01:01:11Look. I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:01:23But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
01:01:27There's something you should see.
01:01:33Bitch! My star designer worked her fingers to the bone to make that dress for Saleya.
01:01:38Don't you dare try to take credit for her creative genius.
01:01:45Very soft. But if she worked her fingers to the bone, then where the count says?
01:01:50Ugh!
01:01:50How dare you assault me?
01:01:53Leave. Now.
01:01:56Or what?
01:01:57So entitled. You know, you should be grateful to my mother for even allowing you to step foot into her
01:02:03historic tour house.
01:02:04I never said I wasn't. Your mother is one of the best designers in the world and she took a chance on me.
01:02:11I've always been grateful to her.
01:02:14Grateful? You've tarnished her name and reputation and now you're trying to sabotage the biggest night
01:02:20in the history of this fashion house. Just like you tried to sabotage the spring couture show!
01:02:23I'm the one that saved that collection.
01:02:31Enough!
01:02:40God, you are so embarrassing, Danny. You know, breaking up with you was the best decision that I ever made.
01:02:47You didn't need the favor, really. Thank you so much for saving me from a lifetime of disappointment.
01:02:55Disappointment? If we're talking disappointment, I think it's you because you're the one covered in champagne.
01:03:00Oh my god, is there security around here? This disturbed employee is trying to ruin my couture!
01:03:11And she put her filthy hands on me.
01:03:14So Leia is about to announce Brynn as the designer of her gown and you will not ruin this moment.
01:03:20Get your hands off of her.
01:03:30Vanessa, what the hell have you done with my fashion house?
01:03:37Nothing, mom. I fired Danny just like you asked.
01:03:40You what?
01:03:41I don't understand a mistake. A mistake? A mistake? I...
01:03:54Oh my god, mom, are you okay?
01:03:58I... I just need a minute. Okay.
01:04:03Anya, are you okay? Oh Danny, I'm fine. I... there's something I need to say.
01:04:11I can't let that old slut blow my cover.
01:04:14No, she shouldn't speak. She could have another heart attack.
01:04:19Security, get her out of here.
01:04:23I'm okay, I'm fine.
01:04:24Don't touch her, you're making it worse.
01:04:26Don't listen to anything this worthless server has to say. Take my mother someone quiet.
01:04:32I'm fine. I'll be right there.
01:04:35Danny!
01:04:36Hey, I said hands off. Unless you want to be cut it off, please.
01:04:42What the hell was that about?
01:04:47I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the reveal of the designer I've chosen to partner with.
01:04:54Brynn Maxwell, will you join me on stage?
01:04:59Oh my god, she had a wardrobe malfunction.
01:05:01What the fuck happened? I told you not to fuck it up.
01:05:08I don't know. I... I... I... I... I...
01:05:11What are you looking at me for?
01:05:13You're the designer of the dress.
01:05:16She wants to be a star designer, so that...
01:05:18Let's see if she has the skills to throw it off.
01:05:20Someone needs to fix this. Now.
01:05:25Danny, Danny. If that dress splits anymore, this will be a major PR nightmare.
01:05:29I know you can do it. So, please, go ahead and fix the dress.
01:05:35Why would I be able to help? I mean, Brynn's the one that designed the dress.
01:05:39Did you fall and smack your little head on the sidewalk?
01:05:45No.
01:05:45Danny is a Nepo baby intern who knows nothing.
01:05:48And Brynn is the creative genius, remember?
01:05:52Yes.
01:05:52Right? Right. I... I totally know what I'm doing.
01:05:58Danny is just a frumpy little service worker who wants to play dress up.
01:06:07Thanks, Danny. I knew you were useless that God brings here.
01:06:12I can do this. How hard can it be to fix a one-of-a-kind couture gown?
01:06:17I put my heart and soul into a dress Soleil will be proud to wear to Vecala.
01:06:24And you built your couture house from the ground up and made so many sacrifices to hire me.
01:06:31I can't let Brynn ruin it all. I have to show Soleil what I can do.
01:06:37So go show them who you are. Prove to Soleil that you are the genius behind that dress.
01:06:47I have to show you what I can do.
01:06:48Brynn, the seams are delicate. The stitch has to be.
01:06:52Shut up! You're ruining her concentration.
01:06:54Um, are you the girl who was like banned from the Met Gala for life?
01:06:58Yeah, she is. She shouldn't even be here right now.
01:07:02I shouldn't be here? Look at the way Brynn's holding that needle.
01:07:05How much longer can you keep up this act? Just step aside and let me...
01:07:12Okay, somebody has to call Hannah Summer.
01:07:14The chair of the Gala will know how to handle this dirty little party crasher.
01:07:21What now?
01:07:22We have a security situation. Party crasher on the Gala floor.
01:07:26Someone named Danny Maxwell.
01:07:29Danny? Anya's star designer?
01:07:35I'm fine. I am not some delicate little flower.
01:07:39I had a heart attack, not a lobotomy.
01:07:41Honey. Hannah, darling.
01:07:48Anya, I just got word that Danny Maxwell has been banned from the Gala.
01:07:53Your daughter is trying to get her kicked out.
01:07:55What?
01:07:55I said I've got it.
01:07:58Fine. That's the way you want it to be.
01:08:08See? As a true genius behind this dress, I think it's good as new.
01:08:16Shout out to my hella talented designer Brynn Maxwell of Anya Winter Couture for dressing me tonight.
01:08:21Thanks to her, I swerved a full-on wardrobe malfunction.
01:08:39All of my hard work ruined by Brynn's ego.
01:08:42What's that?
01:08:46You know, it takes a profound lack of talents to destroy a gown so beautiful.
01:08:54Yeah, what kind of shoddy repair job is that?
01:08:56That girl is so not worthy of dressing Solea.
01:08:59Yes, I am!
01:09:00I'm suing Anya Winters for all your brand is worth.
01:09:05This is all your fault.
01:09:06My fault?
01:09:08I was trying to help.
01:09:10I was trying to take your mom's little washed-up brand and make it relevant by dressing the hottest,
01:09:14most famous woman in the world.
01:09:17How dare you call my mother's brand washed up? You're gonna pay for that.
01:09:21How? Are you gonna fire me like you fired Danny?
01:09:26When all those loser designers got let go, I replaced the staff with my own people.
01:09:30If I go, they go.
01:09:33How will Anya Winters keep its title as number one couture house without a design staff?
01:09:39You won't keep your spot as number one, as long as you have a fraud like Brynn as your creative director either.
01:09:47Dude, that girl is totally crashing out right now.
01:09:51I'm calling my lawyers.
01:09:52Brynn, this is all your fault.
01:09:55Okay, if you guys all want someone to blame for this, why did you blame Danny? Okay, I didn't even make that stupid dress! She did!
01:10:07I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean...
01:10:10I think it's finally time to show them who you really are.
01:10:14Brynn's right. I designed the dress.
01:10:18And I'll prove it.
01:10:21So Leia, will you meet me on stage?
01:10:31Don't!
01:10:32You shouldn't trust that ugly lying bitch. I mean, look at her. She's gonna drag down your whole image.
01:10:39Image means nothing without substance, without talent. A true fashion genius should know that.
01:10:45Damn. That's deep. I agree. I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:11:02I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:11:13Danny Maxwell, you were a genius.
01:11:15I have never seen something so stunning. I need her to dress me like that.
01:11:23Wait, this means that I fumbled a super talented baddie?
01:11:28Oh, fuck! It's everything I've ever wanted. You saved this night.
01:11:34Holy cow. This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen. You're a visionary.
01:11:44And this time, everyone knows it.
01:11:48So Leia, who are you wearing?
01:11:51I'm wearing...
01:11:52Danny Maxwell.
01:11:57For Closet Jean Couture.
01:12:00I can't be.
01:12:02Danny's the superstar designer that I've worked.
01:12:05This is what I've been trying to tell you.
01:12:07Danny is a fashion icon.
01:12:09You. You were never the fashion prodigy of my mother's couture brand.
01:12:17You were the brain dead nepo baby idiot she warned me about.
01:12:21What is that strung out deadbeat intern doing at the fucking Met Gala?
01:12:27I thought you fired her.
01:12:30I didn't fire her. I actually promoted her to creative director.
01:12:34You promoted this deadbeat and you fired my star designer?
01:12:42Yeah, I did.
01:12:44Do you know how hard I've worked?
01:12:45Do you know how much money I spent to get Danny Maxwell in my fashion house?
01:12:52She is the lifeblood of this brand. And what did you do? You fired her?
01:12:59So is that Maxwell along?
01:13:04Vanessa, you're fired.
01:13:07No, Mom, please, please. You can't. I need this.
01:13:10I'm embarrassed to even call you my daughter.
01:13:13When I turned this over to you, my fashion house dominated the entire world of couture.
01:13:19And now look at it. It's a laughingstock.
01:13:22You. You did this.
01:13:25Mom, I'm really sorry.
01:13:27She made me fucked up. How did I fucked up so bad?
01:13:35Hannah is the chair of the Met Gala and she personally banned Danny.
01:13:40You would not want to bash an outcast on your team now, would you?
01:13:43You have some nerve telling me what I did or didn't do.
01:13:50You duped us all into thinking you're a fashion icon when you're nothing more than a dirty scammer in a designer dress.
01:14:02Danny Maxwell is officially granted a lifetime invitation to the Met Gala.
01:14:07But you are banned forever.
01:14:12And you're fired too.
01:14:14Security.
01:14:15No.
01:14:16Take her away.
01:14:16No, please.
01:14:17Hand her over to the cops. She needs to pay for her crimes against fashion.
01:14:22No, please.
01:14:23Danny, please come back to work for me.
01:14:30You know how much I have done for you.
01:14:33My fashion house can't survive without you.
01:14:36I am begging you.
01:14:39Everything you gave me, I gave it all back when your daughter accused me of sabotaging the thing I put my heart and soul into creating.
01:14:46She's exaggerating. That's not what happened. It was Brynn.
01:14:50She was scheming to try to steal Danny's job the whole time.
01:14:54That bitch duped me and got me all confused.
01:14:56Seriously?
01:14:58Well, that confusion almost cost me my whole fashion career and everything I've worked for.
01:15:03Did it feel good making me take the fall for your stupid mistakes?
01:15:08Danny, I'm so sorry.
01:15:11I'm sorry too.
01:15:14I'm not coming back to Anya Winter Couture.
01:15:17I'm staying where I know I'm appreciated.
01:15:19Where no one's ever questioned my talent, my vision, my style.
01:15:24So please, step aside.
01:15:31This is our moment.
01:15:36And we at Claude Saint-Jean Couture wish you nothing but the best, Anya.
01:15:46You ruined it. You have ruined everything I've built.
01:15:56Wow, really going at you like a bunch of savages, aren't they?
01:16:00Yes.
01:16:01Sorry, are you crying?
01:16:04God, you're hot.
01:16:06Have you ever wanted to be the face of a menswear line?
01:16:09Hell yeah.
01:16:10You better not show up at the office tomorrow.
01:16:16I never should have hired you.
01:16:21Oh no, I need a job.
01:16:23Vanessa, Vanessa.
01:16:26I'm too hot to be on these streets.
01:16:34Call me.
01:16:34Danny, why can I ever reach you?
01:16:39We'll have to take some red carpet pics together.
01:16:41I need all 900 million of my followers to know exactly who made my dress to.
01:16:46Give me five minutes.
01:16:47I knew you'd take back your crown.
01:17:06For believing in me.
01:17:07I always have.
01:17:09And I always will.
01:17:12Oh!
01:17:17Congratulations.
01:17:25You made it to the top.
01:17:28And that's where I'll stay.
01:17:47I don't know.
01:18:10Hello.
