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.
00:00:17Thirty couture gouts. Destroyed. We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:21No, no, 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?
00:01:55No! It still isn't right!
00:02:07Um...
00:02:08Miss 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 three 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 to celebrate.
00:03:46Oh my god!
00:03:47Oh my god!
00:03:49Oh my god!
00:03:50What?
00:03:51I'm so sorry.
00:03:52I'm so sorry.
00:03:53No, I'm so sorry.
00:03:54I'm so sorry.
00:03:55I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:56This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:57Dior who?
00:03:58Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:59I don't know.
00:04:09You all head back to the studio,
00:04:11I'll grab some champagne to celebrate.
00:04:12Oh my God!
00:04:15I can't believe Dani completed
00:04:16this entire collection overnight.
00:04:18Where'd she even come from?
00:04:19No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.
00:04:22What 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,
00:04:38not our big fat mouths.
00:04:39Jordan, who is this woman?
00:04:41Is 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 St. Martin's in London
00:04:52and is currently an editor for Vogue.
00:04:55And she'll be acting as CEO
00:04:56while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.
00:05:00Is this really the design team
00:05:01that created the top couture collection
00:05:03in 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.
00:05:19Anya Winter is now the top couture collection
00:05:23in 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,
00:05:35lightning-fast designs, and perfect technicality.
00:05:40And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:42Who does she think she is?
00:05:43Miranda Priestly?
00:05:45Oh my god.
00:05:51What is this?
00:05:52Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:59No!
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
00:06:14as 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?
00:06:26A collection?
00:06:27Congratulations!
00:06:29Who are you?
00:06:31You.
00:06:32You.
00:06:33You.
00:06:34You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:37You're fired.
00:06:39Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:42Danny Maxwell.
00:06:44Jordan, what does this lumpy little girl do here?
00:06:48Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.
00:06:51She's an intern?
00:06:52Mmm.
00:06:53So what?
00:06:54You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom
00:06:57to throw a rager the night before the biggest couture show
00:07:00in the history of this house?
00:07:02That's not what we...
00:07:04I would say we could take out the damages from your salary.
00:07:07But you're probably not getting paid.
00:07:10Actually, she's our highest paid employee.
00:07:12She's making over $500,000 a year.
00:07:14Jordan!
00:07:15That's...
00:07:16That'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.
00:07:23And what?
00:07:24This is how you spend the money?
00:07:26No, no.
00:07:27Look, the team was up all night working.
00:07:29Our hands are cramping.
00:07:30We're tired.
00:07:31But we saved the spring show.
00:07:34Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:07:37Celebrate.
00:07:39By 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.
00:07:50Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:55Unless, of course, you're just as useless as she is.
00:07:58Or 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 gonna throw me under the bus.
00:08:08Danny's my girlfriend.
00:08:10If I take her side, I'll be committing career suicide.
00:08:13You're right.
00:08:14Danny's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.
00:08:19Jordan, seriously?
00:08:21What are you still doing here, intern?
00:08:24Pack up your shit and get out of here.
00:08:27If that's how it's gonna be.
00:08:28This isn't Danny's fault.
00:08:29She's the one who saved...
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32Do you wanna go with her?
00:08:34If anyone else here helps Danny destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.
00:08:41It's okay, guys.
00:08:42Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:08:45And you've all earned your spots.
00:08:47It was my fault.
00:08:48I'm leaving.
00:08:52I'm leaving.
00:08:56How could you?
00:09:01I'll be back.
00:09:03Dispose of that piece of shit.
00:09:07Baby!
00:09:08I'm so sorry.
00:09:11We've been together for two years, you couldn't even defend me?
00:09:13She would've fired me on the spot.
00:09:17Look, 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...
00:09:27Then who's gonna pay for all the expensive champagne that we're gonna have at our anniversary dinner tonight?
00:09:34Well, you better spring for caviar, too.
00:09:37You owe me...
00:09:39Big time, Jordan.
00:09:41I promise.
00:09:42I'm gonna make it up to you.
00:09:44Let's meet tonight at 8.
00:09:46Okay?
00:09:47Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:09:50I'll see you then.
00:09:57Hmm.
00:09:58Your 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.
00:10:07Thanks not much.
00:10:08She better not be.
00:10:11Hmm.
00:10:13You'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?
00:10:27Say it.
00:10:30Mommy.
00:10:32What else?
00:10:34What else?
00:10:36Does baby need a change?
00:10:38Baby needs a change.
00:10:40Yeah, he does.
00:10:41Stinky.
00:10:43Stinky something.
00:10:44Yes, mother.
00:10:47Mm-hmm.
00:10:49Mm-hmm.
00:10:51Stupid people.
00:10:52They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:10:59I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:11:01I have stylists breathing down my neck after that marvel of a couture show.
00:11:06I 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.
00:11:28Is there any other Maxwell on the design team?
00:11:31I just...
00:11:32I'm gonna stop this at some point.
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 to make sure those other couture houses couldn't get their hands on her.
00:11:49Without her...
00:11:52This...
00:11:54This whole house will crumble.
00:11:59Don't worry, mother.
00:12:01I'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.
00:12:17Do 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.
00:12:38Rest up.
00:12:39And I'll take care of everything.
00:12:40I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser.
00:12:46What the hell?
00:12:48Where were we?
00:12:53What the hell do you want?
00:12:55The 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?
00:13:05She 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.
00:13:12Well, let's hope Maxwell can pull this off.
00:13:20Where is Brynn Maxwell?
00:13:24Jordan, get Brynn on the phone and tell her nicely to get her ass here now.
00:13:37What happened?
00:13:38I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection.
00:13:41But, guess it got bigger problems.
00:13:46Dani, the grumpy 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.
00:13:58I rolled up hungover five hours late after almost ruining the Paris fashion show.
00:14:04I'm definitely getting fired.
00:14:07Where are you?
00:14:08There will be 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.
00:14:19Why 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 Dani'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.
00:14:37Nice work.
00:14:39Man, dressed in Solea, that's like, I'm so sick.
00:14:43I know.
00:14:45This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.
00:14:48And 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 can be my D.
00:14:58Unless, of course, you want to go with Dani.
00:15:01Where is Jordan? He's 20 when it's late.
00:15:08I don't want her.
00:15:10I was gonna break up with her tonight anyway.
00:15:14I want you.
00:15:16Duh.
00:15:18Good choice.
00:15:21Guess I'll drag him here myself.
00:15:23God, you're so powerful, so sexy.
00:15:36It's her anniversary and you're fucking the woman who fired me?
00:15:42She is a fashion superstar, okay? And you're just...
00:15:46An unemployed loser.
00:15:48You spineless dick.
00:15:49You psycho bitch, are you out of your fucking mind?
00:15:53That's it, you cheating piece of...
00:15:55Dani, Dani, you are embarrassing yourself.
00:15:58I'm the embarrassment?
00:16:00Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.
00:16:03And now you're shoving your tongue down your new boss's throat?
00:16:07Know your place, you tacky, talentless sloth.
00:16:11Face it, Dani.
00:16:13You're a fool.
00:16:15And you can't get mad at me for...
00:16:17Upgrading.
00:16:20I love you, Jordan.
00:16:23And the only reason you're here is because of...
00:16:26Because I told Anya to make you PR manager.
00:16:29Are you kidding me?
00:16:31More ridiculous lies.
00:16:33You? You're a deadbeat intern.
00:16:36As if my mother would have anything to do with you.
00:16:40We...
00:16:42Are...
00:16:43Over...
00:16:45Dani.
00:16:47I'm calling security.
00:16:50Why don't you call your mother instead?
00:16:52The founder of this house.
00:16:54She'll tell you that you're making a huge mistake.
00:16:57You know, enough with the bullshit, Dani.
00:16:59It's cringe.
00:17:00Is this how you got your job here?
00:17:02By spewing insane lies?
00:17:03Hi, security.
00:17:04Yes, there's a delusional ex-employee who's refusing to leave my studio.
00:17:11Aw, Dani.
00:17:13Don't be sad.
00:17:14Look, I get it.
00:17:16I'm powerful.
00:17:17Smart.
00:17:19Experienced.
00:17:21And you?
00:17:23Well, you're jobless, talentless, and irrelevant.
00:17:27Look, 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.
00:17:39I'm done here anyway.
00:17:44And where do you think you're going, Dani?
00:17:47Guards!
00:17:48She's over here.
00:17:51Who the hell are you?
00:17:53I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture collection.
00:17:56Brynn Maxwell.
00:17:58Oh.
00:18:00Wow.
00:18:01Well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.
00:18:03Oh.
00:18:05Is that an archival saloon bag?
00:18:08Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.
00:18:11It's no wonder you created such a groundbreaking collection.
00:18:14These dumbasses don't even know that I'm totally jacking Dani's glory.
00:18:18Who cares?
00:18:19As long as Anya's daughter thinks I'm a genius, I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.
00:18:25Vanessa, I know who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring collection.
00:18:30She'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?
00:18:46Dani's done it again.
00:18:48You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?
00:18:51Dani Maxwell?
00:18:53She was just fired from Anya Winter's Fashion House.
00:18:55The show's ahead. How is that possible?
00:18:57Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.
00:18:59Of 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.
00:19:08Call Dani up. Let's get her here.
00:19:10But Anya Winter's is the number one fashion house in the world. We're not even ranked top ten.
00:19:15Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Dani's door already. You really think she would work for us?
00:19:19I'll do anything to get Dani on this team.
00:19:20Rumor has it to Leia's 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.
00:19:31Get the jet ready. I'm going to Paris. And I'm not leaving without Dani Maxwell.
00:19:41Sabotage? Are you kidding me?
00:19:44You can take the fall from my stupid mistake, Dani.
00:19:47Who will believe you over me?
00:19:49You were out partying all night when you should have been confirming the route with the courier.
00:19:52And you destroyed my mother's studio on your drunken bender.
00:19:55You all see me as some incompetent intern just because I'm not wearing the latest off the runway clothes.
00:20:01Maybe 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, Dani Maxwell. I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate yes.
00:20:20Yes.
00:20:22Don't touch me!
00:20:24Jordan, don't let them do this. We both know you're not capable of handling the outcome.
00:20:28First you threaten Brynn, and then you threaten me.
00:20:32You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Dani.
00:20:35You know, jealousy looks hideous on you, so 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?
00:20:46Let's see, vandalism, insubordination, and that sweater is definitely a crime against fashion.
00:20:53Don't you know that I can end your entire fashion career with one phone call to my mother?
00:20:58Then go ahead. Do it.
00:21:03If Vanessa calls Anya, she'll find out that Dani's the real star designer.
00:21:07Vanessa, your mom's in recovery. Shouldn't you go to the fashion council first instead? To make sure another fashion house isn't infected with Dani's terrible taste?
00:21:18Brynn's right. You should go right to the source. Do not let her get away with this.
00:21:22I have all my mother's industry contacts at my fingertips. I'm texting the fashion council now.
00:21:29Dani Maxwell is blacklisted from Anya Winter. Other designers, beware of this dangerous scammer.
00:21:37No other fashion house will want, you know. Good luck getting a part-time job at Forever 21.
00:21:43Guess that's that then.
00:21:45But before I go, I have one question for you, Vanessa.
00:21:49Does Anya, the CEO and creator of this fashion house, know that you fired me?
00:21:54What kind of idiot do you think I am, Dani? My mother practically begged me to fire your incompetent ass.
00:22:01You thought you could roll up here in your bargain bin sweater and call yourself a fashion icon?
00:22:07Your career is so hopeful.
00:22:10Hey, security, can you take her away and throw her to something? Jail cell, police, whatever?
00:22:15Get your hands off of her.
00:22:20That is my new creative director.
00:22:25Dani Maxwell will join Claude St. John of St. John Couture.
00:22:31You came all the way from New York for me?
00:22:33Of course.
00:22:35I flew straight here.
00:22:39Nice to see you again, Dani.
00:22:41I haven't seen you since I interned at Valentino my freshman year.
00:22:44Wait, you went to Valentino with him?
00:22:49How'd you get that job, Dani? You scam your way into that one too?
00:22:54God, Dani. We went out and I had no idea that you were such a grifter.
00:23:00I feel so, so used.
00:23:04So this is how Anya Winter treats their most talented designers.
00:23:07You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.
00:23:10Claude, I...
00:23:11That is Mr. St. John to you.
00:23:12And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.
00:23:16Yeah, what are you, a mid-level PR pawn?
00:23:19Should probably know when to shut the hell up.
00:23:21Mr. St. John, Dani here has done irreparable damage and...
00:23:25Sorry, who the hell are you?
00:23:27Obviously I.
00:23:28I'm right. I don't have time for your rambling.
00:23:29Wait, enough!
00:23:31This idiot destroyed my mother's collection,
00:23:34wrecked her entire Paris fashion studio,
00:23:37ruined the entire couture show,
00:23:38almost lost us millions.
00:23:40And why are we still talking about her?
00:23:42Did you not ask your mother who Dani was before you fired her?
00:23:45What kind of idiot do you think I am?
00:23:51My mother runs this fashion house with an iron fist.
00:23:55Of course I consulted her and you know what she said?
00:23:58She said that this idiot Dani is a Nepo baby intern
00:24:01who scammed her 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 said to me,
00:24:11do me a favor and fire this bitch.
00:24:13Anya practically begged me to work for her.
00:24:16She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.
00:24:18Okay, we all know Anya, okay?
00:24:20And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything.
00:24:23Especially to work with a deadweight intern.
00:24:26Then why are you still here?
00:24:28What, you little...
00:24:29Oh, don't even try it.
00:24:31Dani.
00:24:33Will you come with me and be my new creative director of St. John Couture?
00:24:37God, I don't know.
00:24:38Whatever you are making, I will double it.
00:24:40Okay, her salary is 500k.
00:24:41She's literally robbing us blind.
00:24:44A millionaire is that?
00:24:49Please, a million dollar salary?
00:24:51Your fashion house doesn't even rank in the top 10.
00:24:54Are you clinically insane?
00:24:55You're an even bigger bullshitter than Dani.
00:25:00A million dollars for a talentless intern.
00:25:04Way to dig your own grave.
00:25:07I thought I told you to shut up.
00:25:09Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
00:25:12Seriously, but it's not about the money.
00:25:15Dani, if you join my fashion house, the title of creative director will be yours.
00:25:20Creative control over the next season's Couture Collection will be yours.
00:25:24My designers, my studio, my full trust.
00:25:27And hell, if you want me, I'm even yours too.
00:25:30Oh, Claude.
00:25:35Okay, look, I get it.
00:25:37You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand, and I respect you for that.
00:25:42So let me remind you that Dani is a lazy scam artist.
00:25:47Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.
00:25:49In that case...
00:25:56Okay.
00:25:58What is all this shit?
00:25:59This shit is everything that your mother gave to me.
00:26:02Her one and only key to her personal studio.
00:26:05The business black card in my name, which I could have used to repair the damages, but...
00:26:09I guess that's not my concern anymore.
00:26:10You can tell Anya that I, Dani Maxwell, am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house and never, ever come back.
00:26:22Aww.
00:26:24So sad for us.
00:26:26Not.
00:26:28You did not deserve any special treatment, Dani.
00:26:30I mean, just look at you.
00:26:32Your complete fashion flop.
00:26:34You 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.
00:26:41Dani, it is true.
00:26:43We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter for the number one title spot.
00:26:47Then I'm gonna change that.
00:26:49I'll join as creative director.
00:26:51And by this time, next season's runway show, Saint Jean Couture will be number one.
00:27:00You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Dani.
00:27:03Losing your spot at the number one fashion house to go and work for this desperate up and comer.
00:27:10Although, who else would hire you?
00:27:14Embarrassed. For her.
00:27:16You know Vanessa's gonna burn this place to the ground and you are gonna be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.
00:27:21And something tells me you're not qualified for that, are you?
00:27:25Qualified? And what exactly are you qualified for?
00:27:28Propositioning idiotic interns to go out and peddle up your hideous designs to some micro-influencers?
00:27:36What?
00:27:41I did.
00:27:44She did.
00:27:47She will.
00:27:49Who is that?
00:27:50That was Solea's team. They've asked for five sketches from Dani for her Met Gala look.
00:27:56What was that about micro-influencers?
00:27:59If I'm not mistaken, she has more followers than anyone in the world?
00:28:04Absolutely not. Brynn is supposed to design Solea's gown.
00:28:08Brynn?
00:28:10Guess we got ourselves some competition.
00:28:13This isn't a competition. It's an all-out fashion war.
00:28:17Well, I hope you're ready to die on the battlefield.
00:28:19Let's go, Dani.
00:28:20Gladly. I'm losing brain cells talking to these people.
00:28:24May the best designer win.
00:28:26Don't worry about her, Vanessa. Just send these to Solea's team and there's no way she won't pick us.
00:28:35I'll be Dani with her own designs.
00:28:39Oh my god, Brynn. These are incredible.
00:28:43Between these and the Spring Couture Collection, you've really proven yourself.
00:28:47I'm officially naming you as Creative Director of Anya Winter Couture.
00:28:54This is a dream come true.
00:28:59And don't forget about me.
00:29:02In the face of the menswear line.
00:29:06Great. One step at a time.
00:29:09Stick with me and you'll be very satisfied.
00:29:12Every designer will be gunning for our spot as top couture collection in the world.
00:29:19That's why we need to dress Solea at the Met Gala.
00:29:23And no one can touch us.
00:29:25Not even Claude and that hack Dani.
00:29:28I won't let you down, Vanessa.
00:29:30Now, walk me through how you designed the couture collection in four hours.
00:29:34How did I do it?
00:29:38Oh god, I can't design for crap.
00:29:40I have no idea how Dani pulled that off.
00:29:43What the hell am I going to tell her?
00:29:45I used a highly specialized sewing technique that I learned in my final year of fashion school.
00:29:52The details are really boring. I could show you later.
00:29:56Of course. You have your own technique. You are the creative genius.
00:30:00I mean, these are already Met Gala worthy.
00:30:03If you can bring them to life half as well as you did the Spring Collection, you have nothing to worry about.
00:30:07Nothing at all.
00:30:09I am now the creative director of the number one fashion house in the world.
00:30:14Step aside, Dani. I'm the new couture queen now.
00:30:18What do you want?
00:30:22Anya, it's Claude Saint-Jean. Listen, I'm just calling to let you know that we are officially in the running to dress Soleil at her Met Gala.
00:30:31What?
00:30:33We are the number one couture house in the world right now.
00:30:36Why 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.
00:30:48Cheers.
00:30:49What the hell is that rat up to? He knows I have a design prodigy at my right hand.
00:30:59Why would he think anybody could beat a superstar like Dani?
00:31:07Unless...
00:31:11Mother, you'll never believe the sketches I got from.
00:31:13Tell me you didn't fire my most talented designer!
00:31:19Calm down, Mother, or else you'll have another heart attack.
00:31:23Like I told you already, I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.
00:31:27Why the hell is Claude Saint-Jean competing with us for the Met Gala partnership?
00:31:33Well, 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.
00:31:39They'll design something cheap and tacky for Saleya.
00:31:44And then she'll tell everybody she knows not to touch Saint-Jean couture with a ten-foot pole.
00:31:50And then their sad little fashion careers, they'll be over it before they even started.
00:31:56So you...
00:31:58Gaslit Claude into hiring our cast-off?
00:32:01Sure did.
00:32:03He's convinced that the talentless Nepo Baby is the creative genius behind our spring line.
00:32:07That's brilliant!
00:32:09And I thought you're a weak little pushover like your father, but...
00:32:14Maybe you're more like me than I knew.
00:32:17Vanessa, I want you to take full control over the Met Gala partnership with Saleya.
00:32:23Oh, thank you!
00:32:25No more talking!
00:32:27It's time to get to work, and we need to make damn sure Saleya picks our gown for the Gala.
00:32:32We are going to make Claude St. John the laughing stock of the fashion industry.
00:32:41Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.
00:32:44Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.
00:32:47Are you sure she can handle this?
00:32:48Did I ask your opinion?
00:32:49My daughter can't fuck this up.
00:32:53Not with Danny Maxwell designing the gown for Saleya.
00:32:58Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude St. John to hire our strung out sad sack of an intern?
00:33:05I 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.
00:33:19So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?
00:33:34It's insane what you've accomplished.
00:33:36I mean, four years ago you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino, and now look at you.
00:33:42Your own couture line.
00:33:44It's everything you ever wanted.
00:33:46Not everything.
00:33:47Well, what about you Danny?
00:33:50I mean, when I met you, you were a quiet little intern, and now you're a fashion genius?
00:33:56Nah, I'm serious.
00:33:57I mean, that work you did on that spring collection, it was...
00:34:00It was inspiring.
00:34:08Yes.
00:34:11Of course.
00:34:13We'll be there.
00:34:14We'll be there.
00:34:16So, Leah loved your MacGala sketches, huh?
00:34:19She chose her favorite from you and Brayden and she wants you both to show her a sample.
00:34:23Oh my god, when?
00:34:26Tomorrow afternoon?
00:34:27You have 24 hours to make this dress for Saleya.
00:34:30Better get started.
00:34:32I mean, we just got back from New York and I...
00:34:34You created an entire couture collection in what?
00:34:37Four hours?
00:34:39This should be a breeze, right?
00:34:40Right.
00:34:42I can totally pull this off.
00:34:44Then do it.
00:34:45Now!
00:34:46You think you can pull off creating a MacGala gown for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?
00:34:53Who do you think you're talking to?
00:34:55Well, whatever it is.
00:34:57It just needs to be better than this.
00:34:59This is our competition.
00:35:01That's my sketch!
00:35:05That fraud print's been stealing my designs.
00:35:07Of course.
00:35:12She has no real talent of her own.
00:35:18Damn.
00:35:19That dress is insane to me.
00:35:21A skirt made of stained glass?
00:35:24Insane is right.
00:35:26It's gonna be nearly impossible to sew a bodice I could support the weight of the skirt.
00:35:30If Saleya puts on this gown, it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:35:34Prima wants to be a fashion icon so bad.
00:35:37How will she pull us off?
00:35:39Then it's an easy win, right?
00:35:41We just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.
00:35:44Not exactly.
00:35:46I'm gonna make the same exact dress, only better.
00:35:50Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.
00:35:53But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.
00:35:57I said nearly impossible.
00:36:04Bryn can try to rip off my designs all she wants.
00:36:07But without the brains or skills to back it up, there's no way she's gonna pull it off.
00:36:12And if she tries, that gown is gonna fall apart faster than you can say fashion victim.
00:36:17Let's remember this day, the last day that Claude Sejon Couture will be at the bottom of the fashion food chase.
00:36:28By this time tomorrow, we'll be the new rulers of the Couture Kingdom.
00:36:33What the hell is this? Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress to the bottom of the dress?
00:36:44Bryn, the skirt is too heavy.
00:36:46No excuses!
00:36:48We have four hours to make a dress for Saleya.
00:36:57Gosh, I'm just getting trash at a club right now.
00:37:00Bryn!
00:37:01How's everything going?
00:37:02Great!
00:37:04I just dropped my scissors.
00:37:06We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:37:09Phone call.
00:37:11I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:37:13Now!
00:37:14Don't worry, Mother.
00:37:15I have everything under control.
00:37:17That clown Claude and that fraud designer are going down.
00:37:22You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:37:24Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:37:29Keep it up.
00:37:30There might be another promotion in your future.
00:37:36If I can pull this off, I'll go down in fashion history.
00:37:41Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:37:43I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:44I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:45And now.
00:37:46I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:47I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:48I WANT TO GOP
00:37:49I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:50I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:51I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:52I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:53I'm a COMPETITION
00:37:54Denny.
00:37:55Denny.
00:37:56Denny.
00:37:57Wake up.
00:37:59Come on.
00:38:00Let's get you to bed.
00:38:01Wake up. Come on.
00:38:06Let's get you to bed.
00:38:25Good morning, superstar.
00:38:31This is it. The gown that can make or break me.
00:38:51You should be proud, Danny.
00:38:53It's exceptional.
00:38:55Just like you.
00:38:57Thanks, I...
00:39:01I couldn't have done it without you.
00:39:09Oh, 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 have 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.
00:39:29Ugh!
00:39:38Gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:39:41What am I gonna do?
00:39:43Brynn!
00:39:48That better be the best dress you've ever made.
00:39:50Let's go.
00:39:51Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:39:52We're gonna get that Met Gala partnership.
00:39:53In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:39:54Where's your top secret weapon?
00:39:55She'll be here soon.
00:39:56She'll make a big impression on Solea.
00:39:57Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:39:59I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:40:05Her talent speaks for itself.
00:40:06Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate frumpy loser.
00:40:10I just have to find a way to switch mine and Danny's garment bags when no one's looking.
00:40:15It's not like Solea would even trust that unstylish little piece of...
00:40:40Danny.
00:40:47You look stunning.
00:40:48Thanks.
00:40:52Speechless.
00:40:53Is that a first?
00:40:55Are those that...
00:40:56One of a kind Anya Winter Fall Couture books?
00:40:59Yes.
00:41:00I am.
00:41:01Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:41:03She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:41:05They were a gift.
00:41:06For designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:41:08What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:41:11Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern,
00:41:14but taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:17That's a whole new loan.
00:41:19Taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:22Friend.
00:41:23I know a thing or two about that.
00:41:25Watch your ears.
00:41:26Careful now.
00:41:28You think you're some design protege, Danny?
00:41:31This, give me that.
00:41:33This is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.
00:41:37If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's gonna 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 gonna 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.
00:42:23The dress you made?
00:42:24Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design?
00:42:27Or 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?
00:42:47That dress you designed is beautiful but very, very complicated.
00:42:55How did you manage to pull that off?
00:42:57We'll just see.
00:42:59Won't we?
00:43:01Yes, we will.
00:43:02Oh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:13If I don't do something fast, everyone's gonna find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:17I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame and I'm not letting Danny that disaster take it from me.
00:43:48Bye-bye, Danny.
00:43:51So Leia's arriving now.
00:43:52No photos, no sucking up, and no touching.
00:43:56Unless she touches you.
00:43:57Got it?
00:43:58Got it.
00:44:07So Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:44:09It's so nice to meet you.
00:44:11Where's the other one?
00:44:12She must be running a little bit late.
00:44:14I hate people who waste my time.
00:44:16I think she saw my gown and she felt inadequate.
00:44:20Let's see it then.
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.
00:44:53Or maybe I do.
00:44:54I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:45:06Sorry, fam. It's my Pisces moon. This is like the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen. I feel connected to it on like a cosmic level. I must wear this dress.
00:45:10I knew you would love it.
00:45:11I knew you would love it.
00:45:12But what about the other designer? She might.
00:45:13She's late. I'll give her three seconds. If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:45:15Three, two, one.
00:45:16Wait!
00:45:17I'm so sorry. I'm late, Solea. I had a little bump in the rug.
00:45:18I suppose I can forgive you.
00:45:19I can forgive you.
00:45:20This is like the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:21This is like the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:22I feel connected to it on like a cosmic level.
00:45:24I must wear this dress.
00:45:25But what about the other designer? She might.
00:45:28She's late.
00:45:29I'll give her three seconds. If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:45:33Three, two, one.
00:45:35Wait!
00:45:37I'm so sorry. I'm late, Solea. I had a little bump in the rug.
00:45:43I suppose I can forgive you. Mercury is in retrograde.
00:45:48Nice gown, Brynn.
00:45:50I wish I could say the same, Dani, but your stinks.
00:45:56Gee, I 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. I mean like mine is still better.
00:46:11Right?
00:46:13I wouldn't say that.
00:46:15What?
00:46:16Isn't that crazy?
00:46:18That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and Solea still likes my design better?
00:46:25How much longer can you keep up this shrink?
00:46:28I must know. What was your inspiration?
00:46:32I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and you 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.
00:46:53Dani, I feel like you really get me.
00:46:55You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:46:58Okay, what about my vision?
00:47:00What about my art?
00:47:02Brynn's right.
00:47:03She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:47:09Brynn, tell us how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:47:16Crap, I have no idea how Dani made this. What do I say?
00:47:21How did I do it?
00:47:24Um, you're not gate keeping your creative process from Solea, are you?
00:47:31If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala, doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:47:39It's true. Solea doesn't like gate keepers.
00:47:44It's a simple question, Brynn.
00:47:46If you can't answer it, then like, did you really even make the dress?
00:47:50I think the real question here is why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:47:57Clearly she's trying to steal my technique because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:48:01Okay, this taped together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:48:04It's an elementary school art project.
00:48:06Solea, you cannot wear Dani's dress. I mean, look at it. It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:48:14Besides, it's made out of New York Street trash.
00:48:19She's right. It does kind of have like a fishy smell to it.
00:48:24Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:48:28Well, obviously this is just a sample. The real dress would not-
00:48:31Okay, but my sample is pristine.
00:48:33I mean, Solea, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway.
00:48:38But, Dani's?
00:48:40Dani's is probably made out of disease, rat feces, and meat juice.
00:48:46Oh God, you know I'm a die-hard vegan.
00:48:50I've made my decision.
00:48:52The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...
00:48:58Brin's.
00:48:59I 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, Dani.
00:49:10But it's easier to go back to trash when...
00:49:13You are trash.
00:49:15But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:49:20Brin, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:49:23Like, like, right now?
00:49:24You made this dress in 24 hours. Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:49:30Once Solea sees Brin for the fraud she is, she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:49:35Yeah. Brin, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?
00:49:41Now.
00:49:42I really work better alone.
00:49:51Not today you don't.
00:49:52Do you want me to wear your dress to the Met Gala or not?
00:49:55This is it.
00:49:57This is it.
00:49:59The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.
00:50:03The moment my talents will finally be recognized.
00:50:07Solea, Hannah 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.
00:50:15She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:50:17Maybe they're gonna do a feature.
00:50:18Oh my God, she's coming up here right now.
00:50:25Wait, you're not Hannah.
00:50:28Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.
00:50:31I'm her personal assistant, here to deliver a message.
00:50:35On Anya Winter's suggestion and by the Fashion Council's orders,
00:50:39Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry and banned from the Met Gala for life.
00:50:49Banned? What the hell for?
00:50:51Insubordination.
00:50:53Sabotage amounting to millions of dollars in potential losses.
00:50:57A 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 Solea's personal studio, waste her precious time knowing you are hated by literally everyone in the fashion industry.
00:51:15Are you trying to tank her career?
00:51:18This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:51:21This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:51:25Get her out of here.
00:51:26Now.
00:51:31Congratulations.
00:51:33I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:51:35And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:51:41Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:51:43Hey, get your hands off of me right now.
00:51:46You okay?
00:51:48Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:51:52Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life too.
00:51:55Banned? By who?
00:51:57Hannah Summer herself.
00:51:59The editor in chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny.
00:52:05This is the best day of my life.
00:52:07Mine too.
00:52:09Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:52:12Okay.
00:52:13I am the real hero here.
00:52:16I mean, Solea'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.
00:52:30And how do you repay me?
00:52:32By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:52:35Not everyone.
00:52:38Let's go, Danny.
00:52:43I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:52:52I believe it. We'll get our latest post.
00:52:55Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:52:58I'll be giving the designer a very special shout out on stage after my exclusive performance.
00:53:02Like, that's my dress. That should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:53:09Brent and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:53:12They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:53:14And they're everything that you're not.
00:53:18You deserve to be on that stage.
00:53:22And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:53:25I know what I have to do.
00:53:28I'm going to sneak into the Met Gala.
00:53:32Hell 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.
00:53:43Now, let's drink.
00:53:44Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:53:50Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:53:52Mmm.
00:53:53But it will.
00:53:54You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:54:03Didn't they used to call you...
00:54:04One Cup Club?
00:54:06Oh.
00:54:08You're tall, but you're quite the length.
00:54:11I'm hurt, Danny.
00:54:13And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.
00:54:24Oh.
00:54:34You were lightweight.
00:54:36Speak for yourself.
00:54:40Let's get you to bed.
00:54:43You need to watch the same thing.
00:54:45Seriously, I'm not kidding.
00:54:50Oh, Lord.
00:54:51I'm so hungry.
00:54:53Whoa.
00:54:57I suddenly feel very sober.
00:55:00Me too.
00:55:22What do you think?
00:55:25I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:55:28But what's it for?
00:55:30This.
00:55:32Yeah.
00:55:34This is your party crashing uniform.
00:55:36Marco's gonna meet you on the side entrance of the gala.
00:55:41I owe you both my life.
00:55:43I just wanna make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she deserves.
00:55:48But she did it.
00:55:53I'll meet you there.
00:55:54Where are you going?
00:55:56I am breaking Anya Winter out of the hospital.
00:55:59When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house and sent a fraud to the biggest event in fashion history,
00:56:06it's gonna be over for her and Brynn.
00:56:10For everything.
00:56:11I'll meet you there.
00:56:15I'll meet you there.
00:56:24Good luck.
00:56:25We're here at fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala, where everyone who is anyone has gathered in New York City to celebrate the best of fashion.
00:56:47Oh my god.
00:56:49Solea!
00:56:51Darling, how are you?
00:56:53Oh my god, I am freaking out right now.
00:56:56I mean, this gown!
00:56:58Anyway, best dress of the night.
00:57:02Hands down.
00:57:04Now tell me, who made this incredible creation?
00:57:08I'm actually not revealing who made it yet, but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.
00:57:12Krypt it.
00:57:14I love it.
00:57:15Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.
00:57:21You know, that Brynn collection that you did was just like, whoa, you know?
00:57:26Yeah, I'm kind of like, a genius.
00:57:31Brynn got me banned from the Met Gala, but I made it in. And soon she'll be exposed for the fraud she is.
00:57:44How did that slut get in here? She's going to ruin everything!
00:57:50Champagne, Brynn?
00:57:52You cannot be here.
00:57:54You 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. I'm the guest of honor!
00:58:09After all the blood, sweat, and tears I put into making that gown, she stole it from me and dragged my name through the mud.
00:58:15Ben, why are you so obsessed with taking credit for my work?
00:58:20I 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, basking in all your glory.
00:58:34And you? You will still be a no one.
00:58:38You come in here dressed up like a servant, expecting me to do what?
00:58:43Fall out your feet and go,
00:58:45Oh, I'm so sorry Dani, you are so smart and so talented.
00:58:49Never gonna happen.
00:58:51I am rubbing elbows with the hottest, most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:58:57I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala.
00:58:59And you can't touch me now.
00:59:02And who exactly designed the gown your wear?
00:59:05Certainly 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?
00:59:29Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?
00:59:31Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?
00:59:35And what have you done to prove yourself?
00:59:37Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?
00:59:40You know, the servant suit really fits you, Dani.
00:59:45I 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.
00:59:57But the minute Vanessa offers you 15 minutes of fame, you drop me without a thought.
01:00:02What 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.
01:00:09Yeah, jealousy is a disease, Dani.
01:00:14Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
01:00:20You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
01:00:24Are you really so desperate to steal my glory that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
01:00:28You must be psychotic.
01:00:29Really?
01:00:30And what's the word for stealing another designer's work and using it for clout?
01:00:48Claude.
01:00:51Did you come here to fall at my feet and beg me for a job now that my fashion house
01:00:57officially has the Met Gala partnership and yours?
01:01:02Yours is dead in the water.
01:01:05I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now, don't you?
01:01:09Not as much as you're going to regret putting your daughter in charge.
01:01:12Excuse me?
01:01:15Look.
01:01:18I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:01:24But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
01:01:28There's something you should see.
01:01:34Bitch!
01:01:35My star designer worked her fingers to the bone to make that dress for Saleya.
01:01:39Don't you dare try to take credit for her creative genius.
01:01:46Very soft.
01:01:47But if she worked her fingers to the bone, then wear the calces.
01:01:50Ugh!
01:01:51How dare you assault me.
01:01:53Leave.
01:01:55Now.
01:01:57Or what?
01:01:58So entitled.
01:02:00You know, you should be grateful to my mother for even allowing you to step foot into her historic tour house.
01:02:05I never said I wasn't.
01:02:07Your mother is one of the best designers in the world and she took a chance on me.
01:02:12I've always been grateful to her.
01:02:14Grateful?
01:02:15You've tarnished her name and reputation and now you're trying to sabotage the biggest night in the history of this fashion house.
01:02:22Just like you tried to sabotage the spring couture show!
01:02:24I'm the one that saved that collection.
01:02:33Enough!
01:02:34Oh!
01:02:41God!
01:02:42You are so embarrassing, Danny!
01:02:45You know, breaking up with you was the best decision that I ever made.
01:02:49You didn't need the favor, really.
01:02:51Thank you so much for saving me from a lifetime of disappointment.
01:02:56Disappointment!
01:02:58If we're talking disappointment, I think it's you because you're the one covered in champagne.
01:03:04Oh my god, is there security around here?
01:03:08This disturbed employee is trying to ruin my couture!
01:03:12And she put her filthy hands on me.
01:03:15So Leia is about to announce Brynn as the designer of her gown and you will not ruin this moment.
01:03:25Get your hands off of her.
01:03:27Vanessa, what the hell have you done with my fashion house?
01:03:38Nothing, Mom. I fired Danny just like you asked.
01:03:41You what?!
01:03:42What?!
01:03:49I don't understand. Is it a mistake?
01:03:50A mistake?!
01:03:52A mistake?!
01:03:53I...
01:03:55Oh!
01:03:57Oh my god, Mom, are you okay?
01:03:59I...
01:04:00I just need a minute.
01:04:01Okay.
01:04:04Anya, are you okay?
01:04:05Oh, Danny.
01:04:06I'm fine.
01:04:08I...
01:04:09There's something I need to say.
01:04:12I can't let that old slut blow my cover.
01:04:15No!
01:04:16She shouldn't speak!
01:04:17She could have another heart attack!
01:04:20Security!
01:04:21Get her out of here!
01:04:24I'm okay. I'm fine.
01:04:26Don't touch her! You're making it worse!
01:04:27Don't listen to anything this worthless server has to say. Take my mother someone quieter.
01:04:33I'm fine!
01:04:34I'll be right there.
01:04:36Danny!
01:04:38Hey, I said hands off. Unless you want to be cut it off at least.
01:04:43What the hell was that about?
01:04:48I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the reveal of the designer I've chosen to partner with.
01:04:52Bryn Maxwell, will you join me on stage?
01:04:58Oh!
01:04:59Oh my god.
01:05:00She had a wardrobe malfunction.
01:05:04Freak!
01:05:05Fuck, Bryn.
01:05:06Come on.
01:05:07What the fuck happened?
01:05:08I told you not to fuck it up.
01:05:09I don't know.
01:05:10I...
01:05:12What are you looking at me for?
01:05:13You're the designer of a dress.
01:05:16She wants to be a star designer, so that...
01:05:18Let's see if she has the skills to...
01:05:20Pull it off.
01:05:22Someone needs to fix this.
01:05:24Now!
01:05:26Danny, Danny.
01:05:27If that dress splits anymore, this would be a major PR nightmare.
01:05:30I know you can do it.
01:05:32So, please, can you go ahead and fix the dress?
01:05:35Uh, uh, why would I be able to help?
01:05:37I mean, Bryn's the one that designed the dress.
01:05:42Did you fall and smack your little head on the sidewalk?
01:05:45No.
01:05:46No.
01:05:47Danny is a Nepo Baby intern who knows nothing.
01:05:49And Bryn is the creative genius.
01:05:52Remember?
01:05:53Yes.
01:05:54Right?
01:05:55Right!
01:05:56I...
01:05:57I totally know what I'm doing.
01:05:59Danny is just a frumpy little service worker who wants to play dress up.
01:06:03Mm-hmm.
01:06:08Thanks, Danny.
01:06:09I knew you were useless.
01:06:10Thank God Bryn's here.
01:06:13I can do this.
01:06:14How hard can it be to fix a one-of-a-kind couture gown?
01:06:17I put my heart and soul into a dress Celaya would be proud to wear at the Met Gala.
01:06:24And you built your couture house from the ground up and made so many sacrifices to hire me.
01:06:32I can't let Bryn ruin it all.
01:06:35I have to show Celaya what I can do.
01:06:38So go show them who you are.
01:06:40Prove to Celaya that you are the genius behind that dress.
01:06:43Bryn.
01:06:50The seams are delicate.
01:06:51The stitch has to be...
01:06:52Shut up!
01:06:53You're ruining her concentration.
01:06:55Um...
01:06:56Are you the girl who was, like, banned from the Met Gala?
01:06:58Her life?
01:07:00Yeah, she is.
01:07:01She shouldn't even be here right now.
01:07:03I shouldn't be here?
01:07:04Look at the way Bryn's holding that needle.
01:07:06How much longer can you keep up...
01:07:08Just step aside and let me...
01:07:10Ugh!
01:07:13Okay, somebody has to call Hannah Summer.
01:07:15The chair of the Gala will know how to handle this dirty little party crasher.
01:07:22What now?
01:07:23We have a security situation.
01:07:25Party crasher on the Gala floor.
01:07:27Someone named Danny Maxwell.
01:07:30Danny?
01:07:31Anya's star designer?
01:07:32I'm fine.
01:07:33I am not some delicate little flower.
01:07:35I had a heart attack, not a lobotomy.
01:07:41Hannah, darling.
01:07:46Anya, 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?!
01:07:57I said I've got it.
01:08:01Fine.
01:08:02That's the way you want it to be.
01:08:08See?
01:08:10As a true genius behind this dress, I think it's good as new.
01:08:16Shout out to my hella talented designer Bryn Maxwell of Anya Winter Couture for dressing me tonight.
01:08:22Thanks to her, I swerved a full-on wardrobe malfunction.
01:08:40All of my hard work ruined by Bryn's ego.
01:08:44What was that?
01:08:47You know, it takes a profound lack of talent to destroy a gown so beautiful.
01:08:55Yeah, what kind of shoddy repair job was that?
01:08:57That girl is so not worthy of dressing Solea.
01:09:00Yes, I am!
01:09:02I'm suing Anya Winters for all your brand is worth!
01:09:06This is all your fault!
01:09:08My fault?!
01:09:10I was trying to help!
01:09:11I was trying to take your mom's little Washed Up brand and make it relevant by dressing the hottest, most famous woman in the world!
01:09:18How dare you call my mother's brand Washed Up! You're gonna pay for that!
01:09:22How?
01:09:23Are you gonna fire me like you'd fire Danny?
01:09:27When all those loser designers got let go, I replaced his staff with my own people.
01:09:32If I go, they go.
01:09:34How will Anya Winters keep its title as number one couture house without a design staff?
01:09:39Shh!
01:09:40You won't keep your spot as number one, as long as you have a fraud like Brynn as your creative director either.
01:09:48Dude, that girl is totally crashing out right now.
01:09:52I'm calling my lawyers.
01:09:54Brynn, this is all your fault!
01:09:56Okay, if you guys all want someone to blame for this, why did you blame Danny?
01:10:00Okay, I didn't even make that stupid dress! She did!
01:10:08I, I didn't, I, I, I didn't, I didn't mean...
01:10:11I think it's finally time to show them who you really are.
01:10:14Brynn's right.
01:10:16I designed the dress.
01:10:18And I'll prove it.
01:10:19So, Lea, will you meet me on stage?
01:10:31Don't!
01:10:33You shouldn't trust that ugly, lying bitch. I mean, look at her!
01:10:38She's gonna drag down your whole image.
01:10:40Image means nothing without substance, without talent.
01:10:44A true fashion genius should know that.
01:10:47Damn.
01:10:49That's deep.
01:10:51I agree.
01:10:52I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:11:14Danny Maxwell, you were a genius.
01:11:21I have never seen something so stunning.
01:11:23I need her to dress me like that.
01:11:25Wait.
01:11:27This means that I fumbled a super talented baddie?
01:11:30Oh, fuck!
01:11:32It's everything I've ever wanted.
01:11:35You saved this night.
01:11:39Holy cow.
01:11:40This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.
01:11:44You're a visionary.
01:11:46And this time...
01:11:48Everyone knows it.
01:11:49So, Lea!
01:11:51Who are you wearing?
01:11:53I'm wearing...
01:11:55Danny Maxwell.
01:11:59For Corset Jean Couture.
01:12:01It can't be.
01:12:03Danny's the superstar designer that I've heard.
01:12:06This is what I've been trying to tell you.
01:12:08Danny is a fashion icon.
01:12:13Ew.
01:12:15You were never the fashion prodigy of my mother's couture brand.
01:12:18You were the brain dead nepo baby idiot she warned me about!
01:12:22What is that strung out deadbeat intern doing at the fucking Met Gala?
01:12:28I thought you fired her.
01:12:30I didn't fire her.
01:12:31Um, I actually promoted her to creative director.
01:12:35You promoted this deadbeat and you fired my star designer?!
01:12:41Um...
01:12:43Yeah, I did.
01:12:45Do you know how hard I've worked?
01:12:47Do you know how much money I spent to get Danny Maxwell in my fashion house?
01:12:52She is the lifeblood of this brand!
01:12:57And what did you do?
01:12:59You fired her?!
01:13:01So, is that Maxwell along?
01:13:06Vanessa?
01:13:08You're fired!
01:13:09Mom, please!
01:13:10Please!
01:13:11You can't!
01:13:12I...
01:13:13I need this!
01:13:14I'm embarrassed to even call you my daughter!
01:13:15When I turned this over to you, my fashion house dominated the entire world of couture!
01:13:20And now look at it!
01:13:21It's a laughingstock!
01:13:23You!
01:13:25You did this!
01:13:27Mom, I'm really sorry!
01:13:28She made me fucked up!
01:13:31How did I fucked up so bad?!
01:13:36Hannah is the chair of the Met Gala, and she personally banned Danny.
01:13:42You would not want a fashion outcast on your team now, would you?
01:13:46You have some nerve telling me what I did or didn't do?
01:13:52You duped us all into thinking you're a fashion icon
01:13:56when you're nothing more than a dirty scammer in a designer dress.
01:14:03Danny Maxwell is officially granted a lifetime invitation to the Met Gala.
01:14:09But you are banned forever.
01:14:14And you're fired too.
01:14:16Security!
01:14:17No!
01:14:18Take her away!
01:14:19No, please!
01:14:20Hand her over to the cops.
01:14:21She needs to pay for her crimes against fashion.
01:14:24No!
01:14:25Please!
01:14:27Danny.
01:14:29Please come back to work for me.
01:14:31You know how much I have done for you.
01:14:34My fashion house can't survive without you.
01:14:37I am begging you.
01:14:40Everything 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.
01:14:47No!
01:14:48She's exaggerating!
01:14:49That's not what happened!
01:14:50It was Brynn!
01:14:51She was scheming to try to steal Danny's job the whole time!
01:14:55That bitch duped me and got me all confused!
01:14:58Seriously?
01:14:59Well that confusion almost cost me my whole fashion career and everything I've worked for.
01:15:04Did it feel good making me take the fall for your stupid mistakes?
01:15:09Danny.
01:15:10I'm so sorry.
01:15:13I'm sorry too.
01:15:15I'm not coming back to Anya Winter Couture.
01:15:17I'm staying where I know I'm appreciated.
01:15:21Where no one's ever questioned my talent, my vision, my style.
01:15:26So please, step aside.
01:15:27Step aside.
01:15:33This is our moment.
01:15:37Then we at Claude St. Jean Couture wish you nothing but the best, Anya.
01:15:48You ruined it!
01:15:49You have ruined everything I've built!
01:15:53I...
01:15:54No!
01:15:57Wow.
01:15:58Really going at you like a bunch of savages, aren't they?
01:16:01Yes.
01:16:02Sorry, are you...
01:16:03Crying?
01:16:05God.
01:16:06You're hot.
01:16:08Have you ever wanted to be the face of a menswear line?
01:16:11Hell yeah!
01:16:14You better not show up at the office tomorrow.
01:16:17I never should have hired you.
01:16:19No.
01:16:22Oh no.
01:16:23I need a job.
01:16:24Vanessa!
01:16:25Vanessa!
01:16:27I'm too hot to be on these streets!
01:16:35Call me.
01:16:37Danny.
01:16:38Why could I ever leave you?
01:16:40We have to take some red carpet pics together.
01:16:42I need all 900 million of my followers to know exactly who made my dress team.
01:16:47Give me five minutes.
01:16:48I knew you'd take back your crown.
01:16:50For believing in me.
01:16:51I always have.
01:16:52And I always will.
01:16:53And I always will.
01:16:54No!
01:16:57No!
01:17:02No!
01:17:04No!
01:17:06I knew you'd take back your crown.
01:17:08For believing in me.
01:17:10I always have.
01:17:11And I always will.
01:17:12Congratulations.
01:17:27You made it to the top.
01:17:29And that's where I'll stay.
