00:00:00Anywhere! The entire Anya Winter-Spring collection is missing hours before the Paris runway show!
00:00:05I should get the courier on the phone!
00:00:07This is a nightmare!
00:00:08Bad news. The delivery truck lost control.
00:00:1330 couture gowns. Destroyed.
00:00:15We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:17No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:00:18This is Anya's biggest collection ever, okay?
00:00:21She worked on it for years!
00:00:23And if she comes back, and we have nothing to show, we're all dead!
00:00:27What other designer besides Anya can make an entire couture collection in just hours?!
00:00:33Don't worry, guys. I can handle it.
00:00:36Didn't she graduate college, like, yesterday?
00:00:39She definitely looks like she just pulled an all-nighter in a library.
00:00:42There's no way some intern who grabs coffee and schedules Anya's lunches can design a whole couture collection overnight.
00:00:47Guys, there's no time to argue! The show is in five hours!
00:00:50What are we gonna do?!
00:00:52Give me that.
00:00:57And this.
00:01:01What is she doing?
00:01:06She's not even using a pattern!
00:01:11I've never seen someone beat so quickly!
00:01:13Invisible stitching, it's immaculate!
00:01:17There you have it.
00:01:19A gown fit for the Anya Winter Spring Couture collection.
00:01:24This is impossible!
00:01:29I thought you were just some delusional intern, but this dress...
00:01:34Most designers could only dream of making something so stunning.
00:01:37This is gonna launch a million dupes, but none of them are gonna come close to the real thing.
00:01:42I heard Anya recently hired a fashion school prodigy who designed the iconic closing look in the fall collection.
00:01:48Is that you?
00:01:50No!
00:01:51It's Jonathan White!
00:01:52Um, Miss Winter, I'm here to...
00:02:04I'm here for the fall internship.
00:02:06It's Anya.
00:02:08Why 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?
00:02:17May I?
00:02:18Sure.
00:02:19I'm so sorry that I ripped the fabric and destroyed the flowers.
00:02:28Sacrifices do need to be made in the interest of good design.
00:02:32Not everybody knows that.
00:02:34An entire team of couture legends and nobody could come up with something this inspired.
00:02:41Forget about the internship.
00:02:43You are gonna be my head designer.
00:02:46There's no time to explain.
00:02:48We need 29 more gowns to make before the show.
00:02:51It's three in the morning.
00:02:52Where are we gonna find fabric for 29 dresses?
00:02:54Take those crystals off the chandelier.
00:02:56And someone cut 20 yards of silk velvet from the curtains.
00:02:59And rip the fringe of the carpet.
00:03:01And the leather from the couch cushions.
00:03:03And I need flowers.
00:03:05Stats!
00:03:08But we're gonna destroy this place!
00:03:10Sacrifices must be made in the interest of good design.
00:03:13Anya will understand.
00:03:18Holy cow.
00:03:19This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.
00:03:20You're a visionary.
00:03:21Now let's kill this fashion show.
00:03:22I'm speechless.
00:03:23I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:25This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:26Dior who?
00:03:27Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:29Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:30I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:31This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:32Dior who?
00:03:33Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:34What?
00:03:35Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:38What?
00:03:39Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:43What?
00:03:44I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:47What?
00:03:48I'm speechless.
00:03:49I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:50This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:51Dior who?
00:03:52Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:54I don't know.
00:04:04You all head back to the studio,
00:04:06I'll grab some champagne for a little bit.
00:04:07Oh my God!
00:04:10I can't believe Danny completed
00:04:11this entire collection overnight.
00:04:13Where'd she even come from?
00:04:14No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.
00:04:17What the hell is going on here?
00:04:24This is disgusting.
00:04:26Is this a design studio or the girls' bathroom of a club?
00:04:30We make groundbreaking pieces with our hands,
00:04:33not our big fat mouths.
00:04:34Jordan, who is this woman?
00:04:36Is she working with you on the PR team?
00:04:37PR?
00:04:38This woman is the daughter of Anya Winter.
00:04:42Vanessa got her degree from central St. Martin's in London
00:04:47and is currently an editor for Vogue.
00:04:50And she'll be acting as CEO
00:04:51while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.
00:04:55Is this really the design team
00:04:56that created the top couture collection
00:04:58in all of Paris Fashion Week?
00:05:00Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of incompetent yappers.
00:05:03If this is about the original collection-
00:05:05I didn't ask you to speak.
00:05:08You're fired.
00:05:09Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.
00:05:14Anya Winter is now the top couture collection
00:05:18in the entire world.
00:05:19Time to separate the fashion icons from the frogs.
00:05:23You think my mother is a hard ass?
00:05:25Just you wait.
00:05:26I expect only the most original, exciting sketches,
00:05:30lightning-fast designs, and perfect technicality.
00:05:35And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:37Who does she think she is, Miranda Priestly?
00:05:40Oh my god.
00:05:46What is this?
00:05:47Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:54No!
00:05:55That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!
00:06:00Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your seams.
00:06:04Jordan, be a doll and go get her a souvenir Eiffel Tower keychain
00:06:09as a thank you for her hard work.
00:06:11Oh yeah, and by the way, you're fired!
00:06:17Okay!
00:06:19Now please, can somebody show me something?
00:06:22A collection?
00:06:23Congratulations!
00:06:27Who are you?
00:06:28You.
00:06:29You.
00:06:30You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:33You're fired.
00:06:36Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:38Danny Maxwell.
00:06:40Jordan, what does this lumpy little girl do here?
00:06:44Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.
00:06:46She's an intern?
00:06:49So what?
00:06:50You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom to throw a rager
00:06:54the night before the biggest couture show in the history of this house?
00:06:58That's not what we...
00:07:00I would say we could take out the damages from your salary,
00:07:03but you're probably not getting paid.
00:07:06Actually, she's our highest paid employee.
00:07:07She's making over $500,000 a year.
00:07:10Jordan!
00:07:11That's...
00:07:12That's confidential.
00:07:13So you're scamming my mother?
00:07:15You know, she might be getting owned, but she's not an idiot.
00:07:18And what?
00:07:20This is how you spend the money?
00:07:22No, no. Look, the team was up all night working.
00:07:25Our hands are cramping.
00:07:26We're tired, but we saved the spring show.
00:07:30Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:07:33Celebrate?
00:07:35By destroying a studio?
00:07:38Lying?
00:07:39Talking back to your superiors?
00:07:41Drinking on the job?
00:07:43No wonder my mother had a heart attack.
00:07:46Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:50Unless, of course, you're just as useless as she is.
00:07:53Or do you actually care about this brand's legacy?
00:07:57Jordan and I have been dating for two years.
00:07:59He knows how hard I work.
00:08:02But there's no way he's going to throw me under the bus.
00:08:04Danny's my girlfriend.
00:08:05If I take her side, I'll be committing career suicide.
00:08:09You're right.
00:08:10Danny's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.
00:08:15Jordan, seriously?
00:08:16What are you still doing here, intern?
00:08:20Pack up your shit and get out of here.
00:08:22If that's how it's going to be.
00:08:23This isn't Danny's fault.
00:08:25She's the one who saved me.
00:08:26Oh, do you want to go with her?
00:08:30If anyone else here helps Danny destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.
00:08:36It's okay, guys.
00:08:38Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:08:40You've all earned your spots.
00:08:42It was my fault.
00:08:47Then leave it.
00:08:51How could you?
00:08:56Be back.
00:08:58Dispose of that piece of shit.
00:09:03Baby!
00:09:04I'm so sorry.
00:09:07We've been together for two years.
00:09:08You couldn't even defend me?
00:09:09She would have fired me on the spot.
00:09:12Look, we both know that I don't have a degree.
00:09:16And it's a miracle that you got me this job.
00:09:20And if I lose it, then...
00:09:23Then who's going to pay for all the expensive champagne that we're going to have
00:09:26at our anniversary dinner tonight?
00:09:29Well, you better spring for caviar, too.
00:09:33You owe me big time, Jordan.
00:09:36I promise I'm going to make it up to you.
00:09:39Let's meet tonight at eight.
00:09:41Okay?
00:09:42Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:09:46I'll see you then.
00:09:46You're frumpy little girlfriend is a recipe for bad press.
00:09:56So are those other big mouth bitches.
00:10:00Not a good look for the PR manager.
00:10:02Today's not my...
00:10:03She better not be.
00:10:08You're hot, you know.
00:10:10My mother wants to start a menswear line.
00:10:13You could be the PR director.
00:10:16What do you prefer?
00:10:17An unemployed fashion flop?
00:10:19Or a rich, powerful boss?
00:10:21Say it.
00:10:26Mommy?
00:10:27What else?
00:10:30What else?
00:10:31Does baby need a change?
00:10:33Baby needs a change.
00:10:34Mm-hmm.
00:10:35Yeah, he does.
00:10:35It's stinky.
00:10:37Stinky son of a...
00:10:39Yes, mother.
00:10:42Mm-hmm.
00:10:45Stupid people.
00:10:47They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:10:51I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:10:57I have stylists breathing down my neck after that marvel of a couture show.
00:11:02I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.
00:11:04Thank God we have her on the team.
00:11:07I know how you can be, Vanessa.
00:11:11You better treat her right.
00:11:14Maxwell?
00:11:16Oh, God.
00:11:17Is that the frumpy intern I just fired?
00:11:19Hello?
00:11:20I'm speaking to you.
00:11:21Yes, mother.
00:11:22One second.
00:11:25Is there any other Maxwell on the design team?
00:11:27Oh, I'm going to stop this at some point.
00:11:33She single-handedly saved my last two shows.
00:11:36A creative genius!
00:11:38I mean, I snatched her up right out of college
00:11:41to make sure those other couture houses couldn't get their hands on her.
00:11:44Without her, this whole house will crumble.
00:11:54Don't worry, mother.
00:11:56I'll treat her like a queen.
00:11:57Queen.
00:11:57You better.
00:11:58And there's another Maxwell.
00:12:02What is her name?
00:12:03Anyway, she is a fucking disaster.
00:12:06A brain-dead nepo baby intern who never shows up.
00:12:09And when she does, she's useless.
00:12:13Do me a favor.
00:12:14Fire her?
00:12:16Thank God.
00:12:17Of course, that tasteless tornado I fired was just a pointless intern.
00:12:21Don't worry, mother.
00:12:22I already handled it.
00:12:27I'll come check on things the second they discharge me from this hellhole.
00:12:33Rest up and I'll take care of everything.
00:12:38I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser.
00:12:42Now, where were we?
00:12:49What the hell do you want?
00:12:51The studio phone's been ringing off the hook.
00:12:53Well, who is it?
00:12:55It's Solea's team.
00:12:57Solea?
00:12:58As in the most famous actress in the world?
00:13:00She needs a dress for the Met Gala.
00:13:02She wants to see sketches for five looks inspired by the new collection.
00:13:07In one hour.
00:13:10Well, let's hope Maxwell can pull this off.
00:13:15Where is Bryn Maxwell?
00:13:16Jordan, get Bryn on the phone and tell her nicely to get her ass here now.
00:13:24What happened?
00:13:32I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection,
00:13:36but I guess it got bigger problems.
00:13:41Dani, the grumpy dumbass.
00:13:44She left her old sketch portfolio.
00:13:46Oh my gosh, these are iconic.
00:13:48No wonder Anya was obsessed with her.
00:13:53I rolled up hungover five hours late after almost ruining the Paris fashion show.
00:14:00I'm definitely getting fired.
00:14:02Where are you?
00:14:03We need five sketches to send to Solea's team for her Met Gala look ASAP.
00:14:07Miss Winter said if you pull this off, you'll be on fast track to becoming creative director.
00:14:13Be right there.
00:14:16Why would they ask me, a brand new intern, to dress the most famous woman in the world?
00:14:21Whatever.
00:14:22I'll use Dani's sketches and no one will know.
00:14:26Oh my gosh, I'm gonna be a star.
00:14:28Well, Bryn's handling it.
00:14:32Nice work.
00:14:34Man, dressed in Solea, that's like, I'm so sick.
00:14:38I know.
00:14:40This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.
00:14:44And as acting CEO of his fashion house, I'll be invited to the best parties with the most rich and famous people.
00:14:51And you can be my D.
00:14:54Unless of course you want to go with Dani.
00:14:58Where is Jordan? He's 20 minutes late.
00:15:03No, I, I don't want her.
00:15:06I was gonna break up with her tonight anyway.
00:15:09I want you.
00:15:11Duh.
00:15:12Mmm, good choice.
00:15:16Guess I'll just drag him here myself.
00:15:18God, you're so powerful, so sexy.
00:15:31It's her anniversary and you're fucking the woman who fired me?
00:15:34She is a fashion superstar, okay? And you're just...
00:15:42An unemployed loser.
00:15:43You spineless dick.
00:15:46You psycho bitch, are you out of your fucking mind?
00:15:48That's it, you cheating piece of...
00:15:50Dani, Dani, you are embarrassing yourself.
00:15:53I'm the embarrassment.
00:15:55Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.
00:15:58And now you're shoving your tongue down your new boss's throat?
00:16:02Know your place, you tacky, talentless sloth.
00:16:07Face it, Dani.
00:16:08You're a fool.
00:16:10And you can't get mad at me for...
00:16:12upgrading.
00:16:13I love to, Jordan.
00:16:19And the only reason you're here is because of that.
00:16:22Because I told Anya to make you PR management.
00:16:24Are you kidding me?
00:16:26More ridiculous lies.
00:16:28You?
00:16:29You're a deadbeat intern.
00:16:30As if my mother would have anything to do with you.
00:16:35We are over.
00:16:43I'm calling security.
00:16:45Why don't you call your mother instead?
00:16:46The founder of this house.
00:16:49She'll tell you that you're making a huge mistake.
00:16:52You know what, enough with the bullshit, Dani.
00:16:54It's cringe.
00:16:55Is this how you got your job here?
00:16:56By spewing insane lies?
00:16:58Hi, security.
00:17:00Yes, there's a delusional ex-employee
00:17:02who's refusing to leave my studio.
00:17:07Oh, Dani.
00:17:08Don't be sad.
00:17:09Look, I get it.
00:17:10I'm powerful, smart, experienced.
00:17:16And you?
00:17:18Well, you're jobless, talentless, and irrelevant.
00:17:22Look, if I were you,
00:17:24I would go on home and drown your sorrows in a bottle of cheap champagne.
00:17:29Unless, of course, you'd rather spend your last night in Paris in a jail cell.
00:17:31Fine.
00:17:34I'm done here anyway.
00:17:35And where do you think you're going, Dani?
00:17:41Guards!
00:17:42She's over here.
00:17:46Who the hell are you?
00:17:47I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture Collection.
00:17:50Brynn Maxwell.
00:17:52Oh, wow.
00:17:55Well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.
00:17:58Oh, is that an archival saloon bag?
00:18:03Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.
00:18:06It's no wonder you created such a groundbreaking collection.
00:18:09These dumbasses don't even know that I'm totally jacking Dani's glory.
00:18:13Who cares?
00:18:14As long as Anya's daughter thinks I'm a genius,
00:18:16I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.
00:18:19Vanessa,
00:18:21Ana who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring Collection.
00:18:27She's the one that made the routing error that caused the truck to crash.
00:18:30She's obviously trying to sabotage the brand.
00:18:33What?
00:18:41Dani's done it again.
00:18:43You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?
00:18:45Dani Maxwell?
00:18:47She was just fired from Anya Winter's Fashion House.
00:18:49The show's a hit. How is that possible?
00:18:51Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.
00:18:54Of course.
00:18:57I would love to see the look on Anya Winter's face when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of
00:19:00a daughter fired her star designer.
00:19:04Call Dani up. Let's get her here.
00:19:05But Anya Winter's is the number one fashion house in the world.
00:19:08We're not even ranked top ten.
00:19:09Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Dani's door already.
00:19:13You really think she would work for us?
00:19:14I'll do anything to get Dani on this team.
00:19:15Rumor has it Solea's looking for a new designer for her Met Gala look.
00:19:20And if we can dress the most famous woman on the planet on the biggest night in fashion,
00:19:24we'll be the new brand on top.
00:19:29Get the jet ready. I'm going to Paris.
00:19:32And I'm not leaving without Dani Maxwell.
00:19:34Sabotage? Are you kidding me?
00:19:38You can take the fall from my stupid mistake, Dani.
00:19:42Who will believe you over me?
00:19:44You were out partying all night when you should have been confirming the route with the courier.
00:19:47And you destroyed my mother's studio on your drunken bender.
00:19:51You all see me as some incompetent intern just because I'm not wearing the latest off-the-runway clothes.
00:19:56Maybe daddy's black card can buy you Celine, but can it buy you talent too?
00:20:00You think I caused that disaster? You think she is your savior?
00:20:06Well then best of luck when Anya comes back and sees what a mess you've made.
00:20:09This is your mess, Dani Maxwell.
00:20:12I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate BS.
00:20:17Don't touch me.
00:20:19Jordan, don't let them do this. We both know you're not capable of handling the outcome.
00:20:22First you threaten Brynn, and then you threaten me.
00:20:27You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Dani.
00:20:30You know, jealousy looks hideous on you.
00:20:33So why don't you go ahead and pick up your mistakes and get the fuck out before you get locked up.
00:20:39What can they even arrest me for?
00:20:41Let's see, vandalism, insubordination, and that sweater is definitely a crime against fashion.
00:20:48Don't you know that I can end your entire fashion career with one phone call to my mother?
00:20:52Then go ahead. Do it.
00:20:58If Vanessa calls Anya, she'll find out that Dani's the real star designer.
00:21:03Vanessa, your mom's in recovery.
00:21:06Shouldn't you go to the fashion council first instead?
00:21:09To make sure another fashion house isn't infected with Dani's terrible taste?
00:21:13Brynn's right. You should go right to the source.
00:21:15Do not let her get away with this.
00:21:18I have all my mother's industry contacts at my fingertips.
00:21:22I'm texting the fashion council now.
00:21:24Dani Maxwell is blacklisted from Anya Winter.
00:21:28Other designers, beware of this dangerous scammer.
00:21:33No other fashion house will want you now.
00:21:35Good luck getting a part-time job at Forever 21.
00:21:38Guess that's that then.
00:21:40But before I go, I have one question for you, Vanessa.
00:21:44Does Anya, the CEO and creator of this fashion house know that you fired me?
00:21:49A kind of idiot do you think I am, Dani?
00:21:53My mother practically begged me to fire your incompetent ass.
00:21:56You thought you could roll up here in your bargain bin sweater and call yourself a fashion icon?
00:22:00Your career is so awful.
00:22:04Hey, uh, security, can you take her away and throw her to something?
00:22:08Jail cell, police, whatever.
00:22:11Get your hands off of her.
00:22:12That is my new creative director.
00:22:19Dani Maxwell will join Claude Saint-Jean Fashion House.
00:22:23Claude Saint-Jean of Saint-Jean Couture?
00:22:26You came all the way from New York for me?
00:22:28Of course.
00:22:30I flew straight here.
00:22:34Nice to see you again, Dani.
00:22:36I haven't seen you since I interned at Valentino my freshman year.
00:22:39Wait, you went to Valentino with him?
00:22:44How'd you get that job, Dani?
00:22:46You scammed your way into that one too?
00:22:49God, Dani, we went out and I had no idea that you were such a grifter.
00:22:54I feel so, so used.
00:22:59So this is how Anya Winter treats their most talented designers.
00:23:02You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.
00:23:05Claude, I...
00:23:06That is Mr. Saint-Jean to you.
00:23:07And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.
00:23:11Yeah, what are you, a mid-level PR pawn?
00:23:14You should probably know when to shut the hell up.
00:23:15Mr. Saint-Jean, Dani here has done irreparable damage and...
00:23:20Sorry, who the hell are you?
00:23:21Obviously I.
00:23:22I'm right. I don't have time for your rambling.
00:23:24Hey, enough!
00:23:26This idiot destroyed my mother's collection,
00:23:29wrecked her entire Paris fashion studio, ruined the entire couture show,
00:23:33almost lost us millions.
00:23:35And why are we still talking about her?
00:23:37Did you not ask your mother who Dani was before you fired her?
00:23:43What kind of idiot do you think I am?
00:23:46My mother runs this fashion house with an iron fist.
00:23:50Of course I consulted her and you know what she said?
00:23:53She said that this idiot Dani is a Nepo baby intern who scammed her way into the job.
00:23:59Brain dead.
00:24:01Anya actually said this.
00:24:02And a useless disaster.
00:24:04She quite literally said to me, do me a favor and fire this bitch.
00:24:08Anya practically begged me to work for her.
00:24:11She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.
00:24:13Okay, we all know Anya, okay?
00:24:15And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything.
00:24:18Especially to work with a deadweight intern.
00:24:21Then why are you still here?
00:24:23What you little-
00:24:24Oh, don't even try it.
00:24:27Dani, will you come with me and be my new creative director of Saint John Couture?
00:24:31God, I don't know.
00:24:32Hey, whatever you are making, I will double it.
00:24:34Okay, her salary is 500k.
00:24:37She's literally robbing us blind.
00:24:40A millionaire is there?
00:24:40Please, a million dollar salary?
00:24:47Your fashion house doesn't even rank in the top 10.
00:24:49Are you clinically insane?
00:24:52You're an even bigger bullshitter than Dani.
00:24:55A million dollars for a talentless intern.
00:24:59Way to dig your own grave.
00:25:01I thought I told you to shut up.
00:25:04Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
00:25:07Seriously, but it's not about the money.
00:25:10Dani, if you join my fashion house, the title of creative director will be yours.
00:25:16Creative control over the next season's couture collection will be yours.
00:25:19My designers, my studio, my full trust.
00:25:24And now if you want me, I'm even yours too.
00:25:28Oh, Claude.
00:25:30Okay, look, I get it.
00:25:32You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand, and I respect you for that.
00:25:37So let me remind you that Dani is a lazy scam artist.
00:25:41Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.
00:25:45In that case...
00:25:52Okay.
00:25:53What is all this shit?
00:25:54This shit is everything that your mother gifted me.
00:25:57Her one and only key to her personal studio.
00:26:00The business black card in my name, which I could have used to repair the damages, but...
00:26:04I guess that's not my concern anymore.
00:26:06You can tell Anya that I, Dani Maxwell, am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house
00:26:13and never, ever come back.
00:26:16Oh, so sad for us.
00:26:20Not.
00:26:21You did not deserve any special treatment, Dani.
00:26:24I mean, just look at you.
00:26:26Your complete fashion flop.
00:26:28You know, you are all so wrapped up in beauty standards and bullshit that you can't even see
00:26:32the design talent that is right in front of you.
00:26:36Dani, it is true.
00:26:38We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter for the number one title spot.
00:26:41Then I'm going to change that.
00:26:43I'll join as creative director.
00:26:46And by this time, next season's runway show, Saint Jean Couture will be number one.
00:26:55You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Dani.
00:26:58Losing your spot at the number one fashion house to go and work for this desperate up-and-comer.
00:27:06Although, who else would hire you?
00:27:08Embarrassed for her.
00:27:10You know, Vanessa's going to burn this place to the ground,
00:27:12and you are going to be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.
00:27:16And something tells me you're not qualified for that, are you?
00:27:20Qualified?
00:27:20And what exactly are you qualified for?
00:27:23Propositioning idiotic interns to go out and peddle up your hideous designs to some micro-influencers?
00:27:31What?
00:27:36I did.
00:27:36She did.
00:27:42She will.
00:27:44Who is that?
00:27:44That was Solea's team.
00:27:47They've asked for five sketches from Dani for her Met Gala look.
00:27:50What was that about micro-influencers?
00:27:54If I'm not mistaken, she has more followers than anyone in the world?
00:27:59Absolutely not.
00:28:00Brynn is supposed to design Solea's gown.
00:28:03Brynn?
00:28:03I guess we got ourselves some competition.
00:28:07This isn't a competition.
00:28:09It's an all-out fashion war.
00:28:11Well, I hope you're ready to die on the battlefield.
00:28:14Let's go, Dani.
00:28:15Gladly.
00:28:15I'm losing brain cells talking to these people.
00:28:18May the best designer win.
00:28:23Don't worry about her, Vanessa.
00:28:25Just send these to Solea's teams and there's no way she won't pick us.
00:28:29I'll be Dani with her own designs.
00:28:34Oh my god, Brynn, these are incredible.
00:28:38Between these and the spring couture collection, you've really proven yourself.
00:28:44I'm officially naming you as creative director of Ani Winter Couture.
00:28:49This is a dream come true.
00:28:54And don't forget about me in the face of the menswear line.
00:29:01Right.
00:29:02One step at a time.
00:29:04Stick with me and you'll be very satisfied.
00:29:09Every designer will be gunning for our spot as top couture collection in the world.
00:29:14That's why we need to dress Solea at the Met Gala.
00:29:17That no one can touch us.
00:29:20Not even Claude and that hack Dani.
00:29:22I won't lay you down, Vanessa.
00:29:24Now, walk me through how you designed the couture collection in four hours.
00:29:29How did I do it?
00:29:33Oh god, I can't design for crap.
00:29:35I have no idea how Dani pulled that off.
00:29:38What the hell am I going to tell her?
00:29:41I used a highly specialized sewing technique that I learned in my final year of fashion school.
00:29:48The details are really boring.
00:29:49I could show you later.
00:29:51Of course.
00:29:52You have your own technique.
00:29:53You are the creative genius.
00:29:55I mean, these are already Met Gala worthy.
00:29:57If you can bring them to life half as well as you did the spring collection,
00:30:01you have nothing to worry about.
00:30:02Nothing at all.
00:30:03I am now the creative director of the number one fashion house in the world.
00:30:10Step aside, Dani.
00:30:11I'm the new couture queen now.
00:30:13What do you want?
00:30:18Anya, it's Claude Saint-Jean.
00:30:21Listen, I'm just calling to let you know that we are officially in the running to dress
00:30:24Hilaire at her Met Gala.
00:30:25What?
00:30:26We are the number one couture house in the world right now.
00:30:32Why would she want you to dress her as if some young, arrogant, dumbass could...
00:30:36Listen, I'm not calling to discuss this.
00:30:38I'm just simply letting you know.
00:30:43Cheers.
00:30:46What the hell is that rat up to?
00:30:49He knows I have a design prodigy at my right hand.
00:30:53Why would he think anybody could beat a superstar like Dani?
00:31:02Unless...
00:31:05Mother, you'll never believe the sketches I got from...
00:31:08Tell me you didn't fire my most talented designer!
00:31:14Calm down, mother, or else you'll have another heart attack.
00:31:17Like I told you already, I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.
00:31:22Why the hell is Claude Saint-Jean competing with us for the Met Gala partnership?
00:31:28Well, I just figured it was pointless to talk him out of it,
00:31:31when he's obviously going to crash and burn along with that talentless intern.
00:31:35They'll design something cheap and tacky for Solea.
00:31:39And then she'll tell everybody she knows not to touch Saint-Jean couture with a 10-foot pole.
00:31:45And then their sad little fashion careers, they'll be over it before they even started.
00:31:50So you gas-lit Claude into hiring our cast-off?
00:31:55Sure did.
00:31:56He's convinced that the talentless Nepo baby is the creative genius behind our spring line.
00:32:02That's brilliant!
00:32:05And I thought you're a weak little pushover like your father, but...
00:32:08Hmm, maybe you're more like me than I knew.
00:32:11Vanessa, I want you to take full control over the Met Gala partnership with Solea.
00:32:17Oh, thank you. No more talking.
00:32:21It's time to get to work, and we need to make damn sure Solea picks our gown for the gala.
00:32:27We are going to make Claude Saint-Jean the laughing stock of the fashion industry.
00:32:33Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.
00:32:39Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.
00:32:42Are you sure she can handle this?
00:32:43Did I ask your opinion?
00:32:46My daughter can't fuck this up.
00:32:48Not with Danny Maxwell designing the gown for Solea.
00:32:52Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude Saint-Jean to hire our strung-out sad sack of an intern?
00:33:01I get to sit back and watch Danny work her magic for Solea's gown while that hack of a talent
00:33:09completely tanks what's left of Claude's fashion house.
00:33:22So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?
00:33:26It's insane what you've accomplished.
00:33:31I mean, four years ago you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino, and now look at you.
00:33:36Your own couture line.
00:33:39It's everything you ever wanted.
00:33:40Not everything.
00:33:44Well, what about you, Danny?
00:33:45I mean, when I met you, you were a quiet little intern, and now you're a fashion genius.
00:33:50I'm serious. I mean, that work you did on that spring collection, it was... it was inspiring.
00:34:02Yes.
00:34:06Of course.
00:34:08We'll be there.
00:34:11Solea loved your Metcala sketches, huh?
00:34:14She chose her favorite from you and Brayden and she wants you both to show her a sample.
00:34:17Oh my god, when?
00:34:21Tomorrow afternoon.
00:34:22You have 24 hours to make this dress for Solea.
00:34:25Better get started.
00:34:28I mean, we just got back from New York and I...
00:34:29You created an entire couture collection in what?
00:34:33Four hours?
00:34:34This should be a breeze, right?
00:34:35Right. I can totally pull this off.
00:34:39Then do it.
00:34:40Now!
00:34:40You think you can pull off creating a Metcala gown for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?
00:34:48Who do you think you're talking to?
00:34:50Well, whatever it is, it just needs to be better than this.
00:34:53This is our competition.
00:34:56That's my sketch!
00:34:59That fraud print's been stealing my designs.
00:35:01Of course.
00:35:07She has no real talent of her own.
00:35:13Damn.
00:35:13That dress is insane.
00:35:16A skirt made of stained glass?
00:35:19Insane is right.
00:35:20It's gonna be nearly impossible to sew a bodice that could support the weight of the skirt.
00:35:25If Solea puts on this gown, it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:35:29Prim wants to be a fashion icon so bad.
00:35:32How will she pull us off?
00:35:34Then it's an easy win, right?
00:35:36We just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.
00:35:38Not exactly.
00:35:41I'm gonna make the same exact dress, only better.
00:35:45Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.
00:35:48But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.
00:35:50I said nearly impossible.
00:35:58Bryn can try to rip off my designs all she wants.
00:36:02But without the brains or skills to back it up, there's no way she's gonna pull it off.
00:36:07And if she tries, that gown is gonna fall apart faster than you can say fashion victim.
00:36:12Let's remember this day, the last day that Claude Sejourn Couture will be at the bottom of the fashion food chains.
00:36:24By this time tomorrow, we'll be the new rulers of the Couture Kingdom.
00:36:32What the hell is this?
00:36:34Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress to the bottom of the dress?
00:36:37Oh my god.
00:36:39Bryn, the skirt is too heavy.
00:36:41Oh no excuses!
00:36:42We have four hours to make a dress for Solea.
00:36:52Gosh, I wish I was getting trash out of a club right now.
00:36:54Bryn!
00:36:56How's everything going?
00:36:57Great!
00:36:58I just dropped my scissors.
00:37:00We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:37:03Phone call.
00:37:05I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:37:07Now!
00:37:08Don't worry mother, I have everything under control.
00:37:11That clown Claude and that fraud designer are going down.
00:37:17You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:37:19Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:37:21Keep it up.
00:37:24There might be another promotion in your future.
00:37:31If I can pull this off, I'll go down in fashion history.
00:37:35Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:37:53Denny.
00:37:54Denny.
00:37:56Wake up.
00:37:57Come on.
00:37:58Let's get you to bed.
00:38:20Good morning, superstar.
00:38:22This is it.
00:38:36The gown that can make or break me.
00:38:37You should be proud, Denny.
00:38:48It's exceptional.
00:38:50Just like you.
00:38:52Thanks, I...
00:38:53I could have done it without you.
00:39:03Oh god.
00:39:05I need to change what I'm wearing to meet the most famous woman in the world.
00:39:08Don't worry about it.
00:39:10I had my editor friend Marco pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.
00:39:15Pick anything you like.
00:39:16See you at the meeting.
00:39:33Gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:39:36What am I going to do?
00:39:38Brynn!
00:39:39That better be the best dress you've ever made.
00:39:48Let's go.
00:39:52Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:39:55We're gonna get that Met Gala partnership.
00:39:57In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:39:58Where's your top secret weapon?
00:40:01She'll be here soon.
00:40:02She'll make a big impression on Saleya.
00:40:04Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:40:09I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:40:13Her talent speaks for itself.
00:40:15Yeah, and it also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.
00:40:22I just have to find a way to switch mine and Denny's garment bags when no one's looking.
00:40:26It's not like Saleya would even trust that unstylish little piece of...
00:40:39Denny.
00:40:41You look stunning.
00:40:43Thanks.
00:40:46Speechless.
00:40:48Is that a first?
00:40:49Are those that...
00:40:50One of a kind Anya Winter Fall Couture books?
00:40:53Yes, I am.
00:40:56Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:40:58She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:40:59They were a gift for designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:41:03What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:41:06Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern,
00:41:09but taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:12That's a whole new low.
00:41:14Taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:17Friend, I know a thing or two about that.
00:41:20Watch, he gives...
00:41:21Careful now.
00:41:23You think you're some design protege, Denny?
00:41:25This, give me that, this is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.
00:41:33If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's going to see that I'm a total fraud.
00:41:40Saleya will see you now.
00:41:42Designers only.
00:41:43For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.
00:41:48Hey.
00:41:51You've got this.
00:41:52There's no way she's not going to pick you.
00:41:55Everything is riding on this Met Gala partnership.
00:42:01Don't fuck it up.
00:42:03I won't let you down.
00:42:07Saleya is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.
00:42:10You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.
00:42:12Just don't touch anything.
00:42:17The dress you made?
00:42:19Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design or is it stolen?
00:42:25I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:27You mean, you didn't steal my portfolio and pass off my sketches as yours so you could dress the
00:42:34most famous woman in the world for the Met Gala?
00:42:36Tell me Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle?
00:42:41That dress you designed is beautiful but very, very complicated.
00:42:50How did you manage to pull that off?
00:42:51We'll just see.
00:42:54Won't we?
00:42:54Yes, we will.
00:43:05Ugh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:07If I don't do something fast, everyone's going to find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:22I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame and I'm not letting Dani that disaster take it from me.
00:43:39Bye-bye Dani.
00:43:45So Leia's arriving now.
00:43:47No photos, no sucking up, and no touching.
00:43:50Unless she touches you.
00:43:51Got it?
00:43:52Got it.
00:44:01So Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:44:03It's so nice to meet you.
00:44:05Where's the other one?
00:44:07She must be running a little bit late.
00:44:09I hate people who waste my time.
00:44:11I think she saw my gown and she felt inadequate.
00:44:14Let's see it then.
00:44:27Bryn knocked me out and stole my dress.
00:44:38I knew she was a snake but I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:44:44The sample preview is starting now and I have nothing to show.
00:44:48Or maybe I did.
00:44:59I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:45:06Sorry fam, it's my Pisces moon.
00:45:09This is like the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:13I feel connected to it on like a cosmic level.
00:45:16I must wear this dress.
00:45:18I knew you would love it.
00:45:20But what about the other designer?
00:45:22She might.
00:45:22She's late.
00:45:23I'll give her three seconds.
00:45:25If she doesn't show up then I've made my choice.
00:45:27Three, two, one.
00:45:29Wait!
00:45:32I'm so sorry I'm late, So Leia.
00:45:33I had a little bump in the rug.
00:45:38I suppose I can forgive you.
00:45:40Mercury is in retrograde.
00:45:43Nice gown Bryn.
00:45:44I wish I could say the same Dani, but...
00:45:48Your stinks.
00:45:50Gee, I wonder why that is.
00:45:54This dress is so trippy.
00:45:57My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.
00:46:01Okay, but you're not like crying.
00:46:02I mean like mine is still better.
00:46:06Right?
00:46:08I wouldn't say that.
00:46:09What?
00:46:11Isn't that crazy?
00:46:13That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and So Leia still likes my design better?
00:46:20How much longer can you keep up this shrink?
00:46:22I must know.
00:46:24What was your inspiration?
00:46:26I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and...
00:46:32You get the trash and make a treasure.
00:46:36Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.
00:46:40Or like a rat from a dumpster.
00:46:42I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.
00:46:47Dani, I feel like you really get me.
00:46:49You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:46:52Oh, okay.
00:46:53Well, what about my vision?
00:46:55What about my art?
00:46:57Brynn's right.
00:46:59She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:47:03Brynn, tell us how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:47:10Crap, I have no idea how Dani made this.
00:47:15What do I say?
00:47:16How did I do it?
00:47:18Um, you're not gatekeeping your creative process from So Leia, are you?
00:47:26If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala,
00:47:30doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:47:34It's true.
00:47:35So Leia doesn't like gatekeepers.
00:47:38It's a simple question, Brynn.
00:47:40If you can't answer it, then like, did you really even make the dress?
00:47:43I think the real question here is why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:47:51Clearly, she's trying to steal my technique because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:47:55Okay, this taped together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:47:59It's an elementary school art project.
00:48:02So Leia, you cannot wear Dani's dress.
00:48:04I mean, look at it.
00:48:05It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:48:08Besides, it's made out of New York street trash.
00:48:13She's right.
00:48:14It does kind of have like a fishy smell to it.
00:48:18Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:48:22Well, obviously this is just a sample.
00:48:24The real dress would not be-
00:48:25Okay, but my sample is pristine.
00:48:28I mean, So Leia, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway, but Dani's?
00:48:34Dani's is probably made out of disease, rat feces, and meat juice.
00:48:40Oh god, you know I'm a die-hard vegan.
00:48:46I've made my decision.
00:48:48The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...
00:48:53Brin's.
00:48:53I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala.
00:48:59It's too big of a risk, even for me.
00:49:02Oh, I'm sorry Dani, but it's easier to go back to trash when you are trash.
00:49:09But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:49:14Brin, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:49:16Like, like right now?
00:49:20You made this dress in 24 hours.
00:49:22Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:49:24Once So Leia sees Brin for the fraud she is, she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:49:30Yeah.
00:49:31Brin, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?
00:49:35Now.
00:49:36I really work better alone.
00:49:45Not today you don't.
00:49:46Do you want me to wear your dress to the Met Gala or not?
00:49:49This is it.
00:49:51This is it.
00:49:53The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.
00:49:56The moment my talents will finally be recognized.
00:49:59So Leia, Hannah Summer, the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine is here to see you.
00:50:06Oh my god, and she's the chair of the Met Gala board.
00:50:09She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:50:11Maybe they're going to do a feature.
00:50:12Oh my god, she's coming up here right now.
00:50:19Wait, you're not Hannah.
00:50:22Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.
00:50:25I'm her personal assistant, here to deliver a message.
00:50:30On Anya Winter's suggestion and by the Fashion Council's orders,
00:50:34Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry and banned from the Met Gala for life.
00:50:43Banned? What the hell for?
00:50:45Insubordination, sabotage amounting to millions of dollars in potential losses,
00:50:51a general lack of personal style.
00:50:55Those aren't just faceless lies.
00:50:57I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.
00:51:01How dare you come into Soleia's personal studio,
00:51:04waste her precious time knowing you are hated by literally everyone in the fashion industry.
00:51:09Are you trying to tank her career?
00:51:13This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:51:16This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:51:18Get her out of here. Now.
00:51:25Congratulations.
00:51:26I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:51:30And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:51:33Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:51:38Hey, get your hands off of me right now.
00:51:42You okay?
00:51:44Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:51:46Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life too.
00:51:48Banned?
00:51:50By who?
00:51:51Hannah Summer herself.
00:51:54The editor-in-chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny.
00:52:00This is the best day of my life.
00:52:02Mine too.
00:52:03Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:52:06Okay.
00:52:09I am the real hero here.
00:52:11I mean, Soleia's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.
00:52:14And Danny here is going to get herself a little job at McDonald's.
00:52:18The fashion world is not going to miss you.
00:52:20I've given everything for this fashion house.
00:52:24And how do you repay me?
00:52:26By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:52:29Not everyone.
00:52:32Let's go, Danny.
00:52:36I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:52:46Who believe it?
00:52:47Look at our latest post.
00:52:49Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:52:52I'll be giving the designer a very special shout out on stage after my exclusive performance.
00:53:00That's my dress.
00:53:01That should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:53:03Now, Bryn and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:53:06They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:53:10They're everything that you're not.
00:53:14You deserve to be on that stage.
00:53:16And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:53:21I know what I have to do.
00:53:22I'm going to sneak into the Met Gala.
00:53:29Hell yes, you are.
00:53:31I'm sneaking into the Met Gala tomorrow.
00:53:33I have work to do.
00:53:34Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:36Let me handle that.
00:53:37Now, let's drink.
00:53:38Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:53:45Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:53:46Mm-hmm.
00:53:48But it will.
00:53:54You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:53:57Didn't they used to call you One Cup Club?
00:53:59Oh.
00:54:02You're tall, but you're quite the length.
00:54:05I'm hurt, Danny.
00:54:06Okay.
00:54:07And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.
00:54:28You were lightweight.
00:54:29Speak for yourself.
00:54:34Let's get you to bed.
00:54:36I need to wash the same thing.
00:54:38I need to wash the same thing.
00:54:38Seriously.
00:54:39I'm not kidding.
00:54:39Oh.
00:54:44Oh, Lord.
00:54:51I suddenly feel very sober.
00:54:54Me too.
00:55:06What do you think?
00:55:19I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:55:23But what's it for?
00:55:24What's it for?
00:55:25This?
00:55:27Yeah.
00:55:28This is your party-crashing uniform.
00:55:31Marco's gonna meet you on the side entrance of the gala.
00:55:35I owe you both my life.
00:55:36Hmm.
00:55:37I just want to make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she deserves.
00:55:43I'll meet you there.
00:55:48Where are you going?
00:55:50I am bringing Anya Winter out of the hospital.
00:55:54When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house and sent a fraud to the biggest event in fashion history,
00:56:00it's gonna be over for her and Brynn.
00:56:05For everything.
00:56:10I'll meet you there.
00:56:18Good luck.
00:56:19We're here at fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala, where everyone, who is anyone,
00:56:36has gathered in New York City to celebrate the best of fashion.
00:56:43Oh, my God.
00:56:43So, Leia!
00:56:45Darling, how are you?
00:56:46Oh, my God. I am freaking out right now.
00:56:49I mean, this gown.
00:56:53Anyway, best dress of the night, hands down.
00:56:58Now, tell me, who made this incredible creation?
00:57:02I'm actually not revealing who made it yet, but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.
00:57:07Cryptid. I love it.
00:57:09Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.
00:57:12You know, that spring collection that you did was just like, whoa.
00:57:19You know?
00:57:20Yeah, I'm kind of like,
00:57:25a genius.
00:57:32Brynn got me banned from the Met Gala, but I made it in.
00:57:35And soon she'll be exposed for fraud as she is.
00:57:38How did that slut get in here?
00:57:40She's going to ruin everything.
00:57:44Champagne Brynn?
00:57:46You cannot be here.
00:57:48You competed against me to dress Solea, the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala, and you lost.
00:57:55Okay, tonight is my special night, and I cannot have you ruining it.
00:57:59I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.
00:58:01I'm the guest of honor.
00:58:03After all the blood, sweat, and tears I put into making that gown,
00:58:07she stole it from me and dragged my name through the mud.
00:58:10Brynn, why are you so obsessed with taking credit for my work?
00:58:14I do not have to answer.
00:58:17Face it, Dani, I have one respect of everyone who matters in the fashion industry.
00:58:23I'm going to be up there next to Solea on that stage, basking in all your glory.
00:58:28And you, you will still be a no one.
00:58:34You come in here dressed up like a servant expecting me to do what?
00:58:37Fall out your feet and go, oh, I'm so sorry, Dani.
00:58:40You are so smart and so talented.
00:58:42It's never going to happen.
00:58:45I am rubbing elbows with the hottest, most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:58:50I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala, and you can't touch me now.
00:58:56And who exactly designed the gown your way?
00:59:02Certainly not you, if that's what you're implying.
00:59:07Do you know how much effort was put into making that spring collection?
00:59:10Do you know how hard those designers worked that you fired to save that show?
00:59:20You think Brynn is the one responsible for saving the day?
00:59:24Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?
00:59:27Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?
00:59:30And what have you done to prove yourself? Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?
00:59:36You know, the servant suit really fits you, Dani. I think you, uh, found your true calling.
00:59:42Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?
00:59:46You know, we dated for two years, and I never asked you for a thing.
00:59:52But the minute Vanessa offers you 15 minutes of fame, you drop me without a thought.
00:59:58What will you do once she's used you up and left you in the dust?
01:00:02You have no idea what you're talking about.
01:00:04Yeah. Jealousy is a disease, Dani.
01:00:13Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
01:00:19You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
01:00:22Are you really so desperate to steal my glory that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
01:00:27You must be psychotic.
01:00:30Really? And what's the word for stealing another designer's work and using it for clout?
01:00:42Claude, did you come here to fall at my feet and beg me for a job now that my fashion house
01:00:52officially has the Met Gala partnership and yours?
01:00:55Yours is dead in the water.
01:00:59I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now, don't you?
01:01:02Not as much as you're going to regret putting your daughter in charge.
01:01:06Excuse me?
01:01:09Look,
01:01:12I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:01:18But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
01:01:22There's something you should see.
01:01:25There's something you should see.
01:01:28Bitch! My star designer worked her fingers to the bone to make that dress for Saleya.
01:01:33Don't you dare try to take credit for her creative genius.
01:01:40Mmm, very soft. But if she worked her fingers to the bone, then wear the calces.
01:01:45Ah! How dare you assault me.
01:01:48Leave. Now.
01:01:49Or what?
01:01:51So entitled.
01:01:53You know, you should be grateful to my mother for even allowing you to step foot into her historic couture house.
01:01:59I never said I wasn't. Your mother is one of the best designers in the world and she took a chance on me.
01:02:06I've always been grateful to her.
01:02:09Grateful?
01:02:10You've tarnished her name and reputation and now you're trying to sabotage the biggest night in the history of this fashion house.
01:02:16Just like you tried to sabotage the spring couture show.
01:02:24I'm the one that saved that collection.
01:02:26Enough!
01:02:35God, you are so embarrassing, Dani.
01:02:39You know, breaking up with you was the best decision that I ever made.
01:02:43You did need the favor, really.
01:02:45Thank you so much for saving me from a lifetime of disappointment.
01:02:50Disappointment?
01:02:52If 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?
01:03:02This disturbed employee is trying to ruin my couture.
01:03:06And she put her filthy hands on me.
01:03:10Solea is about to announce Brynn as the designer of her gown and you will not ruin this moment.
01:03:15No, no, no.
01:03:20Get your hands off of her.
01:03:25Vanessa, what the hell have you done with my fashion house?
01:03:33Nothing, Mom.
01:03:33I fired Dani just like you asked.
01:03:35You what?
01:03:36I don't understand.
01:03:44Is it a mistake?
01:03:45A mistake?
01:03:46A mistake?
01:03:51Oh my god, Mom, are you okay?
01:03:53I...
01:03:54I just need a minute.
01:03:55Okay.
01:03:58Anya, are you okay?
01:04:00Oh Dani, I'm fine.
01:04:03I...
01:04:03There's something I need to say.
01:04:06I can't let that old slut blow my cover.
01:04:09No, she shouldn't speak.
01:04:11She could have another heart attack.
01:04:14Security, get her out of here.
01:04:18I'm okay, I'm fine.
01:04:20Don't touch her, you're making it worse.
01:04:21Don't listen to anything this worthless server has to say.
01:04:24Take my mother somewhere quieter.
01:04:27I'm fine.
01:04:28I'll be right there.
01:04:30Dani!
01:04:30Hey, I said hands off.
01:04:33Unless you want to be cut it off, please.
01:04:37What the hell was that about?
01:04:42I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the reveal of the designer I've chosen to partner with.
01:04:50Bryn Maxwell, will you join me on stage?
01:04:54Oh my god, she had a wardrobe malfunction.
01:04:56Brick the fuck for me.
01:04:59Come on.
01:05:01What the fuck happened?
01:05:02I told you not to fuck it out.
01:05:03I don't know.
01:05:04I don't know.
01:05:06What are you looking at me for?
01:05:07You're the designer of the dress.
01:05:11She wants to be a star designer, so let's see if she has the skills to throw it off.
01:05:15Oh, someone needs to fix this now.
01:05:19Danny, Danny, if that dress splits anymore, this will be a major PR nightmare.
01:05:25I know you can do it.
01:05:26So please, you go ahead and fix the dress.
01:05:30Why would I be able to help?
01:05:32I mean, Bryn's the one that designed the dress.
01:05:34Did you fall and smack your little head on the sidewalk?
01:05:40No.
01:05:40Danny is a Nepo baby intern who knows nothing.
01:05:43And Bryn is the creative genius, remember?
01:05:47Yes.
01:05:47Right?
01:05:48Right.
01:05:49I totally know what I'm doing.
01:05:52Mm-hmm.
01:05:53Danny is just a frumpy little service worker who wants to play dress up.
01:05:57Mm-hmm.
01:05:57Thanks, Danny.
01:06:03I knew you were useless that God brings here.
01:06:06I can do this.
01:06:08How hard can it be to fix a one-of-a-kind couture gown?
01:06:15I put my heart and soul into a dress so I will be proud to wear at the Met Gala.
01:06:19And you built your couture house from the ground up and made so many sacrifices to hire me.
01:06:24I can't let Bryn ruin it all.
01:06:29I have to show Solea what I can do.
01:06:32So go show them who you are.
01:06:35Prove to Solea that you are the genius behind that dress.
01:06:43Bryn, the seams are delicate.
01:06:46The stitch has to be.
01:06:47Shut up!
01:06:48You're ruining her concentration.
01:06:49Um, aren't you the girl who was like,
01:06:51banned from the Met Gala for life?
01:06:54Yeah, she is.
01:06:55She shouldn't even be here right now.
01:06:57I shouldn't be here?
01:06:58Look at the way Bryn's holding that needle.
01:07:00How much longer can you keep up?
01:07:02Just step aside and let me.
01:07:07Okay, somebody has to call Hannah Summer.
01:07:09The chair of the Gala will know how to handle this dirty little party crasher.
01:07:16What now?
01:07:17We have a security situation.
01:07:19Party crasher on the Gala floor.
01:07:21Someone named Danny Maxwell.
01:07:24Danny?
01:07:25Anya's star designer?
01:07:30I'm fine.
01:07:31I am not some delicate little flower.
01:07:34I had a heart attack, not a lobotomy.
01:07:39Hannah, darling.
01:07:41Anya, I just got word that Danny Maxwell has been banned from the Gala.
01:07:48Your daughter is trying to get her kicked out.
01:07:50What?
01:07:52I said I've got it.
01:07:55Fine.
01:07:56That's the way you want it to be.
01:08:03See?
01:08:04As a true genius behind this dress, I fixed it.
01:08:08Good as new.
01:08:11Shout out to my hella talented designer Bryn Maxwell of Anya Winter Couture for dressing me tonight.
01:08:17Thanks to her, I swerved a full-on wardrobe malfunction.
01:08:25All of my hard work ruined by Bryn's ego.
01:08:41You know, it takes a profound lack of talents to destroy a gown so beautiful.
01:08:45Yeah, what kind of shoddy repair gown was that?
01:08:51That girl is so not worthy of dressing Solea.
01:08:54Yes, I am.
01:08:56I'm suing Anya Winters for all your brand is worth.
01:09:00This is all your fault.
01:09:02My fault?
01:09:04I was trying to help.
01:09:05I was trying to take your mom's little washed-up brand and make it relevant by dressing the hottest,
01:09:09most famous woman in the world.
01:09:11How dare you call my mother's brand washed-up? You're going to pay for that.
01:09:15How?
01:09:16Are you going to fire me like you fired Danny?
01:09:21When all those loser designers got let go, I replaced the staff with my own people.
01:09:25If I go, they go.
01:09:28How will Anya Winters keep its title as number one couture house without a design staff?
01:09:33You won't keep your spot as number one, as long as you have a fraud like Bryn as your creative director either.
01:09:41I'm calling my lawyers.
01:09:48Bryn, this is all your fault.
01:09:50Okay, if you guys all want someone to blame for this, why didn't you blame Danny?
01:09:54Okay, I didn't even make that stupid dress. She did.
01:10:02I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean...
01:10:04I think it's finally time to show them who you really are.
01:10:07Bryn's right. I designed the dress. And I'll prove it.
01:10:14So Leia, will you meet me on stage?
01:10:25Don't!
01:10:27You shouldn't trust that ugly, lying bitch. I mean, look at her.
01:10:31She's going to drag down your whole image.
01:10:33Image means nothing without substance, without talent.
01:10:38A true fashion genius should know that.
01:10:42Damn. That's deep.
01:10:44I agree. I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:11:00Danny Maxwell, you were a genius.
01:11:14I have never seen something so stunning.
01:11:16I need her to dress me like that.
01:11:19Wait, this means that I fumbled a super talented baddie?
01:11:23Oh, fuck. It's everything I've ever wanted.
01:11:28You saved this night.
01:11:33Holy cow. This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.
01:11:38You're a visionary.
01:11:39And this time, everyone knows it.
01:11:43So Leia, who are you wearing?
01:11:46I'm wearing Danny Maxwell.
01:11:49For Cossé Jean Couture.
01:11:56I can't be.
01:11:57Danny's the superstar designer that I've formed.
01:12:00This is what I've been trying to tell you.
01:12:02Danny is a fashion icon.
01:12:07You.
01:12:08You were never the fashion prodigy of my mother's couture brand.
01:12:12You were the brain dead nepo baby idiot she warned me about.
01:12:16What is that strung out deadbeat intern doing at the fucking Met Gala?
01:12:22I thought you fired her.
01:12:25I didn't fire her.
01:12:26I actually promoted her to creative director.
01:12:29You promoted this deadbeat and you fired my star designer?
01:12:34Yeah, I did.
01:12:39Do you know how hard I've worked?
01:12:41Do you know how much money I spent to get Danny Maxwell in my fashion house?
01:12:47She is the lifeblood of this brand.
01:12:51And what did you do?
01:12:53You fired her?
01:12:54I'm embarrassed to even call you my daughter.
01:13:08When I turned this over to you, my fashion house dominated the entire world of couture.
01:13:14And now look at it.
01:13:15It's a laughingstock.
01:13:16You.
01:13:19You did this.
01:13:21I'm really sorry.
01:13:22She made me fucked up.
01:13:24How did I fuck up so bad?
01:13:30Hannah is the chair of the Met Gala and she personally banned Danny.
01:13:36You would not want to bash an outcast on your team now, would you?
01:13:39You have some nerve telling me what I did or didn't do?
01:13:46You duped us all into thinking you're a fashion icon when you're nothing more
01:13:52than a dirty scammer in a designer dress.
01:13:57Danny Maxwell is officially granted a lifetime invitation to the Met Gala.
01:14:03But you are banned forever.
01:14:08And you're fired too.
01:14:09Security?
01:14:10No.
01:14:11Take her away.
01:14:11No, please.
01:14:12Hand her over to the cops.
01:14:14She needs to pay for her crimes against fashion.
01:14:17No, please.
01:14:21Danny, please come back to work for me.
01:14:25You know how much I have done for you.
01:14:28My fashion house can't survive without you.
01:14:31I am begging you.
01:14:34Everything you gave me, I gave it all back when your
01:14:37daughter accused me of sabotaging the thing I put my heart and soul into creating.
01:14:42She's exaggerating.
01:14:43That's not what happened.
01:14:44It was Brynn.
01:14:45She was scheming to try to steal Danny's job the whole time.
01:14:49That bitch duped me and got me all confused.
01:14:52Seriously?
01:14:53Well, that confusion almost cost me my whole fashion career and everything I've worked for.
01:14:58Did it feel good making me take the fall for your stupid mistakes?
01:15:03Danny, I'm so sorry.
01:15:06I'm sorry too.
01:15:07I'm not coming back to Anya Winter Couture.
01:15:12I'm staying where I know I'm appreciated.
01:15:14Where no one's ever questioned my talent, my vision, my style.
01:15:19So please, step aside.
01:15:21This is our moment.
01:15:31And we at Claude St. Jean Couture wish you nothing but the best on it.
01:15:33You ruined it.
01:15:43You have ruined everything I've built.
01:15:46I can't.
01:15:51Wow.
01:15:52Really going at you like a bunch of savages, aren't they?
01:15:54Yes.
01:15:56Sorry, are you crying?
01:15:59God, you're hot.
01:16:00Have you ever wanted to be the face of a menswear line?
01:16:05Hell yeah.
01:16:08You better not show up at the office tomorrow.
01:16:11I never should have hired you.
01:16:16Oh no, I need a job.
01:16:18Vanessa, Vanessa.
01:16:21I'm too hot to be on these streets.
01:16:29Call me.
01:16:29Danny.
01:16:34We'd have to take some red carpet pics together.
01:16:36I need all 900 million of my followers to know exactly the way for a dress to be.
01:16:41Give me five minutes.
01:16:42I knew you'd take back your crown.
01:17:00Thank you for believing in me.
01:17:02I always have and I always will.
01:17:17Congratulations.
01:17:20You made it to the top.
01:17:21And that's where I'll stay.
01:17:36You
