Short filmTranscript
00:00S***! No no no no no no no!
00:11The system crashed mid-upload...
00:12Theompa collection was the wrong season!
00:14We're on everything!
00:18People on runway is in 48 hours
00:20If production starts with these botch designs we're all dead
00:23Not just fired, we're dead
00:25When company collapses our careers are over
00:27Come out here and talk to us
00:29We have 8 million tied up in this corruption.
00:31I have a fashion that you're promoting.
00:33Right now, one word from me, your industry poison.
00:46Enough.
00:48Nick!
00:50Mia, Japanese indigo.
00:52Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7.
00:55Pauline, handle those vultures.
00:59Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:0428 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:0727 now. Tick tock.
01:25I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:27I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:31Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:39Vet, are you okay?
01:42Just Rax and Hicks, nothing to-
01:44Oh my god, your water broke.
01:45Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
01:58Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
02:00Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance was more comfortable than ours.
02:11That's my girl.
02:12Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs. Immediately.
02:26Layoffs.
02:28Layoffs.
02:31Absent without leave.
02:33Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
02:36Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
02:40In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
02:46No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
02:52Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
02:57Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
02:59Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:05Oh my god, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:17But, Victoria-
03:18Don't worry about her. That useless prego is on fire.
03:25You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
03:27I hid something in the design.
03:30Your initials and now little graces.
03:33I'll hold them right into the fabric.
03:38In fact, can you get Milan runway?
03:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
03:43Enough for your full tuition and private school.
03:45Mom, you may have to.
03:47You're going to that private school.
03:49No discussion. Your sister and I will manage just fine.
03:52This job will keep us afloat.
03:54I love you, Mom.
03:57Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
04:07After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
04:11Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
04:12What the hell?
04:13Listen up everyone.
04:14Victoria Wintour is terminated.
04:15Effective immediately.
04:16You can't just do that.
04:17She's in the hospital having her baby.
04:18They're a loss against this.
04:19Vic worked while in labor.
04:20She's a creative backbone of his own adult.
04:21Maternity leave.
04:22Medical insurance.
04:23You can't just do that.
04:24She's in the hospital having her baby.
04:25They're a loss against this.
04:26Vic worked while in labor.
04:27She's a creative backbone of his own adult.
04:28Maternity leave.
04:29Medical insurance.
04:30These preggles are bleeding us dry.
04:31Everything okay here?
04:32What the hell?
04:33What the hell?
04:34Listen up everyone.
04:35Victoria Wintour is terminated.
04:36Effective immediately.
04:37Victoria Wintour is terminated.
04:38Effective immediately.
04:39You can't just do that.
04:40She's in the hospital having her baby.
04:41They're a loss against this.
04:42Vic worked while in labor.
04:45She's a creative backbone of his own adult.
04:47Maternity leave.
04:48Medical insurance.
04:49These preggles are bleeding us dry.
04:52Everything okay here?
04:56Great timing.
04:57Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
05:00Clear out your desk now.
05:08You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
05:11I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
05:14Many times.
05:17Well, that ended in history.
05:20The board wants fresh blood.
05:22And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
05:28What?
05:29I'm the one who...
05:31Mia, you...
05:34Feel that curve?
05:35That's her signature.
05:36That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
05:41How could you?
05:42I taught you everything you know.
05:47I wish things were different, Vic.
05:51I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
06:00What happens to my team?
06:02Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
06:06Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
06:09Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
06:13These jobs are their lifelines.
06:15Health insurance.
06:16Paid maternity leave.
06:17Basic human dignity.
06:18You can't just throw them away.
06:20Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
06:22No mandated paid maternity leave.
06:24No real protection.
06:25But hey, that's corporate America for you.
06:27Or we can shift the math.
06:30You sign.
06:31They stay.
06:32The budget works out.
06:34Think of it as...
06:36Taking one for the team.
06:38Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
06:41And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
06:43They can't lose their jobs.
06:48Come on, babe.
06:49You say you care about them.
06:50Prove it.
06:57Too bad.
07:18Five grand.
07:20That's my sevens package after fifteen years.
07:22That's what I'm worth to...
07:23Vincent?
07:35Careful. I got you.
07:41Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
07:44Hi.
07:47High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
07:53So, it's true.
07:59Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Maison Laveau's Milan collection.
08:06How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
08:12Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
08:16What are you getting at exactly?
08:19I'm talking about you and me.
08:21Pardons. Your genius, my money.
08:26No corporate BS.
08:28No one holding you back.
08:34I've got a baby to think about now.
08:37And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
08:41Just saying.
08:42Vincent Chevalier, wow!
08:43You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
08:49Got your spy here?
08:52Mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
08:58Triple her salary, corner office.
09:01Before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
09:03Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
09:06Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
09:09Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
09:13I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
09:18The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
09:20If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
09:26Shit, shit, shit.
09:28What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
09:35Actually, those were my designs.
09:40What did you just say?
09:41The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
09:44I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
09:47Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
09:51I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
09:54Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
10:02So what? Sketches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
10:06Maybe she was your little, what did they call it?
10:09Burst designer?
10:11And the logo?
10:13The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
10:16It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
10:19Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
10:24It's funny, all those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing their heart,
10:29they all have EW and GW's Sony, too.
10:32Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter, her newborn is Grace Winter.
10:37It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
10:41Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
10:43Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
10:49The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
10:55You lying little bitch!
10:57That promotion is for saving the company.
10:59Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually two M's, M-M, for McMichael, my last name.
11:14See? One M flipped, one upright. It's not for Grace or Emily. It's mine.
11:21That is absolutely ridiculous.
11:24Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
11:27You, when they feel like a bitch, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
11:32You learned wild Mia. Maybe too well.
11:36You'll regret this.
11:38Mom, it's okay. We don't have to sink to that level.
11:41Okay. Let me drive you home, Karen. For hours outside.
11:46I got this. You shouldn't be caring anymore.
11:52Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
11:55Just take care of my daughter of Pauli for you.
11:58That's right. Get the hell out of my company. Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
12:03Hold on, Victoria.
12:12VIP invitation. Paris Fashion Room.
12:15Front row. I think you'll find it.
12:18Lightning.
12:24Every pregnant woman fired.
12:27All of us. Just like that.
12:29No severance. No warning. Nothing.
12:32But a box and a security escort.
12:38Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
12:41Your termination people were practically paid for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
12:45Now, about Paris Fashion Room. Your designs are eerily weighted.
12:51You should have kept your legs closed.
13:00Oh my god, Mom.
13:02This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
13:05Victoria Wintour. The Nuclear Vic.
13:07Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
13:10We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
13:13Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
13:17Wait. Maison Léveau?
13:20Well, well. The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
13:23Brave of you to show up here.
13:24What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
13:27Let's go.
13:29Leaving so soon.
13:30You haven't introduced me to your princess.
13:32Does Mommy dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
13:39Mom, is that true?
13:43Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
13:47Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
13:50My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
13:56If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of a business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
14:02Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
14:05Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
14:08That's got a sting, huh?
14:10Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
14:13But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
14:17If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
14:21That's enough.
14:25That's enough.
14:27You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
14:31Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
14:35That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
14:37Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic. It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
14:45What the hell do you think you're doing?
14:49Remove that dress.
14:51We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
14:54Hey, stop it! Let go of my mod!
14:57Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
14:59Take your hands off her now!
15:04Vincent.
15:08You're dismissed.
15:16You alright?
15:20You alright?
15:21I'm fine.
15:22Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
15:24The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
15:27What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
15:30That knockoff?
15:31That you're so eager to trash her for?
15:34It's Chauvin.
15:36Haute couture.
15:37Winter Collection.
15:38Not even released yet.
15:40Price tag?
15:42300,000.
15:43Wow!
15:44You gave her that.
15:45That's right.
15:46You did.
15:48I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
15:51Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
15:53Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
15:56Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight, he's your walking trust fund.
16:01Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
16:03It's just so predictably desperate.
16:08You really don't understand real talent, do you?
16:12For those of you who don't know me,
16:14I'm Vincent Chevalier.
16:15CEO of Jevent.
16:18And yes,
16:20I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
16:23I have followed your career from a distance for years.
16:26Your brilliance.
16:28Your principles.
16:29Your passion.
16:31Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
16:34Mom, did you know about this?
16:36I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
16:38But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
16:45She won't let you down, boss.
16:49You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
16:52The show is about to start.
16:55Your seats are waiting.
17:00Holy shit.
17:01The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
17:04Talk about a power couple.
17:05Think about the entire industry.
17:06The entire industry.
17:08This isn't over, bitch.
17:09Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
17:11You've seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
17:25Some talents you recognize immediately.
17:29Some people, too.
17:33Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
17:37This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
17:40She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
17:44It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
17:47I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
17:52And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
17:58That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
18:01Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
18:04That's enough, Holly.
18:05Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
18:09Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
18:13Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
18:16That's her real design strategy.
18:18Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
18:20And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
18:24How dare you?
18:28Miss Jenkins, Miss Michaels, it's a disaster in there.
18:31There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
18:33Not now.
18:39The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
18:42The dresses are literally falling apart.
18:45We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
18:46Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Mobile? Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
18:50This is completely unprofessional.
18:52I have 10 million invested in this collection. This is breach of contract.
18:56It's actually fixable.
19:00Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping me backstabbing vultures.
19:05Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
19:08Maison Lefaux appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
19:11Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
19:14The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
19:17This show doesn't happen. You're personally liable for the breach penalties. We're talking billions, Holly. Billions.
19:27Billions.
19:47What's this?
19:48Now.
19:50How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
19:53I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
19:56You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
19:59If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
20:02That's billions of dollars.
20:04Then you better figure something out.
20:06Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
20:19Miss Winter, how do you respond to the accusations over design theft?
20:23Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
20:26Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
20:29And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
20:32We're gathering evidence as we speak.
20:43Excuse me.
20:45Excuse me.
20:46It's okay, punk.
20:47I'll be right back.
20:52What do you want, Mia?
20:57Vic, I really need your help.
21:00Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
21:03Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
21:07But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
21:09What about them?
21:10Their jobs are on the line with the show.
21:12If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
21:16Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just put this out of here.
21:21Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show?
21:23Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
21:26Please, not for me. For them.
21:30I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
21:34What exactly happened to them, Mia?
21:35They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
21:42Is that right?
21:44Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.
21:48They do.
21:50Fine.
21:51I'll help you.
21:52But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
22:04Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear VEC.
22:07I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
22:15I need royal fuchsia for the stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
22:20Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
22:24Would this work?
22:25I need royal fuchsia.
22:30Vincent, how did you...
22:33I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven as emergency kit.
22:39This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
22:45I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
22:49I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
22:52I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone.
22:56It's yours now.
22:58I don't want your design, Victoria.
23:01Then what do you want?
23:03You.
23:05What?
23:09Your talent. Your vision.
23:12Come and work at Joven.
23:14I'm in. I'll work for you.
23:17Just like that?
23:18Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
23:23I hate it when I'm gone.
23:28I wish I was cool.
23:30Like the new girl at school.
23:32I regret it.
23:33So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get out.
23:36I won't be back.
23:38Don't ever change.
23:40I'm gonna be proud of my name.
23:43She's doing it in minutes.
23:45What would have taken us hours.
23:47Whoa.
23:48No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
23:50It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
23:53The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
23:56I've learned how to be myself.
24:00Five minutes till showtime. We made it.
24:05Woo!
24:06Yeah!
24:12Well?
24:13Do we pull the plug or not?
24:14We're good.
24:15Everything's back on track.
24:17See?
24:18I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
24:19You've got twice your talent.
24:22Yeah.
24:23Right.
24:24This is exactly why I promoted you.
24:26You fixed prices to not make them.
24:33To Victoria.
24:35The real hero of the night.
24:45Mom, you're insane.
24:46I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
24:49Couldn't have done it without you.
24:52You know, if you start dating before you work together,
24:54it doesn't count as an office romance.
25:00Well, well, still hanging around.
25:02I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
25:05Fraud.
25:07Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
25:10What are you talking about?
25:11Just ask the models.
25:13Any of them.
25:15Oh, and Mia.
25:16Don't forget about our agreement.
25:17About Miranda and Pauline.
25:19Bye.
25:21Bye.
25:24Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
25:31Speaking of new beginnings.
25:33Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
25:36I want to help.
25:38With her education.
25:40What?
25:41Listen, that's too much.
25:42We barely know each other.
25:44Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
25:48I remember watching you win that regional competition.
25:52In that silver dress.
25:54The one you made from scratch.
25:56I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
26:01Do you remember that?
26:02I remember everything.
26:03I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
26:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
26:13We were married.
26:15And then you weren't.
26:17And then you were building your career.
26:19The timing was never right.
26:22Until now.
26:23I've been waiting.
26:2420 years to live.
26:25I've been waiting.
26:2620 years to live.
26:27I've been waiting.
26:2820 years to live.
26:44I should probably get this.
26:53Mia.
26:54God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
26:59That Milan disaster you turned around?
27:00Absolute magic.
27:02And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
27:05Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
27:10Sean Gosling?
27:11The Sean Gosling?
27:13The very one.
27:14Three-time Oscar winner.
27:15People's Sexiest Man Alive.
27:16And if we play our cards right, the next place the Maison of those hands wear.
27:20They're taking pitches now.
27:21If he picks yours, this changes everything.
27:23For you.
27:24For the brand.
27:25Where it is, Joe Ben's in the running too.
27:28Land this.
27:29Vincent and his whore Victoria are done.
27:34Seal the deal?
27:35I'll bump your pay by 20%.
27:37I've got this, Holly.
27:38You won't regret it.
27:39God, what am I going to do?
27:40I can't design menswear.
27:41I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
27:42Miranda and Felina are gone too.
27:43I'm completely on my own.
27:44If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze
27:46one more miracle over her.
27:47I...
27:48I don't know.
27:49I don't know.
27:50Oh, I don't want to see her now.
27:51I can't go wrong with that.
27:52I don't know.
27:53I don't know.
27:54I can't design menswear.
27:55I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
27:56Miranda and Felina are gone too.
27:57I'm completely on my own.
27:58If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze
28:02one more miracle over her.
28:03Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
28:23You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
28:29We're pitching for Sean's Oscar text. Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
28:32Miranda's excellent with men, so she can handle this without me.
28:34Please, wait, there's more to it.
28:36After Paris, Pauline needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
28:39Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
28:41I've been fighting for them.
28:43Are you serious? Pauline's due any day now.
28:45Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
28:48If we land it, I can finance Pauline to keep them both.
28:51Have you worked with Sean before?
28:52No, but I've heard you have.
28:54Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
28:58Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Val.
29:01Oh.
29:02Really? What concept?
29:07Well...
29:18Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
29:21I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
29:24Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
29:27I do. Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
29:31Wait.
29:33Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?
29:37Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
29:42Is the company covering your health insurance?
29:45Of course, Vic.
29:46Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
29:49We need to think about it.
29:52Take all the time you need.
29:54Ma'am, don't make me regret trusting you.
29:57Again.
29:58Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
29:59Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
30:04The Sean Gossman one with the black sides and lapels?
30:08That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
30:13Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
30:15Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about that.
30:18Shoulder.
30:19Mom, are you okay?
30:20Miranda?
30:21Vic?
30:22Mom, are you okay?
30:23I don't know.
30:24Yeah, I'm sorry.
30:25I'm sorry.
30:26No, I don't know.
30:27Oops, I don't know.
30:28I'm sorry.
30:29You're okay.
30:30I don't know.
30:31You're okay.
30:32That's the one.
30:33The Sean Gossman one with the black sides and lapels?
30:35That's the one.
30:36Can you check my home office?
30:37It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
30:39Got it.
30:41Grace is napping.
30:42It's the perfect timing.
30:43Thanks, sweetie.
30:44I just need to double check something about that.
30:47Mom! Mom! What's going on?
30:50Emily, I'll call you right back.
30:53Brenda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
30:56Girls don't pay themselves.
30:58You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
31:02Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gasoline project.
31:06What? Isn't that the story she's spinning now?
31:10After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
31:14No severance, no cover, and nothing. Just gone.
31:17That's completely illegal.
31:19Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
31:23All at once. What are the odds, right?
31:26From Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
31:30Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
31:37And Mia knew about all this.
31:39Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
31:43Didn't even blink.
31:45Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
31:48She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
31:51Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
31:54What? That bitch!
31:57This ends now.
32:03Damn it!
32:04Excuse me, Miss Michael.
32:05He's just arrived from Milan.
32:06We need approval by aiming for them.
32:07Can't you see I'm working on something important?
32:09What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
32:10Victoria would never treat us otherwise.
32:11I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect? Then where is she now? Gone.
32:13Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
32:20Well, at least you could actually design it.
32:21What the hell is going on here?
32:22Just a creative disagreement. Everything's under control.
32:23The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
32:24I don't know.
32:25I don't know.
32:26I don't know.
32:27I don't know.
32:28I don't know.
32:29I don't know.
32:30I don't know.
32:31I don't know.
32:32I don't know.
32:33I don't know.
32:34I don't know.
32:35I don't know.
32:36I don't know.
32:37I don't know.
32:38I don't know.
32:39I don't know.
32:40What the hell is going on here?
32:44Just a creative disagreement.
32:46Everything's under control.
32:47The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
32:53Of course.
32:54I'm just finalizing some details.
32:55Show me.
32:56It's not quite ready.
32:57Now.
33:02This is garbage.
33:04Absolute garbage.
33:05I just need a little more time.
33:07We don't have more time.
33:08This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
33:10If your friend gets this deal instead of us.
33:15What's that?
33:20It's just some inspiration.
33:21I recorded for the design.
33:24I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
33:26Get me when I'm designed by tomorrow morning.
33:28Or pack up your desk by lunch.
33:34I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
33:51Right on cue.
33:55Meet that sketch ASAP.
34:00Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
34:03The absolute nerve of this woman.
34:07She'll get her sketch.
34:08And that's when we spin the trap.
34:10You're early.
34:11Thick.
34:12I really need that sketch.
34:13I said I'd help.
34:14Not hand over my design.
34:15Holly's all over me about this.
34:16If I don't have something tonight.
34:17Miranda and Pauline are toast.
34:18Still lying Mia.
34:19You'd never learn.
34:20Guess it's payback time.
34:21So...
34:22Do you want my help or not?
34:23I can walk you through it.
34:24Your design could be just as good.
34:25She's not as good.
34:26You know, there's it.
34:27She's not as good.
34:28It's not as good.
34:29So, I'm going to go.
34:30I'm going to go.
34:31I'm going to go.
34:32I'm going to go on a little side.
34:33I'll go.
34:34To see if we have your help.
34:35We have three years.
34:36I'm going to go on a little bit.
34:37This is freezing.
34:38No.
34:39There's just a nice day.
34:40You're going to go.
34:41To see if I'm...
34:42You're going to go on a little bit.
34:43I'm going to go.
34:45I can walk you through it. Your design could be just as good.
34:47She's such a snake.
34:50Heck, my stomach is killing me.
34:52Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
34:55Fine. Don't touch anything.
35:15Sorry, Nick. Survival of the fitness.
35:30You just let her take your work?
35:31She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
35:36You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
35:39Go after the same clients.
35:40Show them what real design looks like.
35:43We're not out yet.
35:45Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
35:59Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
36:03You're welcome, Mom.
36:07I want you and your team as your van.
36:11Full creative control.
36:12Oh, Miranda, your husband's dead.
36:16Handled.
36:17And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
36:20Mr. Chevalier, I...
36:20I'm Pauline.
36:23Your sister is in good hands.
36:25The best heart surgeon in the country.
36:27It's already prepping for her next surgery.
36:30Mr. Chevalier!
36:31Thank you!
36:32Don't thank me.
36:33Thank Victoria.
36:34I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
36:38Vincent, I...
36:38I don't even know what to say.
36:41It's about time you all get what you deserve.
36:43I don't know what to say.
36:45Yes!
36:46Okay.
36:47I'm just looking out for the kids.
36:48Bye better.
36:49Bye.
36:50Bye.
36:50Bye.
36:53Bye.
36:54Bye.
36:55Bye.
36:56Bye.
36:57Bye.
36:58Bye.
36:58Bye.
36:59Bye.
37:02Bye.
37:03Bye.
37:03Bye.
37:04Bye.
37:05Bye.
37:05Bye.
37:06Bye.
37:07Bye.
37:07Bye.
37:10Bye.
37:11Bye.
37:12Bye.
37:12Bye.
37:12We're here.
37:37And you're still here?
37:39Final tweaks.
37:40The pitch goes out tomorrow.
37:42You've got Grace to sleep.
37:48Yeah.
37:49And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
37:53Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
38:01Remember, smile.
38:02We're about to make this read.
38:05Maison Laveau sets the bar.
38:08We don't follow trends.
38:09We create them.
38:10Satin black lapels.
38:16Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
38:18A blend of tradition and boldness.
38:21I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
38:24What is that bitch doing here?
38:30Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
38:37My company is thriving because of your generosity.
38:41I didn't expect to see you here.
38:43I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
38:48I multitask.
38:50Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
38:53You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategy is working wonders.
38:57The office is so empty, it echoes.
38:59And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
39:03Pregnant women talk, you know.
39:05Three excellent reason if I'm the CEO.
39:07What's next?
39:08The bake sale?
39:09Laugh all you want, Holly.
39:11You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
39:13And what real loyalty looks like.
39:15Sean, glad you can make it.
39:27We have something very special to show you.
39:31Vic.
39:35I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
39:36You never know.
39:38Congratulations.
39:39Thank you, Sean.
39:40It's good to see you.
39:41Let's begin the pitches.
39:44Are you ready for news?
39:45You're out of your league.
39:46You should know by now, I don't play by no rules.
39:55First up, me and McMichael.
39:56Maison Laveau.
40:11Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
40:15Beautiful work.
40:22Both things.
40:26We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
40:31After careful consideration, we're awarding project to...
40:37Maison Laveau.
40:37What the hell did you people put me in?
40:54Are you trying to kill me?
40:55Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
40:58Who designed this tuxedo?
40:59Did you even read the brief?
41:02I mean, you must have read the brief.
41:05It's not complicated.
41:06It says no synthetic blends.
41:09I mean...
41:09Must be some kind of mistake.
41:11Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
41:12A mistake?
41:14I could have ended up in the emergency room.
41:16Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
41:20I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
41:29I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
41:32And that's why Victoria's the best.
41:34She actually pays attention.
41:35After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
41:39The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
41:42It's okay.
41:44Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
41:46Mia's design was the front runner all along.
41:48That's why they picked her first.
41:52Maybe everyone should see this.
41:58Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
42:05That's a new low.
42:06Even for you.
42:10Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
42:13And so you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
42:19Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
42:21We're suspending all collaborations.
42:31Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
42:34You're blacklisted.
42:38Victoria, please.
42:39Victoria, please.
42:49I'll do anything.
42:50Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
42:54You made your choices, Holly.
42:56Now you live with them.
42:58Why don't you go too far?
43:04Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
43:09Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
43:11To the best comeback in fashion history, and to the women who made it happen.
43:23And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
43:28Mom, you might want to see this.
43:30Happy birthday, Victoria.
43:41Happy birthday to you!
43:46Guys, look!
43:49Maison Laveau on the brink?
43:51Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
43:54Ouch!
43:55I guess karma has a sense of humor.
43:57It's strange, isn't it?
44:02I gave them everything.
44:04Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
44:09Now it's all crashing down.
44:11I thought I'd feel vindicated.
44:13Honestly, it's a weird mix.
44:15Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
44:18Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
44:21Look at this!
44:22Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
44:28Victoria, this is you!
44:30You did this!
44:31Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
44:36Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
44:40Careful, Vincent.
44:41You almost forgot the best part.
44:42Victoria, will you marry me?
45:00Yes!
45:01A thousand times, yes!
45:02Woo!
45:03Yeah!
45:03Woo!
45:03Woo!
45:03Woo!
45:03Woo!
45:03Woo!
45:04Woo!
45:04Woo!
45:04Woo!
45:04Woo!
45:05Woo!
45:05Woo!
45:06Woo!
45:06Woo!
45:07Woo!
45:07Woo!
45:08Woo!
45:08Woo!
45:09Woo!
45:10Woo!
45:10Woo!
45:11Woo!
45:11Woo!
45:12Woo!
45:12Woo!
45:12Woo!
45:13Woo!
45:13Woo!
45:18Woo!
45:19You came.
45:19I thought you'd want to see me like this.
45:36I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
45:38When word got out, you left.
45:40Client failed.
45:41The board freaked.
45:42The board freaked.
45:43Members tanked.
45:44I couldn't stop it.
45:45I couldn't stop it.
45:46You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
45:48I know.
45:49I know.
45:50I know.
45:51I know.
45:52I know.
45:53I know.
45:54I know.
45:55My father.
45:56The stress gave him a heart attack.
45:58He won't even speak to me anymore.
46:00I destroyed everything.
46:01I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
46:06I didn't mean for it to end like this.
46:09Maison Laveau isn't dead.
46:10Maison Laveau isn't dead.
46:11I bought it.
46:12I bought it.
46:13Last week.
46:14The brand.
46:15The archives.
46:16Even the debt.
46:17It's part of Jeven now.
46:18You're glad.
46:19Why would you do that?
46:20To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
46:25You win, Victoria.
46:26I hope you do better than I did.
46:27I'll do it differently.
46:28Goodbye, Holly.
46:29Miss Winter, I just...
46:31I wanted to thank you.
46:32Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
46:41I can't keep working and...
46:45I don't that stuff.
46:46You know...
46:47I came to build a thriving life.
46:49But it's okay.
46:50Goodbye, Holly.
46:51Victoria.
46:52I hope you do better than I did.
46:53I'll do it differently.
46:55Goodbye, Holly.
46:56You're good.
46:57I can keep working and have my baby.
47:02You changed everything.
47:04Congratulations.
47:06Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
47:15Ready?
47:18Always.
47:27And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and her team.
