00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season! We're on everything!
00:15The long runway is in 48 hours! If production starts with these batch designs, we're all dead! Not just fired, we're dead!
00:27Our company collapses, our careers are over! Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:34I have a fashion that you're floating on right now! One word for me, you're in some poison!
00:54Enough!
00:55Vic!
00:58Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:01Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:05Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:12Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1628 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot!
01:2027 now. Tick tock!
01:21I'm done! Crisis averted!
01:33I swear to god, you're not human!
01:3527 minutes!
01:36Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in! This will shatter every record!
01:42Vet!
01:43Vet! Are you okay?
01:44Just...
01:45Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
01:46Oh my god, your water broke!
01:47I swear to god, you're not human!
01:4827 minutes!
01:49I swear to god, you're not human!
01:5027 minutes!
01:51Pre-orders are...
01:52Pre-orders are flooding in! This will shatter every record!
02:01Vet! Are you okay?
02:05Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
02:07Oh my god, your water broke.
02:18Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:24Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:28Dad called.
02:30He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:35since he decided that his assistant's been more comfortable than ours.
02:41That's my girl.
02:51Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:57We need to slash costs immediately.
03:01Layoffs.
03:02That's it without leave.
03:07Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:11Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster, they get immunity.
03:17In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:21No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:32Boss, the Milan collection crisis averted.
03:36Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:40Impressive.
03:41Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:49Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:52She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:54I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:02But, Victoria...
04:04Don't worry about her.
04:05I'm not useless.
04:06There I go, I just have fire.
04:12You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:15I hid something in the design.
04:18Your initials and now little graces.
04:22Hold them right into the fabric.
04:23And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:37Mom, you ain't have to.
04:39You're going to that private school.
04:41No discussion.
04:43Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:48I love you, Mom.
04:53Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:10Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:36Listen up, everyone.
05:37Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:57These preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:00Everything okay here?
06:01Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:22I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Many times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:39I'm the one who...
06:46Mia, you...
06:49Feel that curve?
06:52That's your signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:00How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:04I wish things were different, Vic.
07:14I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:26Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things got so bad, she had to get hair implants.
07:36Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:54But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:01You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:06Think of it as...
08:08Taking one for the team.
08:11Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, babe.
08:24You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:31You can't lose your life.
08:44Oh, well, you are.
08:44You are in pain.
08:45It's not just your bekommen.
08:47You are a subde ahĂ.
08:49You are in pain.
08:49You look at your screaming.
08:50You look at my son's spiritual.
08:51You look at my son's spiritual.
08:53You look at her son's spiritual.
08:54Let me think of what'stransé to you.
08:55So I know, you look at her in your family.
08:57Five grand?
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:06That's what I'm worth to them.
09:21Careful.
09:22I got you.
09:27Vincent?
09:30Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:36High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true.
09:50Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison Laveau's
09:57Milan collection.
10:01How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:08Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11What are you getting at, exactly?
10:16I'm talking about you and me.
10:20Partners.
10:22You're genius.
10:24My money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:28No one holding you back.
10:29I've got a baby to think about now.
10:36And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:47Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:49You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:55Can I respond here?
10:55Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:04Triple her salary, corner office.
11:07You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swooping.
11:11Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:14Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:18Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:22I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:29The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:32If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about?
11:42Victoria designed all of this.
11:43Actually, those were my designs.
11:55What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:02Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:05Oops.
12:06Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:11Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:23So what?
12:24Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:26It doesn't prove squat.
12:28Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:31Guest designer?
12:33And the logo?
12:34The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:41It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:44No, Mia, explain it.
12:45Make me shut up.
12:50It's funny.
12:51All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in her life,
12:56they all have EW and GW's so many, too.
13:00Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:03Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:07It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:11Mia, is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:16Well, Mia, tell them.
13:18Tell them you designed this.
13:20Tell them you saved Milan.
13:21The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:29You lying little bitch.
13:32That promotion was for saving the company.
13:38Look at the logo again.
13:40It's not EW or GW.
13:44It's actually two M's.
13:47M.M.
13:48For McMichael, my last name.
13:51See?
13:54One M flipped.
13:56One upright.
13:57It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:00It's mine.
14:02That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:05Oh my god, she's right.
14:07It does look more like two M's.
14:10You manipulative bitch.
14:12You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:16You learned well, Mia.
14:19Maybe too well.
14:21You'll regret this.
14:25Come on, Vincent.
14:26We don't have to sink to their level.
14:29Okay.
14:30Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:32My Ferrari is outside.
14:34If I got this, you shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:37I know.
14:42Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43I'll just take care of Miranda and Paulie, will you?
14:51That's right.
14:51Get the hell out of my company.
14:53Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
15:02Paul and Victoria.
15:03A VIP invitation, as fashionally.
15:08Front row.
15:10I didn't even find it.
15:12Lightning.
15:12Every pregnant woman fired.
15:23All of us.
15:25Just like that.
15:26No severance.
15:28No warning.
15:29Nothing.
15:29But a box and a security escort.
15:37Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:41Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign.
15:44And the bonus might be right in star.
15:45Now, about Paris fashion movie.
15:49Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:54You should have kept your legs closed.
16:04Oh my god, Mom.
16:06This is insane.
16:07I can't believe we're actually here.
16:09Victoria Winter.
16:11The Nuclear Vic.
16:12Your mom's basically a legend.
16:14You know that, right?
16:14We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison LĂ©veau.
16:20Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:25Wait.
16:26Maison LĂ©veau?
16:29Well, well.
16:30The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:33Brave of you to show up here.
16:35What's next?
16:36Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:39Let's go.
16:40Leaving so soon?
16:41You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:43Is Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:52Mom, is that true?
16:53Don't worry.
16:58She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:02Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:05Still pretending she matters.
17:06My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:14If Maison LĂ©veau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:21Well, look at that.
17:22It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:25Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:28That's got a sting, huh?
17:31Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:36Hey, good news.
17:37There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:41If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:45That's enough.
17:49That's enough.
17:50You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:54You never belonged in this world.
17:57Look at her.
17:58A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:02That dress.
18:04It's a cheap knockoff.
18:08Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:12It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:18What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:20Remove that dress.
18:23We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:28Hey, stop it.
18:29Let go of my mom.
18:31Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:34Take your hands off her now.
18:39Vincent.
18:45You're dismissed.
18:50You're right?
18:59You're right?
19:00I'm fine.
19:01Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:04The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:07What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:08That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?
19:16It's Chauvin.
19:18Motivator.
19:19Winter collection.
19:21Not even released yet.
19:23Price tag?
19:24$300,000.
19:27Wow!
19:28You gave her that.
19:30That's right.
19:31You did.
19:34I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:37Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:40Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:44Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:46He's your walking trust fund.
19:50Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:53It's just so predictably desperate.
19:56You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:04For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Gevent.
20:12And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:16I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:22Your brilliance.
20:23Your principles.
20:25Your passion.
20:28Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:31Mom, did you know about this?
20:34I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:38But in the meantime, what I will do
20:40is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:45She won't let you down, boss.
20:50You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:53She's nothing but a has-been.
20:56The show is about to start.
20:58Your seats are waiting.
21:04Holy shit.
21:06The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:09Talk about a power couple.
21:11They could run the entire industry.
21:15This isn't over, bitch.
21:17Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:28So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:31Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:40Some people, too.
21:46Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:49I have an important announcement.
21:50This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:54She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:59It's true.
22:01She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:04I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:08And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:17That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:20Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:24That's enough, Holly.
22:25Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:31Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:36Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:40That's her real design strategy.
22:42Stop it, Holly.
22:43You're embarrassing yourself.
22:45And those kids she's so proud of?
22:47Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:48It's a disaster in there.
22:59There's something wrong with the collection.
23:00It's the fabric.
23:01Not now.
23:07The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:11The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:14We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:17Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison LeVoe?
23:19Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:22This is completely unprofessional.
23:24I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:29This is breach of contract.
23:32It's actually fixable.
23:36Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:42Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:44Maison LeVoe appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:48Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:52The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
24:01This show doesn't happen.
24:03You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:06We're talking billions, Holly.
24:08Billions.
24:09What do you do?
24:32What do you do?
24:33Now.
24:34How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:39I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:43You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:46If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:50That's billions of dollars.
24:53Then you better figure something out.
24:55Because if you don't, not only are you fired,
24:58I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:04Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:17Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:21Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:24And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:29We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:34Excuse me.
25:44Excuse me.
25:46It's okay, punk. I'll be right back.
25:54What do you want, Mia?
25:59Vic, I really need your help.
26:02Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:06Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:11But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:14What about them?
26:15Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:17If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:22Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:28Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:31Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:35Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For it's weird.
26:40I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:44What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:50They... they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:55Is that right?
26:57Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:02They do.
27:03I do.
27:04Fine.
27:07I'll help you.
27:08But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:10Not for you.
27:23Oh my God.
27:24It's Victoria Winter.
27:25A nuclear VEC.
27:26I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:33I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:41Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:47Would this work?
27:54Vincent, how did you...
27:57I figured you might need some supplies, so...
28:00I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:06This is perfect, but...
28:08Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:13I'm not helping them.
28:16I'm helping you.
28:19I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:22I have a design I've been saving.
28:24Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:27It's yours now.
28:28I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:33Then what do you want?
28:35You.
28:39What?
28:43Your talent.
28:45Your vision.
28:47Come and work as Joven.
28:49I'm in.
28:51I'll work for you.
28:53Just like that.
28:54Just like that.
28:55Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:58Good job for Maison Laveau.
29:01Oh.
29:02I hate it.
29:05When I'm gone.
29:07I wish I was cool.
29:09Like the new girl at school.
29:11I regret it.
29:13So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get up.
29:17I won't get back.
29:19Don't ever change.
29:21I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:26She's doing in minutes.
29:28What would have taken us hours.
29:30Whoa.
29:32No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:34It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:38The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:41Learn how to be myself.
29:46Five minutes till showtime.
29:48You made it.
30:02Well?
30:03Do we pull the plug or not?
30:05We're good.
30:06Everything's back on track.
30:07See?
30:09I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:11You've got twice her talent.
30:14Yeah.
30:15Right.
30:16This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:19You fix bests, not make them.
30:27To Victoria.
30:29The real hero of the night.
30:37Mom, you're insane.
30:38I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:40Couldn't have done it without you.
30:42You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:43Well, well, still hanging around.
30:44I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:45Fraud.
30:46Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:47What are you talking about?
30:48Just ask the models.
30:49Any, as I was told.
30:50You know, I'm not because I am.
30:51I'm not.
30:52I'm not.
30:53I'm not.
30:54There's no fake money.
30:55There's no fake money.
30:56I'm not.
30:57I don't know.
30:58I'm not.
30:59I'm not.
31:00I don't know.
31:01I'm not.
31:02I'm not.
31:03I'm not.
31:04I'm not.
31:05You're not.
31:06I'm not.
31:07I'm not.
31:08Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:12What are you talking about?
31:14Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:19Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement.
31:22About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:38Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:46I want to help with her education.
31:49What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:55Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
32:00I remember watching you win that regional competition.
32:05And that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
32:10I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:16Do you remember that?
32:18I remember everything.
32:21I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:29Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:31You were married.
32:34And then you weren't.
32:36And then you were building your career.
32:39The timing just was never right.
32:43Until now.
32:44I have been waiting.
32:56Twenty years to keep going.
32:57I should probably get this.
33:12Mia?
33:13God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:28That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:32And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:35Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:42Sean Gosling?
33:43The Sean Gosling?
33:45The very one.
33:47Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:50And if we play our cards right, the next face of Maison, the Bulls, Manswear.
33:55They're taking pitches now.
33:57If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:59For you.
34:00For the brand.
34:02Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:05Land this.
34:06Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:12Seal the deal?
34:13I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:16I've got this, Holly.
34:17You won't regret it.
34:18God, what am I going to do?
34:27I can't design menswear.
34:30I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:33Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:35I'm completely on my own.
34:37If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:44maybe I can squeeze one more vehicle over here.
35:09Thanks for meeting me.
35:10I know things are complicated between us.
35:12You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:15Cut to the chase.
35:19We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
35:21Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:23Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:24She can handle this without me.
35:26Please, wait, there's more to it.
35:28After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:32Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:35I've been fighting for them.
35:37Are you serious?
35:39Pauline's due any day now.
35:40Trust me, I know.
35:42This project is our only shot.
35:43If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:47Have you worked with Sean before?
35:49No, but I've heard you have.
35:52Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:57Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison Malone.
36:01Really?
36:02What concept?
36:07Well...
36:08Perfect!
36:09She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:11I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:17Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:20I do.
36:21Actually, I...
36:22I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:23Wait.
36:24Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:25How exactly is she part of this project?
36:26Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:27Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:29Of course.
36:30I'll save my ass and land this project.
36:31Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:34I do.
36:36Actually, I...
36:37I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:41Wait.
36:43Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:44How exactly is she part of this project?
36:47Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:52Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:54your health insurance?
36:56Of course, Vic.
36:58Colleen and Miranda's jobs
37:00are on the line here.
37:04You need to leave your body.
37:06Take all the time you need.
37:08Mia.
37:10Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:12Again.
37:24Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:32Remember that tuxedo sketch
37:34I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:36The Sean Gosselin one
37:38with the black satin lapels?
37:40That's the one. Can you check my home office?
37:42It should be in the portfolio
37:44marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:46Got it.
37:48Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
37:50Thanks, sweetie.
37:52I just need to double check something about that.
37:57Shoulder.
37:58Instruction.
38:00Mom, are you okay?
38:06Miranda?
38:08Vic?
38:12Mom, Mom!
38:14What's going on?
38:16Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:18Miranda, what happened?
38:20Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:24Mills don't pay themselves.
38:26You met my husband.
38:28Old child with no paycheck.
38:30And now there's a newborn at home.
38:32Mia said you were on maternity leave
38:34working remotely on the gossing project.
38:36What?
38:38Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:40After you left,
38:42she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:46No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:48Just gone.
38:50That's completely illegal.
38:52Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some third performance clause.
38:58All at once.
39:00What are the odds, right?
39:02And Polly,
39:04working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
39:06Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:10And Mia knew about all this.
39:16Mia.
39:18Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:22Didn't even blink.
39:24Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:28She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:32Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:35What?
39:36That bitch.
39:40This ends now.
39:48Damn it.
39:54Miss Michael.
39:55He's just arrived from Milan.
39:56We need approval by name for that.
39:58Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:10What are y'all looking at? Get back to work.
40:12Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:16I heard that.
40:18You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:20Then where is she now?
40:22Gone.
40:24Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:28Well at least you can actually design it.
40:36What the hell is going on here?
40:38Just a creative disagreement.
40:40Everything's under control.
40:42The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:44Of course I'm just finalizing some details.
40:46Show me.
40:48It's not quite ready.
40:50Now.
40:52This is garbage.
40:54Absolute garbage.
40:56I just need a little more time.
40:57We don't have more time.
40:58This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:00If Shufan gets this deal instead of us.
41:02What's that?
41:04It's just some inspiration.
41:05I recorded for the design.
41:06I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:08Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:10Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:12Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:14I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:18Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:20Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:22It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:27I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:30get me when you design me tomorrow morning,
41:32or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:52I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:06Right on cue.
42:10Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:13Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:16The absolute nerve of this woman!
42:19She'll get her a sketch.
42:23And that's when we spin the trap.
42:37You're early.
42:39Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:49I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:53Holly's all over me about this.
42:55If I don't have something tonight,
42:57Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:01Still lying, Mia.
43:02You never learn.
43:03Guess it's payback time.
43:05So, do you want my help or not?
43:08I can walk you through it.
43:09Your design could be just as good.
43:11She's such a snake!
43:15Vic, my stomach is killing me!
43:17Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:21Fine.
43:22But don't touch anything.
43:24There we go.
43:25Okay...
43:49Sorry then.
43:51Survival of the fitness.
43:53You just let her take your work?
44:07She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:12You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:16Go after the same clients.
44:18Show them what real design looks like.
44:21We're not out yet.
44:23Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:41Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:46You're welcome, Mom.
44:47I want you and your team as your van.
44:56Full creative control.
44:59I'm Miranda.
45:00Your husband's debt handled.
45:03And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:07Mr. Chiavelli, I...
45:09I'm Pauline.
45:11Your sister is in good hands.
45:14The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:16She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:19Mr. Chiavelli, thank you.
45:23Don't thank me.
45:24Thank Victoria.
45:26I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:28Vincent, I...
45:29Vincent, I...
45:31I don't even know what to say.
45:34It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:37It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:37It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:39It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:40It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:41It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:42It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:43It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:44It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:45It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:46It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:47It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:48It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:49It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:50It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:51It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:52It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:53It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:54It's about time you all get what you deserve.
46:25You're here.
46:44And you're still here.
46:46Final tweaks.
46:47The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:52You've got Grace to sleep.
46:55Yeah.
46:59And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:04Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:12Remember, smile.
47:14We're about to make this week.
47:18Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:20We don't follow trends.
47:23We create them.
47:29Satin black lapels.
47:32Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:35A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:48What is that bitch doing here?
47:50Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:58My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:04I didn't expect to see you here.
48:06I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:10I multitask.
48:13I multitask.
48:14Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:18You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:25And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:31Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:32Three ex employees in a live-less video.
48:35What's next?
48:36A bake sale?
48:38Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:40You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:43And what real loyalty looks like.
48:55Sean, glad you could make it.
49:00We have something very special to show you.
49:05Vic.
49:09I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:13Congratulations.
49:14Thank you, Sean.
49:15It's good to see you.
49:17Let's begin the pitches.
49:20You ready to lose?
49:22You're out of your league.
49:23You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:34First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:55Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
50:06Beautiful work.
50:08Both themes.
50:13We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:15After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:25Maison Laveau.
50:28Oh, my God.
50:30Of course.
50:32This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:35What the hell did you people put me in?
50:47Are you trying to kill me?
50:49Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:52Who designed this tuxedo?
50:54Did you even read the brief?
50:55I mean, you must have read the brief.
51:01It's not complicated.
51:02It says no synthetic blends.
51:05I mean...
51:06It must be some kind of mistake.
51:08Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:10A mistake?
51:12I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:15Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last aside.
51:20I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:31I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:34And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:37She actually pays attention.
51:38After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:43The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
51:46Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:52Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:54That's why they picked her first.
52:00Maybe everyone should see this.
52:07Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:11That's a new low.
52:16Even for you.
52:21Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:25So you know,
52:27I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:32Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:35We're suspending all collaborations.
52:37Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:51You're blacklisted.
52:57Victoria, please.
53:06Victoria, please.
53:07I'll do anything.
53:10Please, just help me save the company,
53:12the brand you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:18Now you live with them.
53:20Yes.
53:21Why don't you go too far?
53:29Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer
53:31crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:34Social media is already calling it
53:36the Winter Revolution.
53:45To the best comeback in fashion history
53:48and to the women who made it happen.
53:51And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:54Mom, you might want to see this.
54:10Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:14Happy birthday to you!
54:16Guys, look!
54:24Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:26Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:30Ouch!
54:31I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:34It's strange, isn't it?
54:35I gave them everything.
54:41Late nights, weekends,
54:44all the best years,
54:45and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:49Now it's all crashing down.
54:50I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:52Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:56Relief, sure,
54:58but also a little bit of grief.
55:01Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:04Look at this!
55:05Jevent pushes for paid leave
55:09and parental support across all industries.
55:13Victoria, this is you!
55:15You did this!
55:17Here's to a future
55:18where women don't have to choose
55:21between their families and their careers.
55:23Not just for us,
55:24but for every woman who comes after.
55:28Careful, Vincent.
55:29I almost forgot the best part.
55:35Victoria Winter.
55:47Will you marry me?
55:53Yes!
55:54A thousand times yes!
55:56Woo!
55:56Woo!
56:05I've been spending all my time
56:08just trying not to fill out the way.
56:15Give me love when this is...
56:17Best birthday ever!
56:18Perfect.
56:19You came.
56:36I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:38I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:42When word got out, you left.
56:44Clients bailed.
56:46The board freaked.
56:48Numbers tanked.
56:49I couldn't stop it.
56:52You steered Maison Laveau
56:54into this storm, Holly.
56:59I know.
57:00I know.
57:02My father...
57:05The stress gave him a heart attack.
57:07He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:09I destroyed everything.
57:12My thoughts, slashing costs,
57:14would save us,
57:15but instead I gutted the company.
57:17I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:22Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:24I bought it.
57:26Last week.
57:27The brand,
57:29the archives,
57:30even the debt.
57:31It's part of J'Ven now.
57:34If you want it,
57:35why would you do that?
57:36To make sure that no more women
57:38have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:44You win, Victoria.
57:47I hope you do better than I did.
57:49I'll do it differently.
57:53Goodbye, Holly.
57:54Miss Wintour,
58:11I just...
58:13I wanted to thank you.
58:14Because of your campaign,
58:17my company gave me maternity leave.
58:20I can keep working and...
58:23I have my baby.
58:25You changed everything.
58:29Congratulations.
58:30Wishing you and your little one
58:32every happiness.
58:32I have my baby.
58:42Ready?
58:47Always.
58:47And now, Jovan's new collection
59:01Designed by Victoria Wintour and your team
