Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:14The system crashed mid-upload.
00:00:16Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:00:18Wrong everything.
00:00:20No.
00:00:22I'm on runways in 48 hours.
00:00:26If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead.
00:00:30Not just fire, we're dead.
00:00:32Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:00:35Come out here and talk to us.
00:00:37We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:00:40I haven't fasted your boat.
00:00:42Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:00:56Enough.
00:01:00Vic!
00:01:02Mia, Japanese indigo.
00:01:06Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
00:01:10Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:14Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:20It's 28 minutes?
00:01:22The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now.
00:01:28Tick tock.
00:01:30I'm done.
00:01:48Crisis averted.
00:01:50I swear to god you're not human.
00:01:5427 minutes!
00:01:56Holy shit, pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
00:02:07Vet, are you okay?
00:02:11Just practice some hacks, nothing to-
00:02:17Oh my god, your water broke.
00:02:26Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:31Multitasking is my superpower, pumpkin?
00:02:36Dad 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 is more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:57Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
00:03:05We need to slash costs immediately.
00:03:09Layoffs?
00:03:13That's it without leave.
00:03:16Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:20Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
00:03:26In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
00:03:33No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:41Boss, the Milan collection crisis? A burden.
00:03:45Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:47You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
00:03:49Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
00:03:58Oh my god, is this really happening?
00:04:00She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:06Oh my god.
00:04:11But, Victoria-
00:04:12Don't worry about her.
00:04:13That useless prego is not fired.
00:04:16You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
00:04:22I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:31Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:32And that could be a Milan runway?
00:04:39Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:43Enough for your full tuition of private school.
00:04:46Mom, you ain't have to.
00:04:48We're going to that private school.
00:04:50No discussion.
00:04:52Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:56I love you, Mom.
00:05:10Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
00:05:15After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:26Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
00:05:46What the hell?
00:05:48Listen up, everyone.
00:05:50Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:52Effective immediately.
00:05:54You can't just do that.
00:05:56She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58They're a loss against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:03She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
00:06:06Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:06:12Everything okay here?
00:06:16Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Winter, you're fired.
00:06:20Clear out your desk now.
00:06:32You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
00:06:34I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.
00:06:38Three times.
00:06:42Well, that's ancient history.
00:06:44Ancient history.
00:06:45The board wants fresh blood.
00:06:48And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:56I'm the one who...
00:06:59Mia, you.
00:07:03Feel that curve.
00:07:05That's her signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
00:07:07How could you?
00:07:09I taught you everything you know.
00:07:11I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:13I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:16What happens to my team?
00:07:17Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
00:07:21Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
00:07:22I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:27I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:36What happens to my team?
00:07:38Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
00:07:44Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
00:07:48Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
00:07:53These jobs are their lifelines, health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
00:07:58You can't just throw them away.
00:08:01Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
00:08:04No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
00:08:11Or we can shift the math.
00:08:13You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
00:08:19Think of it as taking one for the team.
00:08:24Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
00:08:28And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
00:08:31They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:33Come on, babe, because they care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:41People still realize theiréping她 is both in that classroom and they feel present.
00:08:42Don't take a care of the time for her.
00:08:43They can't lose sight when they hear the memory of the family.
00:08:44They can't lose sight now.
00:09:16Fine, that's my seventh package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:36Careful, I got you.
00:09:39Vincent?
00:09:45Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:47Hi.
00:09:49High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:09:55So, it's true.
00:10:07Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's
00:10:13Milan collection.
00:10:15How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
00:10:23Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
00:10:29What are you getting at exactly?
00:10:31I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:33Pardon us.
00:10:34Your genius, my money.
00:10:39No corporate BS.
00:10:40No one holding me back.
00:10:41I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:42And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:57Just saying.
00:10:58Vincent Chevalier, wow.
00:10:59You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
00:11:12That was my hand.
00:11:13Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here.
00:11:19Soft landing.
00:11:21Triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:24You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:29Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
00:11:31Rescuing the washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
00:11:35It's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
00:11:40I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:46The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
00:11:49If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
00:11:55Shit, shit, shit.
00:11:58What are you talking about?
00:12:00Victoria designed all of this.
00:12:02Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:14What did you just say?
00:12:15The spring collection.
00:12:17The Cartier pieces.
00:12:19I designed them.
00:12:21Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
00:12:24Oops.
00:12:25Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:28I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
00:12:33Don't explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:43So what?
00:12:44Sketches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
00:12:47Maybe she was your little, what do they call it, dress designer?
00:12:52And the logo?
00:12:56The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
00:13:00It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:03Tell me, explain it, make me shut up.
00:13:06It's funny.
00:13:07All those pieces.
00:13:08From the Milan collection that everyone's using.
00:13:09They all have EW and GW so they, too.
00:13:10Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:11Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:12It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs,
00:13:31Mia.
00:13:32Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
00:13:35Well, Mia, tell them.
00:13:37Tell them you designed this.
00:13:39Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:42The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch.
00:13:52That promotion was by saving the company.
00:13:59Look at the logo again.
00:14:01It's not EW or GW.
00:14:04It's actually two M's.
00:14:07M-M for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:14See?
00:14:15One M flipped.
00:14:16One upright.
00:14:17It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:20It's mine.
00:14:22It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:25Oh my god, she's right.
00:14:27It does look more like two M's.
00:14:31Human, they've been a little bitch.
00:14:33You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:37You learned well, Mia.
00:14:38Maybe too well.
00:14:39You'll regret this.
00:14:40Not Vincent.
00:14:41You don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:43I'll be driving home, okay?
00:14:44Bye for hours outside.
00:14:45When I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it.
00:14:46Okay.
00:14:47Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:14:49Just take care of your matter of poverty, will you?
00:14:50That's right.
00:14:51Get the hell out of my company.
00:14:52Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:14:54Bye for hours outside.
00:14:55Bye for hours outside.
00:14:56When I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
00:15:03Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:07Just take care of the matter of poverty, will you?
00:15:13That's right!
00:15:14Get the hell out of my company.
00:15:15Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:24Paul and Victoria, VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week. Front row, I think you'll find it. Lightning.
00:15:43Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that.
00:15:49No severance, no warning, nothing but a box and a security escort.
00:16:00Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:04For termination, people won't practically pay for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:10Now, about Paris Fashion Week. Your designs are eagerly weighted.
00:16:14You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:27Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:33Victoria Winter. It's a nuclear vehicle.
00:16:36Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
00:16:41We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
00:16:45Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:50Wait, Maison Léveau?
00:16:53Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:58Brave of you to show up here.
00:17:00What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:05Leaving so soon?
00:17:06You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:09Does mommy dearest build you in on your little career update?
00:17:13About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:18Mom, is that true?
00:17:19Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:27Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
00:17:36My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:39If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:47Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:51Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:55That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
00:18:00Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
00:18:07If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:10That's enough.
00:18:12That's enough.
00:18:16That's enough.
00:18:18You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:21You never belonged in this world.
00:18:23Look at her.
00:18:25A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:28That dress...
00:18:31It's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:35Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:38It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:45What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:48Remove that dress.
00:18:50We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:54Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
00:18:56Come on!
00:18:58And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:01Take your hands off her now.
00:19:06Vincent.
00:19:12You're dismissed.
00:19:22You alright?
00:19:26I'm fine.
00:19:28Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:31The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:34What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:36That knockoff?
00:19:40That you're so here to trash her for?
00:19:43It's Chevenne.
00:19:45Look at the tour.
00:19:47Winter Collection.
00:19:49Not even released yet.
00:19:51Price tag?
00:19:53300,000.
00:19:55Wow!
00:19:57You gave her that.
00:19:58That's right.
00:20:00You did.
00:20:02I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted.
00:20:05Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:08Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
00:20:11Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
00:20:14He's her walking trust fund.
00:20:18Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:21It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:23You really don't understand real talent.
00:20:30Do you?
00:20:32For those of you who don't know me.
00:20:34I'm Vincent Chevalier.
00:20:37CEO of Jevenne.
00:20:38CEO of Jevenne.
00:20:40Yes.
00:20:42I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:47I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:50Your brilliance.
00:20:52Your principles.
00:20:54Your passion.
00:20:56Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:21:00Tom, did you know about this?
00:21:03I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:05But in the meantime, what I will do
00:21:09is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:14She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:19You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:22She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:24The show is about to start.
00:21:27Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit.
00:21:35The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:38Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40I could run the entire industry.
00:21:42This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:47You think you're sleeping in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:01What?
00:22:02Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:08Some people do.
00:22:11Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
00:22:15This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:16She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:29It's true.
00:22:31She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I slaved away on those designs day and night.
00:22:38And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
00:22:42That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
00:22:43Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:44That's enough, Holly.
00:22:45Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
00:22:48Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
00:22:49Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:22:53That's her real design strategy.
00:23:11Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:13And Holly, you're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:15And those kids she's so proud of,
00:23:17who knows who their real fathers are?
00:23:20How dare you!
00:23:25Listen to me, please. Listen to me, my husband.
00:23:27It's a disaster in there.
00:23:29There's something wrong with the collection.
00:23:31It's the fabric.
00:23:32Not now.
00:23:38The primary fabrics are disintegrating
00:23:41under the lights.
00:23:42The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:45We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:48Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Leval?
00:23:50Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:56I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:23:59This is breach of contract.
00:24:03It's actually fixable.
00:24:06Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping
00:24:09with backstabbing vultures.
00:24:11Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:16Maison Leval appears to be put in underneath new leadership.
00:24:19Sources say the entire collection may be canceled
00:24:21minutes before showtime.
00:24:23A question on everyone's mind?
00:24:25Is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion books?
00:24:32This show doesn't happen.
00:24:34You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:37We're talking billions, homie.
00:24:39Billions.
00:24:40One more.
00:24:49One more.
00:24:50now how the fabric supplier must have sent us effective materials i can't magically make new
00:25:14dresses in an hour you have exactly 30 minutes to make this work if you don't those breach penalties

00:35:00I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
00:35:10God, what am I going to do? I can't design menswear.
00:35:14I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:17Miranda and Felina are gone too. I'm completely on my own.
00:35:22If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:29maybe I can squeeze one more vehicle over here.
00:35:55Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:58You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
00:36:05We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux. Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
00:36:09Miranda's excellent at menswear. She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait. There's more to it.
00:36:14After Paris, Holly needed someone to play for the fabric disaster.
00:36:18Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:24Pauline's due any day now.
00:36:27Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
00:36:30If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
00:36:33Have you worked for Sean before?
00:36:35No, but I've heard you have.
00:36:38Ages ago.
00:36:40I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
00:36:43Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left Maison to the ball.
00:36:47Really? What concept?
00:36:53Well...
00:36:54Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:12I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
00:37:15Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
00:37:20I do.
00:37:21Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
00:37:26Wait.
00:37:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:30How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
00:37:37Holly's letting her work from home.
00:37:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
00:37:41Of course, Vic.
00:37:45Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:50You need to know that.
00:37:52Take all the time you need.
00:37:55Mia.
00:37:56Don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:59Again.
00:37:59Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:38:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:23The Sean Gosselin one with the black item lapels?
00:38:27That's the one.
00:38:29Can you check my home office?
00:38:30It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:35Got it.
00:38:36Grace is napping.
00:38:37The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie.
00:38:39I just need to go and check something about that.
00:38:45Shoulder.
00:38:46Instruction.
00:38:47Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:39:01Mom, mom, what's going on?
00:39:04Emily, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Miranda, what happened?
00:39:10Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12Girls don't bathe themselves.
00:39:14You met my husband, old child, with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:21Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
00:39:25What?
00:39:26Is that a story she's spinning now?
00:39:31After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No surveillance, no copper, and nothing.
00:39:38Just done.
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:41Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:48All at once.
00:39:49What are the odds, right?
00:39:51And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
00:39:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:39:59She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me, telling me her job depended on me helping her.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27That bitch!
00:40:30This ends now.
00:40:38Damn it!
00:40:43My name is Miss Michael.
00:40:45He's just arrived from Milan.
00:40:47We need approval by name for that.
00:40:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?
00:40:51What are you all looking at?
00:41:02Get back to work!
00:41:04Victoria would never treat us.
00:41:06I'm sorry.
00:41:08I heard that.
00:41:09You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:12Then where is she now?
00:41:14Gone.
00:41:15Now I'm in charge, and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:19Well, at least you've got a key designer.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29Just a creative disagreement.
00:41:32Everything's under control.
00:41:33The gauze bitch, tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's all quite ready.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:46This is garbage.
00:41:54Absolute garbage!
00:41:56I just need a little more time.
00:41:58We don't have more time.
00:41:59This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01If she then gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:08It's just some inspiration.
00:42:15I recorded for the design.
00:42:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
00:42:22Get me when you design me till morning.
00:42:24Or pack up your desk by lunch.
00:42:26I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:53Right on cue.
00:43:03Meet that sketch ASAP.
00:43:06Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
00:43:09The absolute nerve of this woman.
00:43:11She'll get her sketch.
00:43:16And that's when we spring the trap.
00:43:30You're early.
00:43:32Bec.
00:43:33I really need that sketch.
00:43:34I said I'd help.
00:43:44Not hand over my design.
00:43:46Polly's all over me about this.
00:43:49If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:54Still lying, Mia.
00:43:56You never learn.
00:43:57Guess it's payback time.
00:43:59So, do you want my help or not?
00:44:02I can walk you through it.
00:44:04Your design could be just as good.
00:44:06She's such a snake.
00:44:09Vic, my stomach is killing me.
00:44:12Can you run to the funnel and see and get something, please?
00:44:15Fine.
00:44:16Don't touch anything.
00:44:18Sorry, man.
00:44:46Survival of the fiddles.
00:44:47You just let her take your work?
00:45:02She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
00:45:07You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
00:45:11Go after the same clients.
00:45:13Show them what real design looks like.
00:45:15We're not out yet.
00:45:30Oh, there's a revolution room.
00:45:32I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
00:45:42You're welcome, Mom.
00:45:43I want you and your team as your van.
00:45:52Full creative control.
00:45:55Oh, Miranda, your husband's dead, handled.
00:45:58And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:04Mr. Chevalier, I...
00:46:06I'm Pauline.
00:46:08Your sister is in good hands.
00:46:10The best heart surgeon in the country.
00:46:13She's already prepping for her neck surgery.
00:46:16Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:18Mr. Chevalier, I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:26Vincent, I...
00:46:27I don't even know what to say.
00:46:31It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:46:34I don't even know what to say.
00:46:39I don't even know what to say.
00:46:47It's about time you, huh?
00:46:50I don't even know what to say.
00:46:51I don't know what to say.
00:46:52He's not going to say his meal.
00:46:53I have to say myoris.
00:46:54I want to tell you.
00:46:54You're here.
00:46:55Are you Yeshua?
00:46:56I don't even know what to say.
00:46:59I don't care.
00:47:01I don't care either.
00:47:01I don't care.
00:47:02I don't care.
00:47:02Let's go.
00:47:32We're here.
00:47:42And you're still here.
00:47:44Final tweaks.
00:47:45The pitch goes out tomorrow.
00:47:51You've got Grace to sleep.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:47:58And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
00:48:02And maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:11Remember, smile.
00:48:13We're about to make history.
00:48:17Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:23Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:41What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:49Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:58My company's thriving because of your generosity.
00:49:03Didn't expect to see you here.
00:49:05I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
00:49:09I multitask.
00:49:14Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
00:49:17You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in waters.
00:49:23The office is so empty.
00:49:25It echoes.
00:49:26And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:31Proud new women talk, you know.
00:49:33Three X and 3s and a vibe of CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:36A big sale?
00:49:37Laugh all you want, Holly.
00:49:41We're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
00:49:44And what real loyalty looks like.
00:49:59Sean, glad you could make it.
00:50:01We have something very special to show you.
00:50:06Pick.
00:50:07I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
00:50:13You'd never know.
00:50:14Congratulations.
00:50:16Thank you, Sean.
00:50:17It's good to see you.
00:50:19Let's begin the pitches.
00:50:22You ready to lose?
00:50:24You're out of your league.
00:50:25You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
00:50:36First up, me and McMichael.
00:50:37Maison Laveau.
00:50:57Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:50:59Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
00:51:12Thanks.
00:51:16We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:18After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
00:51:29Maison Laveau.
00:51:31Oh, my God.
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:36This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:39What the hell did you people put me in?
00:51:51Are you trying to kill me?
00:51:52Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
00:51:56Who designed this tuxedo?
00:51:57Did you even read the brief?
00:52:02I mean, you must have read the brief.
00:52:05It's not complicated.
00:52:06It says no synthetic blend.
00:52:09I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:12Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
00:52:15A mistake?
00:52:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:19Victoria.
00:52:19Please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
00:52:31I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
00:52:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
00:52:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
00:52:41She actually pays attention.
00:52:43After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:47The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:54Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:57Mia's design was the front runner all along.
00:53:00That's why they picked her first.
00:53:05Maybe everyone should see this.
00:53:12Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:17That's a new low.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:27Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31So you know,
00:53:32I will be supporting Victoria's case for design.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:41We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:43Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, please.
00:54:04Victoria, please.
00:54:16I'll do anything.
00:54:17Please just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:22You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with that.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:28Wow, you went too far.
00:54:29Sean Gosling's look tonight is a dame junior crafted by the trailblazing team at Joben.
00:54:41Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
00:54:44To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
00:54:58And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
00:55:01Mom, you might want to see this.
00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:24Guys, look.
00:55:32Maison Laveau on the brink.
00:55:35Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
00:55:38Ouch.
00:55:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:42It's strange, isn't it?
00:55:44I gave them everything.
00:55:50Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I'd feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:04Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
00:56:09Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
00:56:12Look at this.
00:56:14Jevain pushes for pay, leave, and parental support across all industries.
00:56:21Victoria, this is you.
00:56:23You did this.
00:56:25Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
00:56:31Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You must forgot the best part.
00:56:44Victoria Winzer.
00:56:52Victoria Winzer.
00:56:55Will you marry me?
00:56:57Yes.
00:56:58Yes.
00:57:03A thousand times, yes.
00:57:05Woo!
00:57:05Yeah!
00:57:05Woo!
00:57:35You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
00:57:47I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
00:57:51When word got out, you left. Clients failed.
00:57:55The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
00:58:01You stood me as on the boat into this storm, Holly.
00:58:04I know. I know.
00:58:12My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
00:58:19I destroyed everything.
00:58:22My thoughts, slashing costs, would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
00:58:29I didn't mean to pretend like this.
00:58:32Maison Laval isn't dead.
00:58:34I bought it. Last week.
00:58:38The brand, the archives, even the debt.
00:58:42It's part of Geven now.
00:58:44You've lied. Why would you do that?
00:58:47To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
00:58:52You win, Victoria.
00:58:57To help you do better than I did.
00:59:00I'll do it differently.
00:59:04Goodbye, Holly.
00:59:05Miss Wintour, I just, I want to thank you.
00:59:26Because of your campaign, my company gave me maturity leave.
00:59:32I can keep working and have my baby.
00:59:37You changed everything.
00:59:40Congratulations.
00:59:41Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
00:59:44Ready?
00:59:55Ready?
00:59:59Always.
00:59:59And now, Jovan's new collection
