Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. We're on everything.
00:00:20Runway is in 48 hours. If productions start with these batch designs, we're all dead. Not just fire, we're dead. Company collapses, our careers are over. Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:00:40They're the batch ninja. Right now, one word for me, your industry toys in here.
00:00:59Enough.
00:01:01Mick!
00:01:04Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:18Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:22It's 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now. Tick tock.
00:01:34I'm done. Crisis averted.
00:01:52I 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.
00:02:0127 in the morning.
00:02:07Pet, are you okay?
00:02:09Just practice and fix, nothing to...
00:02:15Oh my god, your water broke.
00:02:20Mom, we're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:31Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
00:02:35Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
00:02:43since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:50Well, 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.
00:03:15Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:18Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
00:03:26In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
00:03:29No way, Visitori went to where saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:41Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted.
00:03:45Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:47You saved the entire collection? Impressive.
00:03:49Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today.
00:03:57Oh my God, is this really happening?
00:04:00She's offering me Victoria's job?
00:04:03I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:11But, Victoria...
00:04:11Don't worry about her.
00:04:13I'm not a useless person. I'm just going to have fire.
00:04:20You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
00:04:24I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:31Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:32I hid, and that's going to give him a long runway?
00:04:40Plus, 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.
00:04:51No discussion.
00:04:52Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:57I love you, Mom.
00:04:59Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
00:05:14After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
00:05:17I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:29Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
00:05:45What the hell?
00:05:47Listen up, everyone.
00:05:48Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:51Effective immediately.
00:05:53You can't just do that.
00:05:55She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58They're a loss against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:02She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
00:06:05Maternity leave, medical insurance.
00:06:08These preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:06:11Everything okay here?
00:06:16Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Winter, you're fired.
00:06:21Clear out your desk now.
00:06:23You'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.
00:06:41Well, that's ancient history.
00:06:45The board wants fresh blood.
00:06:48And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:51I'm the one who...
00:06:57Mia, you...
00:07:00Feel that crap.
00:07:04That's her signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
00:07:12How could you?
00:07:14I taught you everything you know.
00:07:16I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:27I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:30What 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.
00:07:47Implants.
00:07:49Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
00:07:53These jobs are their lifelines.
00:07:55Health 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.
00:08:07No real protection.
00:08:08But 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.
00:08:25Miranda'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.
00:08:36Come on, babe, because they care about them.
00:08:40Believe it.
00:08:43Come on, babe, because they care about them.
00:09:13Five quid.
00:09:18That's my seventh package after 15 years.
00:09:21That's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:36Careful.
00:09:38I got you.
00:09:38I got you.
00:09:43Vincent?
00:09:45Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:47High.
00:09:49High.
00:09:49High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:10:04So, it's true.
00:10:06Gray Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Nisan Laveau's Milan collection.
00:10:17How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
00:10:24Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
00:10:28What are you getting at, exactly?
00:10:29What are you getting at, exactly?
00:10:33I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:37Harlow's.
00:10:38You're genius.
00:10:40My money.
00:10:42No corporate BS.
00:10:43No one holding me back.
00:10:50I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:53And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:57Just saying.
00:11:04Vincent Chevalier, wow.
00:11:06You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
00:11:12Got your spy here?
00:11:13Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
00:11:21Triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:25You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:29Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
00:11:31Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
00:11:36It's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
00:11:40I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:47The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
00:11:50If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
00:11:57Shit, shit, shit.
00:11:58What are you talking about?
00:12:00Victoria designed all of this.
00:12:02Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:13What 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.
00:12:27I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
00:12:33Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:43So what?
00:12:44Sketches get past her and all the time.
00:12:45It doesn't prove squat.
00:12:47Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
00:12:50This designer?
00:12:52And the logo?
00:12:53The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
00:13:00It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:04Mommy, explain it.
00:13:05Make me shut up.
00:13:10It's funny.
00:13:11All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's using.
00:13:16They all have the EW and GW so they do.
00:13:19Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:23Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:27It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Nina.
00:13:31Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
00:13:36Well, Nina, tell them.
00:13:38Tell them you designed this.
00:13:39Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:41The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch.
00:13:52Black promotion is by saving the company.
00:13:58Look at the logo again.
00:14:01It's not EW or GW.
00:14:04It's actually two M's, M-M, for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:13See?
00:14:15One M flipped, one upright.
00:14:18It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:21It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:26Oh my God, she's right.
00:14:28It does look more like two M's.
00:14:30Human, if you're a little bitch, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:38You learned well, Nina.
00:14:41Maybe too long.
00:14:43You'll regret this.
00:14:46I'm not Vincent.
00:14:48We don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:52And I'll be driving home, okay?
00:14:53Bye for hours outside.
00:14:56I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
00:15:00Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:07Just take care of the matter of Pauline, will you?
00:15:13That's right, get the hell out of my company.
00:15:16Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:24Pauline, Victoria.
00:15:25A VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:31I think you'll find it.
00:15:34Lightning.
00:15:43Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:46All of us.
00:15:47Just like that.
00:15:49No severance.
00:15:51No warning.
00:15:52Nothing.
00:15:52But a box and a security escort.
00:16:00Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:04For termination people, you won't practically pay for your sign.
00:16:07Bonus made right in star.
00:16:09Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:12Your designs are eerily awaited.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:28Oh my god, Mom.
00:16:30This is insane.
00:16:31I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:33Victoria Wintour.
00:16:35It's a nuclear vehicle.
00:16:37Your mom's basically a legend.
00:16:38You know that, right?
00:16:41We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison LĂ©veau.
00:16:44Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:50Wait.
00:16:51Maison LĂ©veau?
00:16:53Well, well.
00:16:54The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:57Brave of you to show up here.
00:16:59What's next?
00:17:00Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:02Leaving so soon.
00:17:06You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:09Does Mommy dearest build you in on her little career update?
00:17:13About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:18Mom, that's true.
00:17:22Don't worry.
00:17:23She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:27Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
00:17:30Still pretending she matters.
00:17:32My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:40If Maison LĂ©veau was putting people like you in charge of the business,
00:17:44then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:47That'll look at that.
00:17:48It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:51Say whatever you want about me,
00:17:53or leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:54That's got a sting, huh?
00:17:56Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero?
00:18:02Hey, good news.
00:18:03There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
00:18:07If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:10That's enough.
00:18:16That's enough.
00:18:17You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:21You never belonged in this world.
00:18:23Look at her.
00:18:24A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:29That dress.
00:18:30It's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:38It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:41What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:47Remove that dress.
00:18:50We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:54Hey, stop it.
00:18:55Let go of my mom.
00:18:57And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:01Take your hands off for a now.
00:19:06Winston.
00:19:11You're dismissed.
00:19:21You all right?
00:19:26You all right?
00:19:27Lookin' for it.
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?
00:19:38That knockoff?
00:19:39That you're so here to trash her for?
00:19:43It's Chauvin.
00:19:46Look at the door.
00:19:47Winter Collection.
00:19:49Not even released yet.
00:19:51Price tag?
00:19:53$300,000.
00:19:55Wow!
00:19:56You gave her that.
00:19:57That's right.
00:19:59You did.
00:20:01I would give her the entire damn collection if you wanted me.
00:20:05Oh my god, everyone, mystery solved.
00:20:07Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
00:20:12Mr. 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, do you?
00:20:32For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Juventus.
00:20:38And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:46I 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.
00:20:59Tom, did you know about this?
00:21:01I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:06But in the meantime, what I will do
00:21:08is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:14She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:18You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:21She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:23The 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.
00:21:40They can run the entire industry.
00:21:43This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:53Do you seriously have been in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:04Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:09Some people, too.
00:22:15Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
00:22:18I have an important announcement.
00:22:19This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:23She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:29It's true.
00:22:30She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I slaved away on those designs, day and night.
00:22:39And 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?
00:22:50Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:54That's enough, Holly.
00:22:57Everyone thinks you're this creative genius,
00:22:59but I know what you really are.
00:23:01Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
00:23:06Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:09That's her real design strategy.
00:23:12Stop it, Holly.
00:23:13You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:15And those kids she's so proud of,
00:23:17who knows who their real products are?
00:23:21How dare you!
00:23:25Oh, it's so amazing.
00:23:26Listen, listen.
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.
00:23:33Oh, no.
00:23:33The primary fabrics are disintegrating under 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, Maisel Moval?
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.
00:24:01It's actually fixable.
00:24:07Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with back-stabbing vultures.
00:24:13Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:16Maisel Moval appears to be inputting underneath new leadership.
00:24:19Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
00:24:23A question on everyone's mind.
00:24:25Is this the end for everyone's 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.
00:24:40Billions.
00:24:40What's this?
00:25:06Now.
00:25:06How?
00:25:09The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
00:25:12I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
00:25:16You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
00:25:19If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
00:25:24That's billions of dollars.
00:25:26Then you better figure something out.
00:25:28Because if you don't, I'm running forward.
00:25:31I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:36Okay.
00:25:37Miss Winter, how do you respond to the accusations over design theft?
00:25:50Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
00:25:54Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
00:25:57And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
00:26:02We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:03What do you want, Mia?
00:26:29What do you want, Mia?
00:26:29Vic, I really need your help.
00:26:36Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
00:26:40Look, I know you're furious.
00:26:43I would be too.
00:26:45But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
00:26:48What about them?
00:26:49Their jobs are on the line with this show.
00:26:52If we tank, they're done.
00:26:54Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:56Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out with you.
00:27:03Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:06Yes, absolutely.
00:27:07And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:10Please, Vic, not for me.
00:27:13For them.
00:27:14I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
00:27:19What exactly happened to them, Mia?
00:27:25They...
00:27:25They couldn't make it.
00:27:27Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:32Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:40Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:43But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
00:27:46Not for you.
00:27:58Oh my god.
00:28:00It's Victoria Winter.
00:28:01A nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
00:28:05Now.
00:28:06Now.
00:28:06Now.
00:28:06Now.
00:28:13I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
00:28:15Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:18Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:23Would this work?
00:28:30Vincent.
00:28:32How did you...
00:28:34I figured you might need some supplies, so...
00:28:37I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
00:28:40This is perfect, but...
00:28:44Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
00:28:47Why would you help them?
00:28:50I'm not helping them.
00:28:53I'm helping you.
00:28:56I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
00:28:59I have a design I've been saving.
00:29:01Something special I've never shown anyone.
00:29:04It's yours now.
00:29:06I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:16What?
00:29:20Your talent.
00:29:22Your vision.
00:29:24Come and work.
00:29:25As you're in.
00:29:27I'm in.
00:29:28I'll work for you.
00:29:30Just like that?
00:29:31Just like that.
00:29:33Now.
00:29:34Let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
00:29:37Awesome.
00:29:38She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:06What would have taken us hours.
00:30:09Whoa.
00:30:10No wonder they call it the nuclear pick.
00:30:13It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
00:30:16The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
00:30:25Five minutes to a showtime.
00:30:27We made it.
00:30:27Well, do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:43We're good.
00:30:44Everything's back on track.
00:30:46See?
00:30:46I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
00:30:50You've got twice your talent.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:54Right.
00:30:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:58Your fix-ness is not making.
00:30:59To Victoria.
00:31:08Victoria.
00:31:09The real hero of the night.
00:31:22Mom, you're insane.
00:31:23I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:27Couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:31You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:36Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:44I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face with the after party.
00:31:47Fraud.
00:31:49Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:53What are you talking about?
00:31:55Just ask the models.
00:31:57Any of them.
00:31:59Oh, and Mia.
00:32:01Don't forget about our agreement.
00:32:03About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:04I think I will.
00:32:11Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
00:32:20Speaking of new beginnings.
00:32:23Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:27I want to help.
00:32:29With her education.
00:32:31What?
00:32:32Vincent, that's too much.
00:32:34We barely know each other.
00:32:36Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
00:32:42I remember watching you win that regional competition.
00:32:47In that silver dress.
00:32:49The one you made from scratch.
00:32:50I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:58You remember that.
00:33:00I remember everything.
00:33:03I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
00:33:10Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:14We were married.
00:33:16And then you worked.
00:33:18And then you were building your career.
00:33:21Timing was never right.
00:33:25Until now.
00:33:26I have been working at him for 20 years to live.
00:33:39I should probably get this.
00:33:55Mia.
00:33:56God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:12That Milan disaster you turned around?
00:34:14Absolute magic.
00:34:14And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
00:34:20Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars' red carpet.
00:34:25Sean Gosling?
00:34:27The Sean Gosling?
00:34:29The very one.
00:34:30Three-time Oscar winner.
00:34:31People's Sexiest Man Alive.
00:34:33And if we play our cards right, the next face remains on the both ends there.
00:34:38They're taking pitches now.
00:34:40If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand.
00:34:46Where it is, Joe Ben's in the running too.
00:34:49Lanthus, Vincent, and poor Victoria are done.
00:34:56Seal the deal?
00:34:58I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly.
00:35:02You won't regret it.
00:35:10God, what am I going to do?
00:35:12I can't design men's wear.
00:35:14I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:17Miranda and Felina are gone too.
00:35:20I'm completely on my own.
00:35:22If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:30maybe I can squeeze one more vehicle over.
00:35:33Thanks for meeting me.
00:35:56I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:59You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
00:36:01Cut to the chase.
00:36:02We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
00:36:08Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
00:36:09Miranda's excellent at men's wear.
00:36:11She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait.
00:36:13There's more to it.
00:36:14After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
00:36:18Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
00:36:22I've been fighting for them.
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:25Holly's due any day now.
00:36:27Trust me, I know.
00:36:28This project is our only shot.
00:36:30If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
00:36:33Have you worked with 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 at all.
00:36:47Really?
00:36:48What concept?
00:36:49What concept?
00:36:52Well...
00:36:53Perfect, he's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:11I'll use our design to save my ass and land this project.
00:37:16Do you still have any of the sketches, Summer?
00:37:19I do.
00:37:21Actually, I took him with me when I left Maison Lebeau.
00:37:27Wait.
00:37:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:31How 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 what I'm doing.
00:37:52Take all the time you need.
00:37:55Mia.
00:37:56Don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:59Again.
00:38:11Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:38:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black side from 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.
00:38:48Mom, 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.
00:39:06Brenda, what happened?
00:39:10Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12Those don't pay themselves.
00:39:15You met my husband, old child, with no paycheck.
00:39:18And 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?
00:39:26Isn't that a story she's spinning now?
00:39:31After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:36No severance, no copper, and nothing.
00:39:38Just gone.
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:41Company lawyer 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.
00:39:59And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:07Mia.
00:40:09Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
00:40:12Didn't even blink.
00:40:14Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
00:40:19She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
00:40:22Telling 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?
00:40:55What are y'all looking at?
00:41:02Get back to work!
00:41:04Victoria would never turn this off.
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.
00:41:16And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:20Well, at least you've got a key designer.
00:41:22What the hell is going on here?
00:41:30Just a creative disagreement.
00:41:32Everything's under control.
00:41:33The gossip bitch.
00:41:34Tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course.
00:41:41I'm just finalizing the details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's not quite ready.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:46Now.
00:41:46Now.
00:41:46Now.
00:41:52This 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.
00:42:02The Shufin 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.
00:43:14She'll get her sketch.
00:43:16And that's when we spin the trap.
00:43:17You're early.
00:43:32Vic.
00:43:33I really need that sketch.
00:43:42I said I'd help.
00:43:44Not hand over my design.
00:43:46Holly's all over me about this.
00:43:49If I don't have something tonight.
00:43:51Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:54Still lying Mia.
00:43:56You never learn.
00:43:58Guess it's payback time.
00:44:00So.
00:44:01Do 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.
00:44:10My stomach is killing me.
00:44:12Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
00:44:14It's fine.
00:44:16Don't touch anything.
00:44:18Don't touch anything.
00:44:18Sorry the survival of the fiddles.
00:44:48You just let her take your work?
00:45:02She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
00:45:08You know boss, we could pitch ourselves, go after the same clients, show them what real
00:45:14design looks like.
00:45:17We're not out yet.
00:45:24I heard there's a revolution rope.
00:45:36I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
00:45:43You're welcome mom.
00:45:44I want you and your team as your vent.
00:45:50How's your vent?
00:45:51Full creative control.
00:45:57Miranda, your husband's debt handled.
00:45:59And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:03I'm Mr. Chevalier.
00:46:04I'm Pauline.
00:46:05Your sister is in good hands.
00:46:10The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
00:46:17Okay.
00:46:19Don't thank me.
00:46:20Thank Victoria.
00:46:21I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:24Vincent, I don't even know what to say.
00:46:31It's about time.
00:46:32It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:46:39See you next time.
00:46:40Bye.
00:46:41Bye.
00:46:42Bye.
00:46:43Bye.
00:46:45Bye.
00:46:47Bye.
00:47:48You've got Grace to sleep.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:47:58And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
00:48:03Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:06Remember, smile, we're about to make the sleep.
00:48:18Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends, we create them.
00:48:29Fat and 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.
00:48:47What 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.
00:49:12I 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, it echoes.
00:49:26And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:31Pregnant woman talk, you know.
00:49:32Three excellent reason if I'm the CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:37The cake sale?
00:49:39Laugh 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.
00:50:07Vic.
00:50:11I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'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.
00:50:26You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
00:50:31First up, me and McMichael.
00:50:38Maison Laveau.
00:50:57Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:51:09Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
00:51:16We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:18After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
00:51:30Maison Laveau.
00:51:31Oh, my God.
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:35This 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?
00:51:53Mr. 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.
00:52:10I 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, please, tell these amateurs
00:52:23why you pulled your last design.
00:52:32I pulled my design
00:52:33because 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.
00:52:42She actually pays attention.
00:52:43After reviewing all the entries,
00:52:45the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:47The commission goes to
00:52:49Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:51Mr. 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.
00:53:13Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:16That's a new low.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:27Maison Laveau
00:53:28will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31And so you know,
00:53:32I will be supporting
00:53:34Victoria's case for design.
00:53:36That's it.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:41We're suspending
00:53:42all collaborations.
00:53:53Don't even think about
00:53:55trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, you...
00:54:05Victoria, 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 them.
00:54:27You finally went too far.
00:54:29Sean Gosling's look tonight
00:54:37is a dame junior
00:54:38crafted by the trailblazing team
00:54:40at Joben.
00:54:41Social media is already calling it
00:54:43the Winter Revolution.
00:54:52To the best comeback
00:54:54in fashion history
00:54:55and to the women
00:54:57who made it happen.
00:54:58and to the maternity leave
00:55:00that actually means something.
00:55:05Mom,
00:55:06you might want to see this.
00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:28Guys, look!
00:55:32Maison Laveau on the brink?
00:55:35Scandal pushes fashion giant
00:55:36towards bankruptcy.
00:55:38Ouch!
00:55:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:43Strange, isn't it?
00:55:48I gave them everything.
00:55:49Late nights, weekends,
00:55:50late nights, weekends,
00:55:52all the best years
00:55:54and they tossed us aside
00:55:55like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:05Relief, sure, but
00:56:06also a little bit of grief.
00:56:08Look, who said that our best years
00:56:11are behind us?
00:56:12Look at this!
00:56:16Joven pushes for pay, leave,
00:56:18and parental support
00:56:19across all industries.
00:56:21Victoria, this is you.
00:56:23You did this.
00:56:26Here's to a future
00:56:27where women don't have to choose
00:56:29between their families
00:56:30and their careers.
00:56:31Not just for us,
00:56:33but for every woman
00:56:34who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You must forgot the best part.
00:56:51Victoria Windsor.
00:56:56Will you marry me?
00:57:01Yes!
00:57:03A thousand times, yes!
00:57:05Woo!
00:57:05Yay!
00:57:05Woo!
00:57:06Woo!
00:57:25I love the damper!
00:57:26Woo!
00:57:27Woo!
00:57:27Woo!
00:57:27Woo!
00:57:27Woo!
00:57:27Woo!
00:57:28Woo!
00:57:29Woo!

00:57:29Woo!
00:57:30Woo!
00:57:30Woo!
00:57:31Woo!
00:57:31Woo!
00:57:31You 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.
00:57:59I couldn't stop it.
00:58:01You steered me as on the boat into this storm, Holly.
00:58:08I 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.
00:58:27Why don't you pretend like this?
00:58:32Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
00:58:36The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Given now.
00:58:43He's alive. Why would you do that?
00:58:47To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
00:58:55You win, Victoria.
00:58:57I hope you do better than I did.
00:59:01I'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 maternity leave.
00:59:32I can keep working and have my baby.
00:59:37You changed everything.
00:59:40Congratulations.
00:59:42Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
00:59:44Ready?
00:59:55Ready?
00:59:59Always.
