00:00Shit! No no no no no no no!
00:12The system crashed mid-up, look!
00:14Half the collection is the wrong season!
00:16We're on everything!
00:18No!
00:20The runaway is in 48 hours!
00:24If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead!
00:28Not just fired, but dead!
00:30Company collapses, our careers are over!
00:33Come out here and talk to us!
00:35We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:38I have a fashion editor promote, right now!
00:41One word for me, you're into some poison!
00:43Enough!
00:58Vic!
01:00Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:03Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:08Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1928 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot!
01:2327 now.
01:25TikTok.
01:45I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:47I swear to god, you're not human!
01:5027 minutes!
01:52Holy shit!
01:53Pre-orders are flooding in!
01:54This will shatter every record!
02:03Vic!
02:04Are you okay?
02:07Just...frax and hicks, nothing to...
02:09Oh my god, your water broke!
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called.
02:31He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:35I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:54Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:56But, there's...a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs.
03:01Immediately.
03:03Layoffs?
03:07That's it without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:13Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster...
03:18They get immunity.
03:20In fact, um...
03:22They deserve a promotion.
03:23No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis? A burden.
03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually...
03:45How about I make you the new creative director?
03:48Starting today.
03:50Oh, my God, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:00But...Victoria...
04:02Don't worry about her. I'm not useless if I go in a snack fire.
04:05You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:07I hid something in the design.
04:09Your initials and now little graces.
04:10Hold them right into the fabric.
04:11And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:13Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:15Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:17Mom, you ain't have to.
04:18You're going to that private school.
04:20No discussion.
04:21and now little graces.
04:23Hold them right into the fabric.
04:29And that's gonna give them a long runway?
04:33Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:39Mom, you ain't have to.
04:41You're going to that private school.
04:43No discussion.
04:45Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:51I love you.
05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:09I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:11Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:27What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:39Victoria 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.
05:51She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance,
05:57these preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:59Everything okay here?
06:01Great timing.
06:03Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:05Clear out your desk now.
06:09You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:27Too many times.
06:31Whoa.
06:32That's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:44What?
06:45I'm the one who...
06:48Mia, you...
06:51Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:01How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:11I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:24What happens to my team?
07:26Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:32Things got so bad she had to get hair.
07:34Implants.
07:36Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Lou.
07:41These jobs are their lifelines.
07:43Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:52No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:55But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:58Or, we can shift the math.
08:01You sign.
08:03They stay.
08:04The budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:11Noelle is still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:15And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:18They can't lose their jobs.
08:24Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:35Prove it.
09:02Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:06That's what I'm worth to them.
09:21Careful.
09:23I got you.
09:29Vincent?
09:31Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:37High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:49So, it's true.
09:53Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Misan Labo's Milan collection.
09:58How 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?
10:12I'm talking about you and me.
10:13Partners.
10:14You're genius.
10:15My money.
10:16No corporate BS.
10:17No one holding you back.
10:18I've got a baby to think about now.
10:19I've got a baby to think about now.
10:20And I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery.
10:28Just saying.
10:29Just saying.
10:30Vincent Chevalier.
10:31Wow.
10:32Vincent Chevalier.
10:33Vincent Chevalier.
10:34Wow.
10:35You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:39Got your spine here.
10:40Don't mind me.
10:41I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
10:44Vincent Chevalier, wow!
10:49You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spy here?
10:59Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:04Triple her salary, corner office.
11:07You know, before the vultures at Aldi or Chanel swoop in.
11:11Mom, 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.
11:24I 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, then maybe you should just strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit!
11:40What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:55What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:05Oops. Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:10I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:14Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:19So what? Skitches get past her and all the time, it 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. It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:43Mom, Mia, explain it. Make me shut up.
12:46It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:56They all have EW and GW so many, too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:05It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:11Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:15Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:21The logo, it's... it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:28You lying little bitch!
13:31That promotion was for saving the company!
13:37Look at the logo again.
13:39It's not EW or GW.
13:43It's actually two Ms.
13:46M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:52See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:56It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:00It's mine.
14:01That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:05Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two Ms.
14:10You manipulative bitch.
14:11You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:16You learned well, Mia.
14:19Maybe too well.
14:20You'll regret this.
14:21Markinson, we don't have to sink to that level.
14:27Okay.
14:28Then let me drive you home, Mary.
14:30My Ferrari's outside.
14:31And I got this. You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:40Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:42I'll just take care of my other apology, Mia.
14:49That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:51Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:54Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:04VIP invitation.
15:06Paris Fashion Week.
15:07Front row.
15:08I think you'll find it.
15:10Enlightening.
15:11Every pregnant woman fired.
15:22All of us.
15:24Just like that.
15:26No severance.
15:27No warning.
15:28Nothing.
15:29But a box and a security escort.
15:36Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:39Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my riding star.
15:45Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:47Your designs are eagerly weighted.
15:52You should have kept your legs closed.
15:54Oh my god, mom.
15:55This is insane.
15:56I can't believe we're actually here.
15:57Victoria Wintour.
15:58The Nuclear Vic.
15:59Your mom's basically a legend.
16:00You know that, right?
16:01We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison-Levaux.
16:02Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:03Wait.
16:04Maison-Levaux?
16:05Les Lauvaux?
16:07Well well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:20Brave of you to show up here.
16:33up here. What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall? Leaving so soon? You haven't
16:40introduced me to your princess. Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career
16:46update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore? Mom, is that true? Don't worry.
16:57She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills. Ladies and
17:01gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters. My mom is one of the most talented
17:11designers in this entire room. If Ms. Honniveau was putting people like you in charge of the
17:17business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn. Well, look at that. It seems entitlement
17:22runs in the family. Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it. That's
17:28got a sting, huh? Exposes unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind
17:32of hero. But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard
17:39working children. If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:44That's enough.
17:45You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world. Look at her. A jobless
17:57single mom still pretending she can afford couture. That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:06Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic. It's insulting to everyone here
18:11who actually deserves to be here. What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:19Remove that dress. We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:25Hey, stop it. Let go of my mom.
18:29Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:32Take your hands off her now.
18:37Vincent.
18:41You're dismissed.
18:52You all right?
18:56You all right?
18:58I'm fine.
18:59Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:02The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere? What the hell is he doing with
19:06Victoria?
19:08That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for? It's Chauven.
19:16Haute couture.
19:17Winter collection.
19:19Not even released yet.
19:21Price tag?
19:23300,000.
19:24Wow!
19:26You gave her that.
19:27That's right.
19:29I did.
19:29I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:35Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:37Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:41Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:43He's her walking trust fund.
19:47Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:50It's just so predictably desperate.
19:52You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:01For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:06CEO of Jevain.
20:09And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:13I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:19Your brilliance.
20:21Your principles.
20:22Your passion.
20:25Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:28Mom, did you know about this?
20:31I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:34But in the meantime, what I will do
20:36is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:42She won't let you down, boss.
20:43You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:49She's nothing but a has-been.
20:52The show is about to start.
20:54Your seats are waiting.
21:00Holy shit.
21:02The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:05Talk about a power couple.
21:07They could run the entire industry.
21:10This isn't over, bitch.
21:12Wait, shall you see what I've prepared for you?
21:24So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:27Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:36Some people, too.
21:41Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:46This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:50She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:53It's true.
21:54She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:59I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:03And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:12That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:15Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:20That's enough, Holly.
22:20Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:26Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:31Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:35That's her real design strategy.
22:37Stop it, Holly.
22:38You're embarrassing yourself.
22:40And those kids she's so proud of?
22:42Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:43How dare you!
22:49Miss Jenkins, listen, Michaels.
22:52It's a disaster in there.
22:54There's something wrong with the collection.
22:55It's the fabric.
22:57Not now.
23:03The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:06The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:09We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:12Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Mavale?
23:14Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:17This is completely unprofessional.
23:20I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:23This is breach of contract.
23:27It's actually fixable.
23:30Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:37Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:39Maison Mavale appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:43Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:47The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion lives?
23:55This show doesn't happen.
23:57You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:00We're talking billions, Holly.
24:02Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:04Billions.
24:04Billions.
24:04Billions.
24:04Billions.
24:04Billions.
24:05Billions.
24:05Billions.
24:05Billions.
24:05Billions.
24:06Billions.
24:06Billions.
24:06Billions.
24:06Billions.
24:06Billions.
24:07Billions.
24:09Billions.
24:28Now.
24:31How?
24:31The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:34I can't magically make new dresses in an hour!
24:38You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:41If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:45That's billions of dollars.
24:48Then you better figure something out.
24:50Because if you don't, not only are you fired,
24:53I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:04Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:11Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:14Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:22We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:34Excuse me.
25:37Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, Papa. I'll be right back.
25:47What do you want, Mia?
25:52Vic, I really need your help.
25:55Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:59Look, I know you're furious.
26:03Yes, I would be too.
26:05But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:08What about them?
26:09Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:11If we tank, they're done.
26:13Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:16Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs,
26:20just help us out.
26:22Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:25Yes, absolutely.
26:26And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:28Please, Vic, not for me.
26:31For them.
26:32It's weird.
26:33I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:38What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:40They... they couldn't make it.
26:45Holly cut the travel budget.
26:47Is that right?
26:49Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:57Fine.
26:58I'll help you.
27:01But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:05Oh my god.
27:18It's Victoria Winter.
27:19The nuclear beck.
27:20I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:23Now.
27:24I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:31Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:34Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:37Can this work?
27:41Vincent, how did you...
27:51I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven as emergency kit.
27:58This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:07I'm not helping them.
28:10I'm helping you.
28:12I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:16I have a design I've been saving.
28:18Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:21It's yours now.
28:23I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:26Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:36You're a talent.
28:38You're a vision.
28:40Come and work as Joven.
28:42I'm in.
28:44I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:47Just like that.
28:48Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:56I hate it when I call her.
29:00I wish I was cool.
29:02Like the new girl at school.
29:04I regret it.
29:06So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:09I want me by it.
29:11Don't ever take you.
29:14I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:18She's doing it in minutes.
29:21What would have taken us hours.
29:23Whoa.
29:24No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:27It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:31The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:35I've learned how to be myself.
29:39Five minutes till showtime.
29:41You made it.
29:42Woo!
29:47Woo!
29:54Well?
29:55Do we pull the plug or not?
29:57We're good.
29:58Everything's back on track.
30:00See?
30:01I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:04You've got twice her talent.
30:06Yeah.
30:07Right.
30:08This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:11You fix this, it's not make them.
30:20To Victoria.
30:22The real hero of the night.
30:24Mom, you're insane.
30:25I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:40I couldn't have done it without you.
30:43You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:49Well, well.
30:50Still hanging around.
30:51I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:52Fraud.
30:53Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:54What are you talking about?
30:55Just ask the models.
30:56Any of them.
30:57Oh, and Mia.
30:58Don't forget about our agreement.
30:59About Miranda and Pauline.
31:00I won't.
31:01I won't.
31:02I won't.
31:03I won't.
31:04I won't.
31:05Two new beginnings such event.
31:06Speaking of new beginnings.
31:23Speaking of new beginnings.
31:34Emily's private school application is to do next month, right?
31:38I want to help with her education.
31:42What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:46Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:52I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:58In that silver dress. The one you made from scratch.
32:02I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:09You remember that?
32:11I remember everything.
32:14I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:22Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24You were married.
32:27And then you weren't.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:31The timing was just never right.
32:35Until now.
32:37I've been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:49I should probably get this.
33:05Mia?
33:14God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:20That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:24And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:28Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:33Sean Gosling?
33:35The Sean Gosling?
33:37The very one.
33:38The three-time Oscar winner.
33:40People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:41And if you play our cards right, the next face of Maisel Nouveau's handswear.
33:46They're taking pitches now.
33:48If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:51For you.
33:52For the brand.
33:53Word is Joven's in the running too.
33:57Land this.
33:58Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:05Seal the deal?
34:06I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:08I've got this, Holly.
34:10You won't regret it.
34:18God, what am I gonna do?
34:20I can't design menswear.
34:22I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Paulina are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:30If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:37maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:57Thanks for meeting me.
34:59I know things are complicated between us.
35:00You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:01Cut to the chase.
35:02We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
35:03Miranda and Pauline are also named.
35:04Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:05She can handle this without me.
35:06Please, wait.
35:07There's more to it.
35:08After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:10Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:11I've been fighting for them.
35:12Are you serious?
35:13Are you serious?
35:14Holly's due any day now.
35:15Trust me, I know.
35:16This project is our only shot.
35:17If we land it, I can payment to Holly to keep them both.
35:18Have you worked with Sean before?
35:19No, but I've heard you have.
35:20Ages ago.
35:21I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:22Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo costume,
35:23and I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
35:28I've been fighting for them.
35:29What?
35:30Are you serious?
35:31Holly's due any day now.
35:33Trust me, I know.
35:34This project is our only shot.
35:36If we land it, I can payment to Holly to keep them both.
35:39Have you worked with Sean before?
35:41No, but I've heard you have.
35:43Ages ago.
35:45I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:48Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison alone.
35:53Really?
35:54What concept?
35:58Well...
36:13Perfect.
36:14She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:17I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:24I do.
36:26Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Lavelle.
36:31Wait.
36:32Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:35How exactly is she part of this project?
36:38Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:43Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:46Of course, Vic.
36:48Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:52You need to be done.
36:56Take all the time you need.
36:58Mia.
36:59Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:02Again.
37:03Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:04Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:16The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:17That's the one.
37:18Can you check my home office?
37:19It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:21Got it.
37:22Grace is napping.
37:23The perfect timing.
37:24Thanks, sweetie.
37:25I just need to double check something about the...
37:27Shodder.
37:28Instruction.
37:29Mom, are you ok?
37:30I don't know.
37:31Can you see all the tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:32The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:33That's the one.
37:34Can you check my home office?
37:35It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:37Got it.
37:38Grace is napping.
37:39The perfect timing.
37:40Thanks, sweetie.
37:41I just need to double check something about the...
37:44Shoulder.
37:46Instruction.
37:47Mom, are you ok?
37:52What?
37:54Miranda?
37:58Vic?
38:04Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:06Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:10Miranda, what happened?
38:12Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:14Bills don't feed themselves.
38:16You met my husband.
38:18Old child with no paycheck.
38:20And now there's a newborn at home.
38:22Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the galsing project.
38:28What?
38:30Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:32After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:38No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:40Just gone.
38:42That's completely illegal.
38:44Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:50All at once.
38:52What are the odds, right?
38:54And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:58Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:02And Mia knew about all this.
39:08Mia.
39:10Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:14Didn't even blink.
39:16Too busy admiring her shiny new create and direct to the title.
39:20She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:24Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:26What?
39:28That bitch!
39:30This ends now.
39:34What?
39:50Damn it!
39:52Miss Michael, her sister arrived from Milan.
39:54What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
40:05Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:09I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:13Then where is she now? Gone.
40:16Now I'm in charge, and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:20Well, at least she could actually design it.
40:24What the hell is going on here?
40:30Just a great disagreement. Everything's in control.
40:33The Gosling page. Tell me you have something presentable.
40:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:42Show me.
40:44It's not quite ready for-
40:45Now!
40:51This is garbage.
40:52Absolute garbage!
40:54Absolute garbage!
40:55I just need a little more time.
40:57We don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:00If your fan gets this deal instead of us...
41:06What's that?
41:12It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:15I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:20get me a winner, design me till morning,
41:22or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:24I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:26I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:31Right on cue.
41:33I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:38I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:45Right on cue.
41:47I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:50I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:54Right on cue.
41:56Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:59Miranta and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:03The absolute nerve of this woman!
42:05She'll get her a sketch.
42:06And that's when we spin the trap.
42:08You're early.
42:29Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:38I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:43Holly's all over me about this.
42:45If I don't have something tonight,
42:47Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:50Still lying, Mia.
42:52You never learn.
42:54Guess it's payback time.
42:56So, do you want my help or not?
42:59I can walk you through it.
43:00Your design could be just as good.
43:02She's such a snake!
43:06Vic, my stomach is killing me!
43:08Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:11Fine.
43:12But don't touch anything.
43:38Sorry, Vic.
43:41Survival of the fittest.
43:43You just let her take your work?
43:57She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:00You know, boss.
44:01We could pitch ourselves.
44:02Go after the same clients.
44:03Show them what real design looks like.
44:04We're not out yet.
44:05We're not out yet.
44:12Or there's a revolution room.
44:13Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:17You're welcome, Mom.
44:18I want you, and your team, as your van.
44:20I want you, and your team, as your van.
44:22Full creative control.
44:23I'm Miranda.
44:24Your husband's dead.
44:25I want you, and your team, as your van.
44:29I'm Miranda.
44:30I'm Miranda.
44:31Your husband's dead.
44:32Handled.
44:33And every casino in the country, has been told he's not welcome.
44:36Mr. Chivallier, I...
44:37I'm Pauline.
44:38Your sister is in good hands.
44:40The best heart-serveer that she has ever seen in her.
44:43I'm going to...
44:44And every one of my friends, who has ever seen me in her home, I love it!
44:47You're welcome, Mom.
44:48I'm going to meet our family.
44:49You're welcome, mom.
44:50You're welcome, mom.
44:51I want you, and your team, as your van.
44:54Full creative control.
44:55I'm Miranda.
44:56Your husband's dead.
44:57Handled.
44:58And every casino in the country, has been told he's not welcome.
44:59Mr. Chivallier, I...
45:00I'm...
45:01I'm Pauline.
45:02Your sister is in good hands.
45:05The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:11Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:14Don't thank me.
45:15Thank Victoria.
45:17I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:21Vincent, I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:35I don't know what to say.
46:05I don't know.
46:35And you're still here.
46:38Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:51And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:54Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:59We're about to make history.
47:11Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13We don't follow trends. We create them.
47:21Satin black lapels.
47:24Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:26A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:29I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:39What is that bitch doing here?
47:42Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:51My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:55I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:06Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:09You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:19And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:25Three ex-employees on a vinyl CEO.
48:28What's next? The bake sale?
48:31Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:33You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:35And what real loyalty looks like.
48:39Sean, glad you could make it.
48:53We have something very special to show you.
48:59Vic.
49:03I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:07Thank you, Sean.
49:09It's good to see you.
49:11Let's begin the pitches.
49:14You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:20First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:30You're out of your league.
49:31You're out of your league.
49:32You're out of your league.
49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:50Pauline. Beautiful work. Both themes. We'll need a few minutes to discuss. After
50:14careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2... Maison Laveau.
50:23Oh my god! Of course. This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:31What the hell did you people put me in? Are you trying to kill me? Mr. Gosling has a serious
50:46allergy to synthetic silk. Who designed this tuxedo? Did you even read the brief?
50:53I mean, you must have read the brief. It's not complicated. It says no synthetic blends.
51:00I mean, it must be some kind of mistake. Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake? I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:10Victoria, please tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:24I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:28I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:31And that's why Victoria is the best. She actually pays attention.
51:35After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:42It's okay.
51:45Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Mia's design was the front runner all along. That's why they picked her first.
51:56Maybe everyone should see this.
52:03Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:10I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
52:13That's a new low, even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:23So you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:33We're suspending all collaborations.
52:45Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:55Victoria, please.
53:02Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything, please. Just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:16You made your choices, Holly. Now you live with them.
53:21Why don't we go too far?
53:23Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:34Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:37To the best comeback in fashion history, and to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:59Mom, you might want to see this.
54:14Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:19Happy birthday to you!
54:20Guys, look.
54:26Maison Laveau on the brink.
54:30The scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:33Ouch.
54:34I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:37It's strange, isn't it?
54:39I gave them everything.
54:48Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:57Now it's all crashing down. I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:59Honestly, it's a weird mix. Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:08Look, who said that our best years are behind us? Look at this.
55:14Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:20Victoria, this is you. You did this.
55:24Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:30Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:34Careful, Vincent. You almost forgot the best part.
55:49Victoria Winter.
55:53Will you marry me?
55:59Will you marry me?
56:04Yes.
56:05A thousand times, yes.
56:07Woo!
56:08Yeah!
56:12Take my heart, let go for your hands.
56:18I've been spending all my days just trying to feel the way.
56:22You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:36I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out you left. Clients bailed.
56:57The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
57:01You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:14I know. I know. My father. The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:27I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:36I didn't mean to pretend like this.
57:41Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it last week.
57:47The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
57:52If you want it, why would you do that?
57:56To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
58:04You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.
58:09I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.
58:22Miss Winter, I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:39Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:44I can keep working and have my baby.
58:48You changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
59:06Ready?
59:10Always.
59:18And now, Jovan's new collection.
