02:25Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called.
02:31He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:37since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:55But there's a condition.
02:58We need to slash costs immediately.

03:08Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:12Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:18In fact, they deserve a promotion.

09:36high school feels like another lifetime doesn't it
09:39so it's true
09:52great victoria winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving mison labo's milan collection
09:57how would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this
10:11what are you getting at exactly i'm talking about you and me
10:20partners you're genius my money no corporate bs no one holding you back
10:28i've got a baby to think about now and i have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery
10:42just saying
10:47vincent chevalier wow you didn't expect to see the head of joven our corporate nemesis strolling into the office
10:54got your spine
10:58don't mind me i'm just giving victoria your
11:02soft landing
11:04triple her salary corner office
11:07you know before the vultures at ld or chanel swoop in
11:11oh so you're dumpster diving now
11:13rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas
11:17wow that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing victoria's designs head to toe
11:24i mean the jacket it's victoria's spring collection right earrings it's victoria's collaboration with
11:30cartier if her work is so far beneath you maybe you should just strip
11:37shit shit shit what are you talking about victoria designed all of this
11:49actually those were my designs
11:55what did you just say the spring collection the cartier pieces
12:00i designed them under your supervision of course but they came for me
12:05oops looks like you've been backing the wrong horse vincent
12:09i thought you were better than this
12:13then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago
12:19so what sketches get past her and all the time it doesn't prove squat
12:27maybe she was your little what do they call it
12:31dress designer
12:33and the logo
12:36the ew woven in victoria's signature mark it's been on every major piece she's designed for years
12:43well mia explain it make me shut up
12:50it'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 victoria's daughter is emily winter her newborn is grace winter
13:06it's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs
13:10yeah is there a special ew and gw in your life too well mia tell them tell them you designed this
13:18tell them you saved milan the logo it's it's adapted based on traditional motifs
13:28you lying little bitch that promotion was for saving the company
13:33look at the logo again it's not ew or gw it's actually two m's mm for mc michael my last name
13:52see one m flipped one upright it's not for grace or emily it's mine
14:00that is absolutely ridiculous oh my god she's right it does look more like two n's
14:10you manipulative bitch you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer

21:47this woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief she's been stealing designs from my creative director for years
21:53it's true she took my work and passed it off as her own i've slaved away on those designs day and night
22:05and victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own
22:12that's just the tip of the iceberg isn't it victoria your entire career is based on lies and manipulation
22:18that's enough holly
22:22everyone thinks you're this creative genius but i know what you really are your personal life is just
22:27as fake as the so-called talent did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry
22:35that's her real design strategy stop it holly you're embarrassing yourself and those kids she's so proud
22:41of who knows who their real products are who knows who their real products are how dare you
22:50miss jenkins listen michaels it's a disaster in there there's something wrong with the collection
22:55it's the fabric not now
23:03primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights the dresses are literally falling apart
23:10we've only got 50 minutes left until showtime is this some kind of sick joke are you canceling the
23:15show because of your incompetence this is completely unprofessional i have 10 million invested in this
23:22collection this is breach of contract it's actually fixable oh you can't seriously be thinking about
23:33helping you backstabbing vultures breaking news from paris fashion week mason's mofo appears to be
23:41imploding underneath new leadership sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before
23:46showtime the question on everyone's mind is this the end for the once prestigious fashion
23:51this show doesn't happen you're personally liable for the breach penalties we're talking billions
24:01home
24:10the
24:12the
24:14the
24:16the
24:18the
24:20the
24:22the
24:24What's this?
24:28Now.
24:30How?
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.
25:06Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:11Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:15Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:23We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:36Excuse me.
25:38Excuse me.
25:40It's okay, punk.
25:41I'll be right back.
25:42What do you want, Nia?
25:53Vic, I really need your help.
25:56Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:01Look, I know you're furious.
26:04I would be too.
26:04But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:08What about them?
26:09Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:12If we tank, they're done.
26:14Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:17Please, 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.
26:29Please, Vic.
26:31Not for me.
26:32For them.
26:33For it's weird.
26:34I would have expected them to be here in Paris,
26:37you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:39What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:44They...
26:45They couldn't make it.
26:47Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:50Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:58Fine.
27:01I'll help you.
27:02But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:05Not for you.
27:16Oh, my God.
27:18It's Victoria Winter.
27:19The Nuclear Vec.
27:21I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric now.
27:31I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:33Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:36Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:41Can this work?
27:42Vincent, how did you...
27:51I figured you might need some supplies,
27:54so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:57This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors.
28:04Why would you help them?
28:07I'm not helping them.
28:10I'm helping you.
28:13I 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.
28:20It's yours now.
28:23I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:27Then what do you want?
28:30You.
28:32What?
28:33You're a talent.
28:38You're a vision.
28:40Come and work as Joven.
28:43I'm in.
28:45I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:48Just like that.
28:49Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:53I hate it when I'm calling you.
29:01I wish I was cool.
29:03Like the new girl at school.
29:05I regret it.
29:06So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:10I want me better.
29:12Don't ever take you.
29:16I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:20She's doing it in minutes.
29:22What would have taken us hours.
29:24Whoa.
29:25No wonder they call her the nuclear vic.
29:28It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:32The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:40Five minutes till showtime.
29:41You made it.
29:47Woo!
29:52Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:58We're good.
29:58Everything's back on track.
30:01See?
30:02I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:04You've got twice her talent.
30:07Yeah.
30:08Right.
30:08This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:12You fixed us, it's not make them.
30:20To Victoria.
30:23The real hero of the night.
30:24Mom, you're insane.
30:37I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:41I couldn't have done it without you.
30:42You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:54Well, well, still hanging around.
30:57I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:00Fraud.
31:02Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:06What are you talking about?
31:08Just ask the models.
31:10Any of them.
31:11Oh, and Mia.
31:14Don't forget about our agreement.
31:16About Miranda and Pauline.
31:18I won't.
31:24Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
31:32Speaking of new beginnings.
31:35Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:40I want to help.
31:41With her education.
31:43What?
31:44Vincent, that's too much.
31:46We barely know each other.
31:48Victoria.
31:50I've known you since we were 17.
31:52I remember watching you win that regional competition in 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.
32:09Do you remember that?
32:10Do you remember that?
32:11I remember everything.
32:14I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:21Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:23Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24You were married.
32:25And then you weren't.
32:28And then you were building your career, and the timing was never right.
32:35Until now.
32:37I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:50I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:52I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:54I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:56I should probably get this.
33:10Mia?
33:16God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:24And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:29Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:34Sean Gosling?
33:36The Sean Gosling?
33:38The very one.
33:39Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:42And if you play your cards right, the next face of Maison LeBeau's handswear.
33:47They're taking pitches now.
33:49If he picks yours, this changes everything. For you, for the brand.
33:54Word is, Joven's in the running too.
33:57Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:05Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:08I've got this Holly, you won't regret it.
34:12God, what am I gonna do? I can't design menswear.
34:22I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:29If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:37Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
35:02Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks. Miranda and Pauline are also named.
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:18Please, wait, there's more to it.
35:20After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:24Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:27I've been fighting for them.
35:29Are you serious?
35:30Pauline's due any day now.
35:32Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:36If we land it, I can paint into quality 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 a new tuxedo concept right before I left Maison L'Homme.
35:52Really? What concept?
35:58Well...
35:59Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:02I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:06Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:09I do.
36:10Actually, I...
36:11I took them with me when I left Maison L'Homme.
36:12I took them with me when I left Maison L'Homme.
36:13Wait.
36:26Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:27How exactly is she part of this project?
36:29Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:32Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How 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.
36:44Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:48Of course, Vic. Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:55You need to know that. Take all the time you need.
36:59Mia, don't make me regret trusting you. Again.
37:22Pumpkin, I need a quick favor. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:28The Sean Gosselin one with the black hat and lapels?
37:31That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:39Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
37:42Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about the...
37:48Shoulder. Instruction.
37:52Mom, are you okay?
37:58Miranda? Vic?
38:00Mom, mom, what's going on?
38:08Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:11Brenda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:16Bills don't pay themselves.
38:17You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:24Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the golfing project.
38:27What? Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:34After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:38No severance, no cover, nothing. Just gone.
38:42That's completely illegal.
38:45Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:50All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:54And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:58Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:01And Mia knew about all this.
39:09Mia. Front 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.
39:27What?
39:29That bitch!
39:32This ends now.
39:39Damn it!
39:40Miss Michael, you just arrived from Milan. We need approval by noon.
39:50Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:02What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:05Victoria would never treat us.
40:06I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:13Then where is she now?
40:15Gone. Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:19Oh, at least she could actually design it.
40:27What the hell is going on here?
40:30Just a great disagreement. Everything's in control.
40:33It's the Gosling page. Tell me you have something presentable.
40:36Of course, I'm just finalizing Cindy, please.
40:42Show me.
40:44It's not quite ready.
40:45Now.
40:52This is 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.
41:07What's that?
41:13It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:21get me when I'm designed with you tomorrow morning or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:38I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:51Right on cue.
42:02Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:04Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:08The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:12She'll get her a sketch.
42:13And that's when we spring the trap.
42:29You're early.
42:30Vic.
42:31I really need that sketch.
42:33I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:44Holly's all over me about this.
42:46If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:52Still lying, Mia.
42:53You never learn.
42:55Guess it's payback time.
42:57So, do you want my help or not?
42:59I can walk you through it.
43:01Your design could be just as good.
43:03She's such a snake.
43:06Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:09Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:12Fine.
43:13Don't touch anything.
43:31I'm sorry, Vic.
43:42Survival of the fittest.
43:56You just let her take your work?
43:57She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:04You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:07Go after the same clients.
44:09Show them what real design looks like.
44:11We're not out yet.
44:26Or there's a revolution room.
44:27I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:38You're welcome, mom.
44:39I want you and your team as your van.
44:48Full creative control.
44:51I'm Miranda.
44:52Your husband's debt.
44:53Handled.
44:55And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:58Mr. Chevalier, I'm Pauline.
45:03Your sister is in good hands.
45:05The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:08It's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:14Don't thank me.
45:15Thank Victoria.
45:17I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:19Vincent, I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
46:19And you're still here.
46:38Final tweaks.
46:39The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:51And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:56Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:06We're about to make the streets.
47:11Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13Satin black lapels.
47:23Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:27A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:29I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:40What is that bitch doing here?
47:42Thank you Mr. Jenkins for clearing out your best talent.
47:50My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:55I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:02Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:11You 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 woman talk, you know.
48:24Three X and threes on a vinyl CEO.
48:28What's next?
48:28A fake sale?
48:31Laugh all you want Holly.
48:32You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:36And what real loyalty looks like.
48:45Sean, 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.
49:12You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:49Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
50:00Beautiful work.
50:02Both teams.
50:03We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:14After careful consideration, we're awarding project to...
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:21Oh, yeah!
50:23Oh my god.
50:24Of course.
50:27This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:32What the hell did you people put me in?
50:43Are you trying to kill me?
50:44Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:47Who designed this tuxedo?
50:49Did you even read the brief?
50:50I mean, did you...
50:54You must have read the brief.
50:56It's not complicated.
50:57It says no synthetic blends.
51:00I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:03Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:10Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:14why 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.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:35After reviewing all of the entries,
51:37the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:45Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:51That's why they picked her first.
51:56Maybe everyone should see this.
51:57Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:13That's a new low.
52:14Even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:22So 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.
52:52Victoria, please.
53:06Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:16You made your choices, Holly.
53:18Now you live with them.
53:19You finally went too far.
53:29Sean 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.
53:45To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:58Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:02You 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.
54:34I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:40I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:47I gave them everything.
54:49Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:57Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:01Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:02Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:08Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:11Look at this.
55:14Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:20Victoria, this is you.
55:22You 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.
55:36You almost forgot the best part.
55:49Victoria Winter.
55:54Will you marry me?
55:59Will you marry me?
56:04Yes.
56:05A thousand times, yes.
56:07Woo!
56:08Woo!
56:08Woo!
56:19Woo!
56:20Woo!
56:20Woo!
56:21Woo!
56:21Woo!
56:22Woo!
56:22Woo!
56:23Woo!
56:23Woo!
56:24Woo!
56:25Woo!
56:25Woo!
56:26Woo!
56:27Woo!
56:27Woo!
56:28Woo!
56:29Woo!
56:45You came.
56:46I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:49I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out you left, clients bailed.
56:55The board freaked, numbers tanked.
57:00I couldn't stop it.
57:03You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:06I know.
57:18I know.
57:18I know.
57:20I know.
57:21My father, the stress gave him a heart attack.
57:26He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:27I destroyed everything.
57:30I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:36I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:40Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:42I bought it.
57:43I bought it last week.
57:45The brand, the archives, even the debt.
57:50It's part of Given now.
57:52If you bought 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.
58:06I hope you do better than I did.
58:09I'll do it differently.
58:12Goodbye, Holly.
58:25Miss 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.
58:49You changed everything.
58:52Congratulations.
58:54Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
59:06Ready?
59:10Always.
59:10And now, Jovan's new collection.
59:23maintain new collection.
59:29to be continued.
59:31Thank you so much for watching.
59:32We have some connections, a Редактор, a recent posting,
59:34and updates with others.
59:34Thank you, Alex accountability.
