Short filmTranscript
00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! The system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season! Wrong everything!
00:20No! We're on runways in 48 hours! If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead! Not just fire, we're dead! Company collapses, our careers are over!
00:35Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:39I have a fashion editor for both of us right now! One word for me, your industry toys in here!
00:50Enough!
01:00Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:13Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2427 now. Tick-tock.
01:27I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:34I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes!
01:40Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will stop.
01:45I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes!
01:5327 minutes!
01:54Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:04Vic! Are you okay?
02:08Just...Rax and Hicks. Nothing to-
02:10Oh my god, your water broke!
02:15Your water broke!
02:22Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:27Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:32Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:36I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:45Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs immediately.
03:03Layoffs?
03:05Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster, they get immunity.
03:20In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:24No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:31Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director starting today?
03:52Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:54She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:57I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:00But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless.
04:08There I go, there's no fire.
04:14You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:17I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Hold them right into the fabric.
04:25And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:36Enough 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.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:50I love you, Mom.
04:52Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:07After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:10I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:22Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:37What the hell?
05:38Listen up, everyone.
05:39Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:42Effective immediately.
05:44You can't just do that.
05:46She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48They're a loss against this.
05:50Vic worked while in labor.
05:53She's the creative backbone of Maison Nouveau.
05:56Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:58These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:02Everything okay here?
06:06Great timing.
06:08Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear out your desk now.
06:14You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:24I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:28Three times.
06:31Well, that's ancient history.
06:35The board wants fresh blood.
06:37And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:45What?
06:46I'm the one who...
06:49Mia, you...
06:52Feel that curve?
06:54That's her signature.
06:55That's what makes it Maison Nouveau.
06:57How could you?
06:58I taught you everything you know.
07:00I wish things were different, Vic.
07:13I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:27Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:32Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:37Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:41These jobs are their lifelines.
07:43Health insurance.
07:44Paid maternity leave.
07:45Basic human dignity.
07:46You can't just throw them away.
07:49Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:52No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:54No real protection.
07:55But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:59Or we can shift the math.
08:02You sign.
08:03They stay.
08:04The budget works out.
08:06Think of it as...
08:08Taking one for the team.
08:12Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:15And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:18They can't lose their jobs.
08:24Come on, babe.
08:25You say you care about them.
08:27Prove it.
08:38It's crazy.
08:39I have to sleep before...
08:41How's that?
08:42Five grand.
08:43That's my severance package after 15 years.
08:44That's what I'm worth to them.
08:46I'll never be.
08:47But, you know, I'm not even more than Batgirl, but I'm not even more than a Fazio.
08:49I'm not even more than a Ha-Isle.
08:50Five grand?
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:06That's what I'm worth to them.
09:20Careful, I got you.
09:30Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:34Hi.
09:37High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:41So, it's true.
09:53Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Maison Laveau's Milan collection.
10:02How 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.
10:13What are you getting at exactly?
10:17I'm talking about you and me.
10:21Partners.
10:22Your genius, my money.
10:26No corporate BS.
10:28No one holding you back.
10:34I've got a baby to think about now.
10:36And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:47Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:49You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:55Got your spy here?
10:56Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
11:07You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:11Oh, so you're dumpster diving now, rescuing 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, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:29The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:32If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:37Strip.
11:39Shit, shit, shit.
11:41What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:51What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:02Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:05Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
12:12Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:19So what? Skitches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:24Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:27Guest designer?
12:29And the logo?
12:31The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:36It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:39Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:41It's funny, all those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in our world.
12:56They all have EW and GW so near too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:02Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:04It'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.
13:17Tell them you designed this.
13:19Tell them you saved Milan.
13:21The logo, it's...
13:24It'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.
13:46MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:52See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:55It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:59It's mine.
14:01That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:04Oh my god, she's right.
14:05It does look more like two Ms.
14:09You manipulative bitch.
14:11You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:15You learned well, Mia.
14:18Maybe too well.
14:20You'll regret this.
14:21Come on, Vincent.
14:25We don't have to sink to their level.
14:27Okay.
14:29Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:30My Ferrari is outside.
14:32And I got this.
14:33You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:40Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of Miranda and Polly, will you?
14:47That's right, get the hell out of my company.
14:52Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:00Paul and Victoria.
15:04A VIP invitation.
15:05Paris Fashion Room.
15:07Front row.
15:08I think you'll find it.
15:10Lightning.
15:11Every pregnant woman fired.
15:21All of us.
15:23Just like that.
15:25No severance.
15:26No warning.
15:27Nothing.
15:28But a box and a security escort.
15:30The S Group.
15:35Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:39Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:44Now, about Paris Fashion Room.
15:47Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:52You should have kept your legs closed.
15:54Stop.
16:03Oh my god, mom.
16:05This is insane.
16:06I can't believe we're actually here.
16:08Victoria Winter.
16:09The Nuclear Vic.
16:11Your mom's basically a legend.
16:12You know that, right?
16:15We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Levaux.
16:19Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:21Wait.
16:24Maison Levaux?
16:27Well, well.
16:28The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:31Brave of you to show up here.
16:33What's next?
16:34Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:38Leaving so soon?
16:40You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:43Is mommy dearest building you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:51Mom, is that true?
16:55Don't worry.
16:56She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:00Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:03Still pretending she matters.
17:08My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:11If Maison Levaux was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:19Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:23Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:27That's got a sting, huh?
17:29Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:33But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:39If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:42That's enough.
17:47That's enough.
17:49You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:52You never belonged in this world.
17:54Look at her.
17:56A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:00That dress.
18:02It's a cheap knockoff.
18:05Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:09It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:15What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:18Remove that dress.
18:19We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:24Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:27Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:31Take your hands off her now.
18:35Listen.
18:41You're dismissed.
18:42You're dismissed.
18:51You all right?
18:55You all right?
18:57Looking for-
18:58Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:01The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:04What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:05That knockoff that you so eager to trash her for?
19:12It's Chauven.
19:14Haute Couture.
19:16Winter Collection.
19:18Not even released yet.
19:20Price tag?
19:22300,000.
19:24Wow!
19:25You gave her that.
19:26That's right.
19:28You did.
19:30I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:34Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:37Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy!
19:40Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:42He's her walking trust fund.
19:46Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:49It's just so predictably desperate.
19:52You really don't understand real talent.
19:58Do you?
20:00For those of you who don't know me.
20:02I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:05CEO of Jeven.
20:08And yes.
20:10I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:14I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:17Your brilliance.
20:19Your principles.
20:20Your passion.
20:23Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:27Mom?
20:28Did you know about this?
20:30I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:33But in the meantime, what I will do
20:36is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:40She won't let you down, boss.
20:45You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:47She's nothing but a has-been.
20:50The show is about to start.
20:53Your seats are waiting.
20:59Holy shit.
21:01The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:04Talk about a power couple.
21:06They could run the entire industry.
21:07The entire industry.
21:09This isn't over, bitch.
21:11Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:13It's over.
21:14It's over.
21:15It's over.
21:16It's over.
21:17It's over.
21:18It's over.
21:19It's over.
21:20It's over.
21:21It's over.
21:22It's over.
21:23So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:25Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:32Some people too.
21:34Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:39This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:40She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:42It's true.
21:43She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:44I've slaved away on those designs day and night.
21:47And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
21:49Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
21:50Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
21:51That's enough, Holly.
21:52I've been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:54It's true.
21:55She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:58I've slaved away on those designs day and night.
22:03And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:08That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:13Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:17That's enough, Holly.
22:21Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:24Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:29Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:33That's her real design strategy.
22:36Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:38And those kids she's so proud of?
22:40Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:42Oh, get you!
22:48Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Michaels.
22:50It's a disaster in there.
22:51There's something wrong with the collection.
22:53It's the fabric.
22:55Not now.
22:56The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:05The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:08We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:10Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Laveau?
23:12Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:15This is completely unprofessional.
23:18I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:21This is breach of contract!
23:23It's actually fixable.
23:29Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:35Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:38Maison Laveau appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:41Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:44The question on everyone's mind?
23:46Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
23:54This show doesn't happen.
23:56You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:59We're talking billions, Holly.
24:01Billions.
24:14What's this?
24:15Now.
24:16How?
24:17The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:33I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:37You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:40If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:44That's billions of dollars.
24:46Then you better figure something out.
24:48Because if you don't, not only are you fired,
24:51I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:04Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:09Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:13Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:16And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:21We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:22What?
25:23Excuse me.
25:24Excuse me.
25:25It's okay, punk.
25:26I'll be right.
25:27What do you want, Mia?
25:28Vic?
25:29I really need your help.
25:30Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:31Look.
25:32I know you're furious.
25:33I know you're furious.
25:34I know you're furious.
25:35I would be too.
25:36But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
25:37What about them?
25:38What about them?
25:39Their jobs are on the line with this show.
25:40If we don't know you're furious.
25:41I know you're furious.
25:42I would be too.
25:43But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
25:44What about them?
25:45Their jobs are on the line with this show.
25:46If we tank, they're done.
25:47Holly will fire them without a second thought.
25:48If we tank, they're done.
25:50Holly will fire them without a second thought.
25:52Please.
25:53If you care about them keeping their jobs, just hopefully we'll be okay.
25:56We're done.
25:57We're not.
25:58We're out.
25:59I've been shooting them for a second.
26:00We're out.
26:01But we're out.
26:02We're out.
26:03We're out.
26:04We're out.
26:05We're out.
26:06Hey, good.
26:07Let's go.
26:08Oh, my mom.
26:09Menu.
26:10Mom, I'm demeaning.
26:11Oh, your dad.
26:12I'm so skilled.
26:13We're out.
26:14I'm so skilled.
26:15That's it.
26:16I'm so skilled.
26:17their jobs. Just help us out. Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show. Yes, absolutely.
26:23And they're counting on this being a hit. Please, not for me, but that. I would have expected
26:33them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show. What exactly happened
26:37to them, Mia? They couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:47Is that right? Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help. They do. Fine. I'll help you.
27:00But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline, not for you.
27:04Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear VEC. I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining
27:20fabric now. I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:33Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread? Would this work?
27:46Vincent, how did you... I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring
27:53over Joven's emergency kit. This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:02Why would you help them? I'm not helping them. I'm helping you. I can't ask you to do this
28:11without giving me something in return. I have a design I've been saving. Something special
28:18I've never shown anyone. It's yours now. I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:24Then what do you want? You. What?
28:34Your talent. Your vision. Come and work as Joven. I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:44Just like that? Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:54I hate it. When I'm gone. I wish I was cool. Like the new girl at school. I regret it.
29:03So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it. I want me back. Don't ever change.
29:13I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:17She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours?
29:21Whoa. No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:25It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:29The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:37Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
29:39Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
29:42Woo.
29:43Woo.
29:49Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:54We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:57See, I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice your talent.
30:01you've got twice your talent yeah this is exactly why I promoted you fix this
30:09does not make them
30:16to Victoria the real hero of the night
30:31mom you're insane I can't believe you actually fix that disaster in under an
30:36hour couldn't have done it without you you know if you start dating before you
30:43work together it doesn't count as an office romance
30:50well well still hanging around I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your
30:55face at the after party fraud Holly why don't you ask the models what
31:00happened backstage tonight what are you talking about just ask the models any
31:06of them oh and Mia don't forget about our agreement about Miranda and Pauline
31:19to new beginnings such a fan
31:24speaking of new beginnings Emily's private school applications to do next
31:33month right I want to help with their education what Vincent that that's too
31:42much we barely know each other Victoria I've known you since we were 17 I remember
31:51watching you win that regional competition and that silver dress the one you made from scratch
31:58I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world
32:05you remember that I remember everything
32:08I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again
32:18why didn't you ever reach out we were married and then you weren't and then you were building your
32:27career timing just was never right until now
32:33I have been waiting for 20 years to keep moving

46:26And you're still here.
46:28Final tweaks.
46:29The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:34You've got Grace to sleep.
46:39Yeah.
46:40And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:46Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:54Remember, smile.
46:56We're about to make this week.
47:00Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:03We don't follow trends.
47:05We create them.
47:05Satin black lapels.
47:13Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:16A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:19I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:23What is that bitch doing here?
47:35Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:39My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:44I didn't expect to see you here.
47:47I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:51I multitask.
47:55Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:59You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategies work in wonders.
48:04The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:07And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:11Pregnant woman talk, you know.
48:14Three exit please and arrive in the CEO.
48:17What's next?
48:17A fake sale?
48:19Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:21You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:24And what real loyalty looks like.
48:26Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:41We have something very special to show you.
48:46Vic.
48:50I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
48:54Congratulations.
48:55Thank you, Sean.
48:56Vic.
48:56It's good to see you.
48:58Let's begin the pitches.
49:01You ready to lose?
49:03You're out of your league.
49:05You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:15First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:17Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:38Beautiful work.
49:49Both themes.
49:50We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:55After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to Maison Laveau.
50:08Oh shit.
50:09Oh my God.
50:11Oh my God.
50:11Of course.
50:12This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:16What the hell did you people put me in? Are you trying to kill me?
50:30Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk. Who designed his tuxedo?
50:34Did you even read the brief?
50:38I mean, you must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
50:43It says no synthetic blends.
50:46I mean, it must be some kind of mistake. Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
50:51A mistake? I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:55Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:07I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:12I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:14And that's why Victoria is the best. She actually pays attention.
51:19After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:23The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:27Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:32Nia's design was the front runner all along.
51:35That's why they picked her first.
51:36Maybe everyone should see this.
51:42Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:51That's a new low. Even for you.
52:01Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:05So you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:12Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:15We're suspending all collaborations.
52:27Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:31You're blacklisted.
52:36Victoria, please.
52:38Victoria, please.
52:49I'll do anything.
52:50Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
52:55You made your choices, Holly.
52:57Now you live with them.
53:00She finally went too far.
53:02Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer
53:11crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:13Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:24To the best comeback in fashion history
53:27and to the women who made it happen.
53:30And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:36Mom, you might want to see this.
53:49Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:54Happy birthday to you!
53:55Guys, look!
54:03Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:05Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:09Ouch!
54:10I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:13It's strange, isn't it?
54:14I gave them everything.
54:20Late nights, weekends,
54:23all the best years,
54:24and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:28Now it's all crashing down.
54:29I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:32Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:35Relief, sure,
54:36but also a little bit of grief.
54:38Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:42Look at this!
54:45Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support
54:48across all industries.
54:51Victoria, this is you!
54:53You did this!
54:55Here's to a future
54:56where women don't have to choose
54:58between their families and their careers.
55:00not just for us,
55:02but for every woman who comes after.
55:06Careful, Vincent.
55:07You almost forgot the best part.
55:20Victoria Winter.
55:24Will you marry me?
55:26Yes!
55:31A thousand times, yes!
55:33Woo!
55:33Woo!
55:34Yay!
55:34Woo!
