Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection was the wrong season. Wrong everything.
00:00:20Runway is in 48 hours. If production starts 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 corruption.
00:00:40I have a fast ninja. Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:00:59Enough. Vic!
00:01:02Mia, Japanese Indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:18Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes. 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot. 27 now. Tick tock.
00:01:32I'm done. Crisis averted.
00:01:52I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes. Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
00:02:02I swear to god, you're not human.
00:02:07Vic, are you okay?
00:02:09Just practice some hacks. Nothing to-
00:02:14Oh, my god, your water broke!
00:02:18Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:21Mom, 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.
00:02:51Well, 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, they deserve a promotion.
00:03:29No way, Miss Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:41Boss, the Milan collection crisis? A burden.
00:03:45Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:47You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
00:03:49Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
00:03:57Oh, 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 useless.
00:04:14I'm going to stop firing her.
00:04:21You 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 public.
00:04:32I hid, I'm back to the Milan runway.
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:43Enough for your full tuition at private school.
00:04:46Mom, you ain't have to.
00:04:48We're going to that private school.
00:04:51No discussion.
00:04:53Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:58I love you, Mom.
00:04:59Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
00:05:15After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:19Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
00:05:45What the hell?
00:05:47Listen up, everyone.
00:05:48Victoria Wintour is terminated.
00:05:51Effective immediately.
00:05:53You can't just do that.
00:05:55She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58There are lots against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:02She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
00:06:06Maternity leave, medical insurance.
00:06:08These preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:06:11Everything okay here?
00:06:12Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Wintour, 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 paid over.
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.
00:06:59Mia, you.
00:07:03Feel that curve.
00:07:04That's her signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
00:07:12How could you?
00:07:13I taught you everything you know.
00:07:22I 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.
00:08:10Or, we can shift the math.
00:08:14You sign.
00:08:16They stay.
00:08:17The budget works out.
00:08:19Think of it as...
00:08:22Taking 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.
00:08:32Come on, babe.
00:08:38You say you care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:41Prove it.
00:08:41Prove it.
00:09:13Five crits.
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.
00:09:43Vincent?
00:09:46Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:49Hi.
00:09:51High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:09:55So, it's true.
00:10:08Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Rizan Laveau's Milan collection.
00:10:14How 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.
00:10:29What are you getting at exactly?
00:10:31I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:37Harms.
00:10:38You're genius.
00:10:40My money.
00:10:42No corporate BS.
00:10:44No one holding me back.
00:10:46I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:53And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:59Just saying.
00:11:00Vincent 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 spine here?
00:11:16Don't mind me.
00:11:17I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
00:11:21Triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:25You know, before the vultures at L.B. 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're wearing Victoria's designs head-to-toe.
00:11:42I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:47Earrings, 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.
00:12:08Actually, 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.
00:12:28I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
00:12:33Let me explain my signature.
00:12:34On the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:38So what, sketches get past her and all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
00:12:47Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
00:12:50Best designer?
00:12:53And the logo?
00:12:56The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
00:13:00It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:03Well, let me explain it and make her shut up.
00:13:10It's funny.
00:13:11I mean, all those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's doing, they all have EW and GW, so they're too.
00:13:20Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:23Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:25It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
00:13:31Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
00:13:36Well, Mia, tell them.
00:13:38Tell them you designed this.
00:13:39Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:42The logo, it's...
00:13:44It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch!
00:13:51Black promotion is just 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.
00:14:07M-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.
00:14:20It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:27Oh my god, she's right.
00:14:28It does look more like two M's.
00:14:32Human, maybe a little bitch.
00:14:34You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:38You learned well, Mia.
00:14:41Maybe too well.
00:14:42You'll regret this.
00:14:44You're not busy.
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.
00:14:56If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it.
00:14:58Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:07Just take care of the matter of Pauline, will you?
00:15:13That's right.
00:15:13Get the hell out of my company.
00:15:15Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:18Pauline, Victoria.
00:15:28VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:31Pro, I think you'll find it.
00:15:34Lightning.
00:15:35Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:46All of us.
00:15:48Just like that.
00:15:49No severance.
00:15:51No warning.
00:15:52Nothing.
00:15:52But a box and a security escort.
00:15:55Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:04For termination, people will probably pay for your sign.
00:16:07Bonus made right in star.
00:16:10Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:12Your designs are eerily weighted.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:25Oh my god, mom.
00:16:30This is insane.
00:16:31I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:33Victoria Winter.
00:16:35The 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 Lévo.
00:16:44Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:49Wait.
00:16:51Maison Lévo?
00:16:51Well, well, the 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?
00:17:04Let's go.
00:17:05Leaving so soon.
00:17:06You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:09Does mommy dearest build you in on your little career update?
00:17:12About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:15No.
00:17:18Mom, is that true?
00:17:21Don't worry.
00:17:23She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:27Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
00:17:30Still pretending she matters.
00:17:35My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:40If Maison Lévo 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.
00:17:50Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:55That's got a sting, huh?
00:17:56Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who 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.
00:18:11That's enough.
00:18:12That's enough.
00:18:18You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:21You never belonged in this world.
00:18:23Look at her.
00:18:25A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:28That dress.
00:18:31It's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:37It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:44What 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 now.
00:19:02Vincent.
00:19:12You're dismissed.
00:19:21You all right?
00:19:26You all right?
00:19:27I'm fine.
00:19:28Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:30Hey, the reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:34What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:38That knockoff?
00:19:40That you're so here to trash her for?
00:19:43It's Chauvin.
00:19:46But Vitor.
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.
00:19:59I would give her the entire damn collection if you wanted me.
00:20:05Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:08Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
00:20:12Mr. Billionaire is not a white knife.
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?
00:20:30For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jevent.
00:20:38I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:44I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:49Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:20:59Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:20:59Mom, 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 is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:14She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:15You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:21She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:24The show is about to start.
00:21:27Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit.
00:21:35The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:38Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40They can run the entire industry.
00:21:43This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:57Did I seriously get in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:04Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:09Some people do.
00:22:15Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
00:22:20This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:24She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:27It's true.
00:22:28She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I slaved away on those designs day and night.
00:22:38And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
00:22:47That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
00:22:49Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:54That's enough, Holly.
00:22:57Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but 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, who knows who their real fathers are?
00:23:21How dare you!
00:23:25Oh, sweet, please.
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.
00:23:31What now?
00:23:33Oh, what?
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, Maison LeVos?
00:23:50Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:55I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:23:59This is breach of contract.
00:24:03It'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.
00:24:16Maison LeVos 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 one's prestigious fashion books?
00:24:28This show doesn't happen.
00:24:34You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:37We're talking billions, homie.
00:24:40Billions.
00:24:40Billions.
00:24:40Billions.
00:24:41Billions.
00:24:42Billions.
00:24:43Billions.
00:24:44Billions.
00:24:45Billions.
00:24:46Billions.
00:24:47Billions.
00:24:48Billions.
00:24:49Billions.
00:24:50Billions.
00:24:51Billions.
00:24:52Billions.
00:24:53Billions.
00:24:54Billions.
00:24:55Billions.
00:24:56Billions.
00:24:57Billions.
00:24:58Billions.
00:24:59Billions.
00:25:00Billions.
00:25:01Billions.
00:25:02Billions.
00:25:03Billions.
00:25:04Billions.
00:25:05Billions.
00:25:06How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials. I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
00:25:15You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work. If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
00:25:23That's billions of dollars.
00:25:26Then you better figure something out. Because if you don't, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:36Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
00:25:49Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
00:25:53Please respect Miss Winter's privacy. And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is. We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:05What?
00:26:15Excuse me.
00:26:17Excuse me.
00:26:19It's not K-pop. Put me around.
00:26:27What do you want, Mia?
00:26:29What are your plans?
00:26:30How do you want to go?
00:26:31Shit!
00:26:32Sorry!
00:26:33I need you to go!
00:26:35How do you want, Mia?
00:26:36I really need your help.
00:26:37A funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
00:26:39Look, I know you're furious. I would be too. But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
00:26:47What about them?
00:26:49Their jobs are on the line with the show. If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:56Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out with you.
00:27:02Miranda and Pauline must also finish the show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit. Please, like, not for me. For them, personally.
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?
00:27:24They... they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:32Victoria... I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:39Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:43But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
00:27:47Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. A nuclear beck. I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
00:28:06I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric. Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:21Do this work?
00:28:22Vincent, how did you...?
00:28:23I figured you might need some supplies, so... I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
00:28:38This is perfect, but...
00:28:44Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
00:28:50I'm not helping them.
00:28:53I'm helping you.
00:28:54I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
00:28:59I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
00:29:06I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:12You.
00:29:16What?
00:29:20Your talent. Your vision.
00:29:23Come and work as Joven.
00:29:26I'm in.
00:29:28I'll work for you.
00:29:30Just like that?
00:29:31Just like that.
00:29:33Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
00:29:41She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours?
00:29:56Whoa.
00:29:58No wonder they call her the new place.
00:30:01She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours?
00:30:06Whoa.
00:30:07No wonder they call her the nuclear peck.
00:30:12It'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.
00:30:24Five minutes to show time. We made it.
00:30:26We made it.
00:30:40Well? Do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:43We're good. Everything's back on track.
00:30:45See?
00:30:47I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice your talent.
00:30:50Yeah. Right.
00:30:51This is exactly why I promoted you. Your fixness is not Nathan.
00:31:06To Victoria.
00:31:08The real hero of the night.
00:31:09Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:27Couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:28You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:40Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:43I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
00:31:48Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:52What are you talking about?
00:31:54Just ask the models. Any of them.
00:31:58Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:03Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
00:32:04Speaking of new beginnings. Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:26I want to help. With her education.
00:32:29What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
00:32:35Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
00:32:40I remember watching you win that regional competition.
00:32:46In that silver dress. The one you made from scratch.
00:32:51I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:57Do you 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.
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:13We were married.
00:33:14And then you were building your career.
00:33:15The timing was never right. Until now.
00:33:27I have been waiting twenty years to live.
00:33:28I should probably get this.
00:33:29I should probably get this.
00:33:30I should probably get this.
00:33:34I have been working at him for 20 years to live.
00:33:53I should probably get this.
00:34:04Mia?
00:34:08God, I'm so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:11That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
00:34:15And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
00:34:19Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars' red carpet.
00:34:25Sean Gosling? Be Sean Gosling?
00:34:28The very one. Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive,
00:34:33and if we play our cards right, the next place remains on the both hands where...
00:34:38They're taking pitches now.
00:34:40If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand.
00:34:45Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
00:34:48Lanthus, Vincent, or Victoria are done.
00:34:56Seal the deal? I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
00:35:09God, what am I gonna do?
00:35:11I can't design menswear.
00:35:13I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:16Miranda and Felina are gone too.
00:35:18I'm completely on my own.
00:35:20If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:28maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over here.
00:35:33Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:45You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
00:35:50We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux. Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
00:35:54Miranda's excellent at menswear. She can handle this without me.
00:35:55Please, wait. There's more to it.
00:35:56After Paris, Holly needed someone to play for the fabric disaster.
00:35:59Miranda and Pauline are on the team.
00:36:00We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
00:36:01Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
00:36:02Miranda's excellent at menswear. She can handle this without me.
00:36:03Please, wait. There's more to it.
00:36:05After Paris, Holly needed someone to play for the fabric disaster.
00:36:07Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
00:36:09I've been fighting for them.
00:36:10Are you serious?
00:36:24Holly's due any day now.
00:36:26Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
00:36:29If 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.
00:36:37Ages ago.
00:36:39I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
00:36:42Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison.
00:36:46Really? What concept?
00:36:53Well...
00:37:03Perfect.
00:37:04Perfect.
00:37:05He's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:10I'll use her design to save my ass and learn this project.
00:37:15Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
00:37:18I do.
00:37:19Actually, I...
00:37:20I took them with me when I left Maison Lebeau.
00:37:25Wait.
00:37:26Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:30How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:32Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
00:37:38Is the company covering her health insurance?
00:37:41Of course, Vic.
00:37:43Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:47You need to leave, Holly.
00:37:48Take all the time you need.
00:37:49Mia.
00:37:50Don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:51Again.
00:37:52Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:37:53Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on?
00:37:54No.
00:37:55No.
00:37:56No.
00:37:57No.
00:37:58No.
00:37:59No.
00:38:00No.
00:38:01No.
00:38:02No.
00:38:03No.
00:38:04No.
00:38:05No.
00:38:06No.
00:38:07No.
00:38:08No.
00:38:09No.
00:38:10No.
00:38:11No.
00:38:13No.
00:38:14No.
00:38:15No.
00:38:16No.
00:38:17No.
00:38:18No.
00:38:19No.
00:38:20No.
00:38:21No.
00:38:22Hope.
00:38:23Maybe sometime before everything went sideways.
00:38:24The Shaun Gosselin one with the Black Simple Rapels?
00:38:26That's the one.
00:38:27Can you check my home office?
00:38:29It should be in the portfolio marked mens4 Animal 2025.
00:38:33Got it.
00:38:34Grace is napping the perfect timing.
00:38:37Thanks sweetie.
00:38:38I just need to go check something about that.
00:38:44Shoulder Destruction.
00:38:46Mom are you okay?
00:38:49Okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:39:01Mom! Mom! What's going on?
00:39:04Emily, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:11Those don't pay themselves. You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:20Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gasoline project.
00:39:25What? Is that the story she's spinning now?
00:39:30After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company. No surveillance, no copper, and nothing. Just gone.
00:39:38That's completely illegal.
00:39:42Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:47All at once. What are the odds, right?
00:39:51Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
00:39:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:40:04And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:06Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement. Didn't even blink.
00:40:13Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
00:40:18She'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!
00:40:29This 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.
00:40:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?
00:40:51What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
00:41:03Victoria would never turn this off.
00:41:05Miss Michael.
00:41:08I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:12Then where is she now?
00:41:14Gone.
00:41:15Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:18There's the door.
00:41:20Well, at least you've got a key designer.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29Just a creative disagreement. Everything's under control.
00:41:33Mr. Gauzy, did you tell me you have something presentable?
00:41:36Of course, I'm just finalizing something.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's not quite ready.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:51This is garbage.
00:41:54Absolute garbage!
00:41:56I just need a little more time.
00:41:58We don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01If Shufin gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:03What's that?
00:42:12It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
00:42:17I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
00:42:21get me a mini-design ritual warning,
00:42:24or pack up your desk by lunch.
00:42:25I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:26I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:56Right 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 is...
00:43:14She'll get her a sketch, and that's when we spin the trap.
00:43:22You're early.
00:43:32Vic, I really need that sketch.
00:43:35I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
00:43:42Holly's all over me about this.
00:43:49If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:55Still lying, Mia.
00:43:56You never learn.
00:43:57Guess it's payback time.
00:43:59So, do you want my help or not?
00:44:02I can walk you through it.
00:44:04Your design could be just as good.
00:44:06She's such a snake.
00:44:08Vic, my stomach is killing me.
00:44:12Can you run to the funnel and see and get some food, please?
00:44:15Fine.
00:44:16But don't touch anything.
00:44:21Sorry, then.
00:44:22Survival of the fittest.
00:44:23I'm sorry.
00:44:24Survival of the fittest.
00:44:28I'm sorry.
00:44:42I'm sorry.
00:44:45Survival of the fittest.
00:44:47You just let her take your work?
00:45:02She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
00:45:07You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
00:45:11Go after the same clients.
00:45:13Show them what real design looks like.
00:45:16Okay.
00:45:17We're not out yet.
00:45:18We're not out yet.
00:45:23I heard there's a revolution room.
00:45:37Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
00:45:42You're welcome, Mom.
00:45:47I want you and your team as your vent.
00:45:52Full creative control.
00:45:55Oh, Miranda, your husband's debt handled.
00:45:59And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:03Mr. Chevalier, I...
00:46:04Mr. Chevalier, I...
00:46:05I'm Pauline.
00:46:07Your sister is in good hands.
00:46:09The best heart surgeon in the country.
00:46:12She's already prepping for her next surgery.
00:46:14Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:18Don't thank me.
00:46:19Thank Victoria.
00:46:20I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:25Vincent, I...
00:46:28I don't even know what to say.
00:46:30It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:46:39Hey, ma'am.
00:46:40Hello, I'm August.
00:46:41I'm hey, ma'am.
00:46:42You're welcome, I'm happy.
00:46:43I'm happy to be here.
00:46:46Do you make me now?
00:46:47Yes, I have a dream.
00:46:48You're welcome, Ma'am.
00:46:50I'm happy to be here today.
00:46:51Let's go.
00:46:52Great day, come on.
00:46:53We'll never know.
00:46:54I'm happy.
00:46:55I'm happy.
00:46:56We're not good.
00:47:28We're here.
00:47:42And you're still here.
00:47:44Final tweaks.
00:47:46The pitch goes out tomorrow.
00:47:51You've got Grace to sleep.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:47:56And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
00:48:03Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:11Remember, smile.
00:48:13We're about to make history.
00:48:17Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:29Fatin black lapels.
00:48:31Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment.
00:48:34A blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:41What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:53Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:58My company's thriving because of your generosity.
00:49:03I didn't expect to see you here.
00:49:06I 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 strategy's working letters.
00:49:23The office is so empty.
00:49:25It echoes.
00:49:26And the only thing growing at Nuzon Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:31Pregnant woman talk, you know.
00:49:32Three X and 3's in a life of CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:37The sale?
00:49:39Laugh all you want, Holly.
00:49:41You'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.
00:50:07Pick.
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 for news?
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.
00:50:38Next is Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:50:59Beautiful 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 Nia overlooked something.
00:52:15A mistake?
00:52:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:19Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
00:52:23how you pulled your glasses off.
00:52:27I 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.
00:52:41She actually pays attention.
00:52:43After reviewing all the entries,
00:52:45the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:48The commission goes to
00:52:49Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:54Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:56Mia'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?
00:53:20That's a new low.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:23No.
00:53:23Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31And so you know,
00:53:32I will be supporting Victoria's case
00:53:35for design night.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:41We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:44Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, please.
00:54:04Victoria, please.
00:54:16I'll do anything.
00:54:17Please just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:22You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with them.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:28Mom, you went too far.
00:54:29Shawn Gosling's look tonight is a dame junior crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
00:54:41Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
00:54:44To the best comeback in fashion history
00:54:55and to the women who made it happen.
00:54:58And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
00:55:01Mom, you might want to see this.
00:55:08Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:28Guys, look!
00:55:32Maison Laveau on the brink?
00:55:34Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
00:55:38Ouch!
00:55:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:42It's strange, isn't it?
00:55:48I gave them everything.
00:55:50Late nights, weekends,
00:55:52all the best years,
00:55:54and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I'd feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:03It's a relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
00:56:09Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
00:56:13Look at this!
00:56:16Joven pushes for pay, leave, and parental support across all industries.
00:56:21Victoria, this is you.
00:56:23You did this.
00:56:24Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
00:56:31Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You almost forgot the best part.
00:56:46Bye.
00:56:46Bye.
00:56:46Victoria Windsor.
00:56:55Will you marry me?
00:57:01Yes!
00:57:03A thousand times yes!
00:57:05Woohoo!
00:57:05Yeah!
00:57:05Woo!
00:57:26That's my damper.
00:57:35You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
00:57:47I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
00:57:51When word got out, you left. Clients failed.
00:57:56The board freaked. Members taped. I couldn't stop it.
00:58:01You stood me as on the boat into this storm, Holly.
00:58:05I know. I know.
00:58:12My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
00:58:19I destroyed everything.
00:58:22My thoughts, slashing costs, would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
00:58:29I didn't mean to pretend like this.
00:58:32Maison Laval isn't dead. I bought it.
00:58:35Last week. The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
00:58:44People, why would you do that?
00:58:47To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
00:58:52You win, Victoria.
00:58:57I hope you do better than I did.
00:59:01I'll do it differently.
00:59:04Goodbye, Holly.
00:59:05Miss Wintour, Miss 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?
00:59:58Always.
00:59:59And now, Jovan's new collection
