00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. Wrong everything. No.
00:21Runway is 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. Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:39I have a fashion editor from Logan. Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:45Enough. Vic!
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. 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot. 27 now. Tick-tock.
01:28I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:33I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:39Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:46I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:53Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:58You fit. Are you okay?
02:08Just practice and Hicks. Nothing to...
02:11Oh my god, your water broke.
02:16Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:27Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:31Dad 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 was more comfortable than ours.
02:44That's my girl.
02:54Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
03:00We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:04Layoffs.
03:08Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malan disaster, they get immunity.
03:20In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:25No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:36Boss, the Malan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:50Oh, 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?
04:04But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless for her. I'm gonna just have fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:16I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Hold them right into the fabric.
04:29And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:36Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:39Mom, you ain't have to.
04:40You're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:51Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:06After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:12Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:28What the hell?
05:29Listen up, everyone.
05:30Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:31Effective immediately.
05:32You can't just do that.
05:33She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:34They're a loss against this.
05:35Vic worked while in labor.
05:36She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:37Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:38Everything okay here?
05:40Great timing.
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.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear out your desk now.
06:21You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times
06:25when your father could have made payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:31Well, that's ancient history.
06:33The board wants fresh blood.
06:35And Nia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:41What?
06:43I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:51Feel that curve?
06:53That's your signature.
06:55That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:57I'm the one who...
06:59How could you?
07:01I taught you everything you know.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:07I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:17What happens to my team?
07:21Miranda pulled all nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:33Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:53No real protection.
07:54But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or, we can shift the math.
07:59You sign.
08:01They stay.
08:03The budget works out.
08:05Think of it as...
08:07taking one for the team.
08:09Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, babe, because they care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:55Five grand.
08:57That's my severance package after 15 years.
08:59That's what I'm worth to them.
09:01Be careful.
09:03I got you.
09:05Be careful.
09:07I got you.
09:09Be careful.
09:11I got you.
09:13Be careful.
09:15I got you.
09:17Be careful.
09:19Be careful.
09:21I got you.
09:23I got you.
09:27Vincent?
09:29Vincent Chevalier?
09:31Hi.
09:35High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:39I got you.
09:47So.
09:49It's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:57How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:05Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:09What are you getting at exactly?
10:11I'm talking about you and me.
10:13Partners.
10:15You're genius.
10:17My money.
10:19No corporate BS.
10:21No one holding you back.
10:23I've got a baby to think about now.
10:25And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:39Just saying.
10:41Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:43You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:51Got your spy here?
10:53Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
10:59Triple her salary, corner office.
11:04You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:11Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:15Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:20I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:26The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:29If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:35Shit, shit, shit.
11:37What are you talking about?
11:39Victoria designed all of this.
11:46Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What did you just say?
11:53The spring collection.
11:55The Cartier pieces.
11:57I designed them.
11:59Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:02Oops.
12:03Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:07I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:11Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:16So what?
12:17Skitches get passed around all the time.
12:18It doesn't prove squat.
12:19Maybe she was your little...what do they call it?
12:20The dress designer?
12:21And the logo?
12:22The EW.
12:23Woven in.
12:24Victoria's signature mark.
12:25It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:26Well, Mia, explain it.
12:27Make her shut up.
12:28No.
12:29It's funny.
12:30All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in her life.
12:35They all have EW and GW so near, too.
12:36Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:37Her newborn is Grace Winter.
12:38It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
12:39It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs,
13:06Mia.
13:07Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:11Well, Mia, tell them.
13:13Tell them you designed this.
13:15Tell them you saved Milan.
13:17The logo, it's...it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:24You lying little bitch!
13:27That promotion was for saving the company.
13:30Look at the logo again.
13:35It's not EW or GW.
13:39It's actually two M's.
13:42MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:48See?
13:49One M flipped, one upright.
13:52It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:56It's mine.
13:57That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:00Oh my god, she's right.
14:01It does look more like two M's.
14:04You manipulative bitch.
14:05You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:10You learned well, Mia.
14:13Maybe too well.
14:15You'll regret this.
14:16Margaret, we don't have to sink to that level.
14:18Okay.
14:19Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:20My Ferrari's outside.
14:21I got this.
14:22You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:23for you.
14:24Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:27Just take care of the matter of Pauline, will you?
14:28That's right.
14:29Get the hell out of my company.
14:30Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:34Pauline, Victoria.
14:35VIP invitation.
14:45That's right, get the hell out of my company. Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
14:56Paul and Victoria.
15:00VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week. Front row. I didn't even find it.
15:06Lightning.
15:15Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that.
15:21No severance, no warning, nothing but a box and a security escort.
15:31Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:35Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:40Now, about Paris Fashion Week. Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48You should have kept your legs closed.
15:58Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:03Victoria Wentworth. The Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:10We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:14Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:19Wait, Maison Léveau?
16:22Well, well. The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:26Brave of you to show up here.
16:29What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:33Let's go.
16:34Leaving so soon?
16:35You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:39Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:47Mom, is that true?
16:48Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:56Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:03My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:08If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:14Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:18Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:22That's got a sting, huh?
17:24Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero?
17:29Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:35If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:38That's enough.
17:42That's enough.
17:44You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:47You never belonged in this world.
17:49Look at her.
17:51A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:55That dress.
17:57That's a cheap knockoff.
18:00Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:04It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:10What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:11Remove that dress.
18:15We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:18Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:22And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:26Take your hands off her now.
18:27Take your hands off her now!
18:30Vincent.
18:33You're dismissed.
18:37You're dismissed.
18:46You alright?
18:50You alright?
18:52Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:55The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere.
18:57What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:58What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:02That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:06It's Chauvinne.
19:08Vente Couture.
19:10Winter Collection.
19:12Not even released yet.
19:14Price tag?
19:16300,000.
19:17Wow!
19:19You gave her that.
19:21That's right.
19:23You did.
19:25I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:28Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:31Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
19:34Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:37He's her walking trust fund.
19:41Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:43It's just so predictably desperate.
19:49You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:54For those of you who don't know me,
19:56I'm Vincent Chevalier.
19:58CEO of Jevenne.
20:00And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:07I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:11Your brilliance.
20:13Your principles.
20:15Your passion.
20:17Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:21Mom, did you know about this?
20:23I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:27But in the meantime, what I will do
20:30is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:34She won't let you down, boss.
20:36You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:42She's nothing but a has-been.
20:44The show is about to start.
20:47Your seats are waiting.
20:48Holy shit.
20:50The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
20:54Talk about a power couple.
20:56They could run the entire industry.
20:58This isn't over, bitch.
21:00Wait till we see what I've prepared you to do.
21:03This isn't over, bitch.
21:04Wait till we see what I've prepared you to do.
21:16So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:19Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:28Some 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.
21:42She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:45It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:51I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
21:56And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:03That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:07Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:11That's enough, Holly.
22:12Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:18Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:22Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:27That's her real design strategy.
22:29Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:32And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:35How dare you!
22:37Chris Jenkins, Miss Michael, it's a disaster in there.
22:41There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:44Not now.
22:46The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
22:48The dresses are literally falling apart.
22:49We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
22:51Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisamovale? Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
22:53This is completely unprofessional.
22:54I have 10 million invested in this collection. This is breach of contract.
22:59It's actually fixable.
23:01Mom, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:04What?
23:05What?
23:06What?
23:07What?
23:08What?
23:09What?
23:10What?
23:11What?
23:12What?
23:13What?
23:14What?
23:15What?
23:16What?
23:18What?
23:19What?
23:20What?
23:21What?
23:22What?
23:23What?
23:24What?
23:25What?
23:26What?
23:27What?
23:28Isn't it thatific?
23:32walking.
23:34Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week?
23:37Mason's altenpho appears to be in putting underneath new leadership.
23:39Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:41The question on everyone's mind?
23:42Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion-verse?
23:47This show doesn't happen.
23:48You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:52We're talking billions.
23:53Billions.
23:54We'll make this happen.
24:18What's this?
24:19Now!
24:20How?
24:21The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:25I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:28You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:32If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:36That's billions of dollars.
24:39Then you better figure something out.
24:41Because if you don't, not only are you fired,
24:44I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:50Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:01Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:05Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:08And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:13We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:15What?
25:16Excuse me.
25:17Excuse me.
25:18It's okay, punk.
25:19It'll be right.
25:20What do you want, Mia?
25:21Vic?
25:22I really need your help.
25:23Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:24Look.
25:25I know you're furious.
25:26I would be too.
25:27Look.
25:28I know you're furious.
25:29I would be too.
25:30But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
25:31What about them?
25:32Their jobs are on the line.
25:33It's okay, punk.
25:34It's okay, punk.
25:35It'll be right.
25:36It's okay, punk.
25:37It'll be right.
25:38It's okay, punk.
25:39It'll be right.
25:40It's okay, punk.
25:41It'll be right.
25:42What do you want, Mia?
25:43Vic?
25:44I really need your help.
25:45Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:49Look.
25:50I know you're furious.
25:53I would be too.
25:54But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
25:57What about them?
25:58Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:01If we tank, they're done.
26:03Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:06Please.
26:07If you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:11Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:14Yes.
26:15Absolutely.
26:16And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:18Please.
26:19Vic.
26:20Not for me.
26:21For them.
26:22For it's weird.
26:23I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:27What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:28They...
26:29They couldn't make it.
26:30Holly cut the travel budget.
26:31Is that right?
26:32Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:33They do.
26:34Fine.
26:35I'll help you.
26:36But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
26:37Not for you.
26:38Oh my God.
26:39Oh my God.
26:40Oh my God.
26:41Oh my God.
26:44I know I don't deserve your help.
26:46They do.
26:48Fine.
26:49I'll help you.
26:50But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
26:53Not for you.
26:54Oh my God.
26:55Oh my God.
27:06Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The Nuclear Vec.
27:09I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric now.
27:20I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:22Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:25Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:30Would this work?
27:36Vincent, how did you...?
27:40I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:48This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors. Why would you help them?
27:56I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:01I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:04I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:10It's yours now.
28:12I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:15Then what do you want?
28:18You.
28:21What?
28:22You're a talent. You're a vision. Come and work as Joven.
28:31I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:34Just like that?
28:36Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:40I hate it when I'm gone.
28:41I wish I was cool. Like the new girl at school. I regret it. So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it. I want me back. Don't ever change. I'm gonna be proud of my name.
28:52She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours.
28:57Whoa. No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
28:58It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:03The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.

46:19You've got Grace to sleep.
46:23Yeah.
46:24And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:30Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:38Remember, smile.
46:40We're about to make this three.
46:44Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:47We don't follow trends.
46:49We create them.
46:49Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:03I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:07What is that bitch doing here?
47:18Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:23My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:28I didn't expect to see you here.
47:30I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:34I multitask.
47:38Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:43You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
47:48The office is so empty, it echoes.
47:51And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
47:55Pregnant women talk, you know.
47:57Three X and 3s and a rival CEO.
48:00What's next?
48:01A date sale?
48:03Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:05You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:08And what real loyalty looks like.
48:22Sean, glad you could make it.
48:24We have something very special to show you.
48:30Vic.
48:34I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
48:37Congratulations.
48:38Thank you, Sean.
48:40It's good to see you.
48:42Let's begin the pitches.
48:45You ready to lose?
48:46You're out of your league.
48:48You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
48:54First up, Mia McMichael.
48:59Maison Laveau.
49:18Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:21Beautiful work.
49:32Both themes.
49:37We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:38After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
49:49Maison Laveau.
49:51Oh, my God.
49:54Of course.
49:55This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
49:59What the hell did you people put me in?
50:10Are you trying to kill me?
50:13Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:15Who designed his tuxedo?
50:17Did you even read the brief?
50:21I mean...
50:22You must have read the brief.
50:24It's not complicated.
50:25It says no synthetic blends.
50:28I mean...
50:29It must be some kind of mistake.
50:31Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:33A mistake?
50:35I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:38Victoria.
50:39Please, tell these amateurs
50:41why you pulled your last aside.
50:43Okay.
50:47I pulled my design
50:51because the only fabric left was synthetic.
50:53I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
50:57And that's why Victoria's the best.
50:59She actually pays attention.
51:01After reviewing all of the entries,
51:03the committee has reached a decision.
51:05The commission goes to
51:06Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:08Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:14Mia's design was the front-runner all along.
51:17That's why they picked her first.
51:22Maybe everyone should see this.
51:29Wait, Mia.
51:30Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:36Not so near low.
51:38Even for you.
51:39Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
51:47And so you know,
51:48I will be supporting Victoria's case
51:51for design theft.
51:54Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
51:57We're suspending all collaborations.
51:59Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:12You're blacklisted.
52:18Victoria, please.
52:19Victoria, please.
52:30I'll do anything.
52:31Please just help me save the company,
52:33the brand you built for 15 years.
52:36You made your choices, Holly.
52:38Now you live with them.
52:41Yeah.
52:41I finally went too far.
52:43Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer
52:52crafted by the trailblazing team at JoVen.
52:55Social media is already calling it
52:56the Winter Revolution.
52:58To the best comeback in fashion history
53:08and to the women who made it happen.
53:11And to the maternity leave
53:13that actually means something.
53:17Mom, you might want to see this.
53:20Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:34Happy birthday to you!
53:40Nice.
53:41Look.
53:44Maison Laveau on the brink.
53:46Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
53:49Ouch.
53:51I guess karma has a sense of humor.
53:54It's strange, isn't it?
53:59I gave them everything.
54:01Late nights, weekends,
54:03all the best years,
54:05and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:08Now it's all crashing down.
54:10I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:12Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:15Relief, sure,
54:16but also a little bit of grief.
54:19Look.
54:20Who said that our best years are behind us?
54:23Look at this.
54:26JoVen pushes for paid leave
54:28and parental support
54:29across all industries.
54:31Victoria, this is you.
54:33You did this.
54:35Here's to a future
54:37where women don't have to choose
54:39between their families and their careers.
54:41not just for us,
54:42but for every woman who comes after.
54:46Careful, Vincent.
54:47You almost forgot the best part.
54:49Victoria Winter.
55:02Will you marry me?
55:06You're welcome.
55:07You're welcome.
55:08I'll be like,
55:09I go to bed.
55:09I can go to bed.
55:10Oh, man.
55:10Yes.
55:11A thousand times, yes.
55:11A thousand times, yes.
55:12Sometimes, yes.
55:13Woo!
55:14Yay!
55:33Best birthday ever!
55:42You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
55:55I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
55:58When word got out you left. Clients bailed.
56:03The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:08You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:14I know. I know.
56:18My father...
56:20The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:25I destroyed everything.
56:28My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:34I don't mean for it to end like this.
56:37Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
56:42The brand. The archives. Even the debt.
56:47It's part of Given now.
56:49If you want it, why would you do that?
56:52To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
56:57You win, Victoria.
57:02To help you do better than I did.
57:04I'll do it differently.
57:07Goodbye, Holly.
57:10Miss Winter, I just... I wanted to thank you.
57:30Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
57:35I can keep working and have my baby.
57:40You changed everything.
57:43Congratulations.
57:45Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
57:57Ready?
58:01Always.
58:05And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Lintour and Martins.
