Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I can't find the delivery anywhere. The entire Anya Winter-Spring collection is missing hours before the Paris runway show.
00:00:11I can't get the courier on the phone. This is a nightmare!
00:00:14Bad news. The delivery truck lost control.
00:00:1830 couture gallons. Destroyed.
00:00:21We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is Anya's biggest collection ever, okay?
00:00:27She worked on it for years, and if she comes back and we have nothing to show, we're all dead.
00:00:32What other designer besides Anya can make an entire couture collection in just hours?
00:00:38Don't worry, guys. I can handle it.
00:00:42Didn't she graduate college, like, yesterday?
00:00:45She definitely looks like she just pulled an all-nighter in a library.
00:00:47There's no way some intern who grabs coffee and schedules Anya's lunches can design a whole couture collection overnight.
00:00:53Guys, there's no time to argue. The show is in five hours.
00:00:56What are we gonna do?
00:00:58Give me that.
00:01:06And this.
00:01:10What is she doing?
00:01:15She's not even using a pattern.
00:01:16I've never seen someone beat so quickly.
00:01:19Invisible stitching, it's immaculate.
00:01:22There you have it.
00:01:24A gown fit for the Anya Winter Spring Couture collection.
00:01:32This is impossible.
00:01:34I thought you were just some delusional intern, but this dress...
00:01:39Most designers could only dream of making something so stunning.
00:01:43This is gonna launch a million dupes.
00:01:45But none of them are gonna come close to the real thing.
00:01:47I heard Anya recently hired a fashion school prodigy who designed the iconic closing look in the fall collection.
00:01:53Is that you?
00:01:55No!
00:01:57No!
00:01:58It still doesn't work!
00:02:07Um...
00:02:08Miss Winter, I'm here to...
00:02:09I'm here for the fall internship.
00:02:11It's Anya.
00:02:12Why would I have time to interview some useless errand-running baby when the fall couture show is in two days and I haven't finished my final look?
00:02:22May I?
00:02:23Sure.
00:02:24I'm so sorry that I brushed the fabric and destroyed the flowers.
00:02:34Sacrifices do need to be made in the interest of good design.
00:02:38Not everybody knows that.
00:02:40An entire team of couture legends and nobody could come up with something this inspired.
00:02:47Forget about the internship.
00:02:49You are gonna be my head designer.
00:02:52There's no time to explain.
00:02:54We need 29 more gowns to make before the show.
00:02:56It's three in the morning.
00:02:58Where are we gonna find fabric for 29 dresses?
00:03:00Take those crystals off the chandelier.
00:03:02And someone cut 20 yards of silk velvet from the curtains.
00:03:05And rip the fringe of the carpet.
00:03:07And the leather from the couch cushions.
00:03:09And any flowers stacked.
00:03:14But we're gonna destroy this place!
00:03:16Sacrifices must be made in the interest of good design.
00:03:19Anya will understand.
00:03:22Now let's kill the spaceship.
00:03:24I'm speechless.
00:03:38I'm speechless.
00:03:51I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:53This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:56Dior who?
00:03:57Anya Winters is number one in the Gatorade game now.
00:04:08You all head back to the studio.
00:04:11I'll grab some champagne.
00:04:12I can't believe Dandy completed this entire collection overnight.
00:04:18Where did she even come from?
00:04:20No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.
00:04:27What the hell is going on here?
00:04:30This is disgusting.
00:04:32Is this a design studio or the girls' bathroom of a club?
00:04:35We make groundbreaking pieces with our hands, not our big fat mouths.
00:04:40Jordan, who is this woman?
00:04:41Is she working with you on the PR team?
00:04:43PR?
00:04:44This woman is the daughter of Anya Winters.
00:04:48Vanessa got her degree from Central Saint Martins in London
00:04:51and is currently an editor for Vogue.
00:04:55And she'll be acting as CEO while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.
00:05:00Is this really the design team that created the top couture collection
00:05:04in all of Paris Fashion Week?
00:05:05Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of incompetent yappers.
00:05:08If this is about the original collection...
00:05:10I didn't ask you to speak.
00:05:13You're fired.
00:05:14Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.
00:05:21Anya Winters is now the top couture collection in the entire world.
00:05:25Time to separate the fashion icons from the frogs.
00:05:28Do you think my mother is a hard ass?
00:05:31Just you wait.
00:05:32I expect only the most original, exciting sketches,
00:05:36lightning-fast designs,
00:05:38and perfect technicality.
00:05:40And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:43Who does she think she is?
00:05:44Miranda Priestley?
00:05:45Oh my god.
00:05:50What is this?
00:05:53Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:58No!
00:05:59That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!
00:06:03Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your steam.
00:06:10Jordan, be a doll and go get her a souvenir Eiffel Tower keychain
00:06:15as a thank you for her hard work.
00:06:17Oh yeah, and by the way, you're fired!
00:06:23Okay!
00:06:24Now please, can somebody show me something?
00:06:27A collection!
00:06:29Congratulations!
00:06:33Who are you?
00:06:34You.
00:06:35You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:39You're fired.
00:06:41Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:43Danny Maxwell.
00:06:46Jordan.
00:06:47What does this lumpy little girl do here?
00:06:50Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.
00:06:52She's an intern?
00:06:54Mmm.
00:06:55So what?
00:06:56You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom
00:06:59to throw a rager
00:07:00the night before the biggest couture show
00:07:02in the history of this house?
00:07:04That's not what we...
00:07:06I would say we could take out the damages from your salary.
00:07:09But you're probably not getting paid.
00:07:11Actually, she's our highest paid employee.
00:07:13She's making over $500,000 a year.
00:07:16Jordan!
00:07:16That's...
00:07:17That's confidential.
00:07:18So you're scamming my mother?
00:07:21You know, she might be getting old, but she's not an idiot.
00:07:24And what?
00:07:26This is how you spend the money?
00:07:28No, no.
00:07:29Look, the team was up all night working.
00:07:30Our hands are cramping.
00:07:32We're tired, but we saved the spring show.
00:07:35Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:07:39Celebrate?
00:07:40By destroying a studio?
00:07:44Lying?
00:07:45Talking back to your superiors?
00:07:47Drinking on the job?
00:07:48No wonder my mother had a heart attack.
00:07:50Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:56Unless, of course, you're just as useless as she is.
00:07:59Or do you actually care about this brand's legacy?
00:08:02Jordan and I have been dating for two years.
00:08:05He knows how hard I work.
00:08:08But there's no way he's going to throw me under the bus.
00:08:10Dani's my girlfriend.
00:08:11If I take her side over committing career suicide...
00:08:13You're right.
00:08:16Dani's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.
00:08:21Jordan, seriously?
00:08:22What are you still doing here, intern?
00:08:26Pack up your shit and get out of here.
00:08:28If that's how it's going to be.
00:08:29This isn't Dani's fault.
00:08:31She's the one who saved...
00:08:32Oh!
00:08:33Do you want to go with her?
00:08:36If anyone else here helps Dani destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.
00:08:42It's okay, guys.
00:08:44Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:08:46You've all earned your spots.
00:08:48It was my fault.
00:08:53I'm leaving.
00:08:57How could you?
00:09:02We'll be back.
00:09:04Dispose of that piece of shit.
00:09:08Baby!
00:09:10I'm so sorry.
00:09:11We've been together for two years.
00:09:14You couldn't even defend me?
00:09:15She would have fired me on the spot.
00:09:18Look.
00:09:19We both know that I don't have a degree.
00:09:22And it's a miracle that you got me this job.
00:09:25And if I lose it, then...
00:09:27Then who's going to pay for all the expensive champagne that we're going to have at our anniversary dinner tonight?
00:09:35Well, you better spring for caviar, too.
00:09:38You owe me big time, Jordan.
00:09:42I promise I'm going to make it up to you.
00:09:45Let's meet tonight at eight.
00:09:47Okay?
00:09:48Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:09:52I'll see you then.
00:09:52You're frumpy little girlfriend is a recipe for bad press.
00:10:02So are those other big-mouth bitches.
00:10:06Not a good look for the PR manager.
00:10:08Thanks, not much.
00:10:09She better not be.
00:10:12Hmm.
00:10:14You're hot, you know.
00:10:16My mother wants to start a menswear line.
00:10:19You could be the PR director.
00:10:22What do you prefer?
00:10:23An unemployed fashion flop?
00:10:25Or a rich, powerful boss?
00:10:30Say it.
00:10:32Mommy.
00:10:33What else?
00:10:34What else?
00:10:37Does baby need a change?
00:10:39Baby needs a change.
00:10:41Yeah, he does need a change.
00:10:42Stinky.
00:10:43Stinky something.
00:10:45Yes, mother.
00:10:48Mm-hmm.
00:10:51Stupid people.
00:10:53They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:10:58I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:11:03I have stylists breathing down my neck after that marvel of a couture show.
00:11:08I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.
00:11:10Thank God we have her on the team.
00:11:13I know how you can be, Vanessa.
00:11:16You better treat her right.
00:11:21Maxwell?
00:11:22Oh, God.
00:11:23Is that the frumpy intern I just fired?
00:11:25Hello?
00:11:26I'm speaking to you.
00:11:27Yes, mother.
00:11:28One second.
00:11:29Is there any other Maxwell on the design team?
00:11:33I'm going to stop this at some point.
00:11:39She single-handedly saved my last two shows.
00:11:42A creative genius.
00:11:44I mean, I snatched her up right out of college to make sure those other couture houses couldn't get their hands on her.
00:11:50Without her, this whole house will crumble.
00:12:00Don't worry, mother.
00:12:02I'll treat her like a queen.
00:12:04You better.
00:12:05And there's another Maxwell.
00:12:07What is her name?
00:12:10Anyway, she is a fucking disaster.
00:12:12A brain-dead Nepo Baby intern who never shows up.
00:12:15And when she does, she's useless.
00:12:19Do me a favor.
00:12:21Fire her?
00:12:22Thank God.
00:12:24Of course, that tasteless tornado I fired was just a pointless intern.
00:12:28Don't worry, mother.
00:12:29I already handled it.
00:12:33I'll come check on things the second they discharge me from this hellhole.
00:12:39Rest up.
00:12:40And I'll take care of everything.
00:12:41I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser.
00:12:48Now, where were we?
00:12:55What the hell do you want?
00:12:58The studio phone's been ringing off the hook.
00:13:00Well, who is it?
00:13:01It's Solea's team.
00:13:03Solea?
00:13:04As in the most famous actress in the world?
00:13:06She needs a dress for the Met Gala.
00:13:07She wants to see sketches for five looks inspired by the new collection.
00:13:13In one hour.
00:13:16Oh.
00:13:17Let's hope Maxwell can pull this off.
00:13:21Where is Brynn Maxwell?
00:13:25Jordan, get Brynn on the phone and tell her nicely to get her ass here now.
00:13:30What happened?
00:13:39I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection.
00:13:43But, guess they've got bigger problems.
00:13:47Danny, the grumpy dumbass.
00:13:50She left her old sketch portfolio.
00:13:53Oh my gosh, these are iconic.
00:13:55No wonder Anya was obsessed with her.
00:13:57I rolled up hungover five hours late after almost ruining the Paris fashion show.
00:14:06I'm definitely getting fired.
00:14:08Where are you?
00:14:09We need five sketches to send to Solea's team for her Met Gala look ASAP.
00:14:13Miss Winter said if you pull this off, you'll be on fast track to becoming creative director.
00:14:19Be right there.
00:14:20Why would they ask me, a brand new intern, to dress the most famous woman in the world?
00:14:28Whatever.
00:14:29I'll use Danny's sketches and no one will know.
00:14:32Oh my gosh.
00:14:34I'm gonna be a star.
00:14:36Well, Brynn's handling it.
00:14:39Nice work.
00:14:41Man, dressing Solea, that's like, I'm so sick.
00:14:44I know.
00:14:45This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.
00:14:50And as acting CEO of this fashion house, I'll be invited to the best parties with the most rich and famous people.
00:14:58And you can be my D.
00:15:00Unless, of course, you want to go with Danny.
00:15:06Where is Jordan?
00:15:08He's 20 minutes late.
00:15:09No, I don't want her.
00:15:12I was gonna break up with her tonight anyway.
00:15:15I want you.
00:15:18Duh.
00:15:18You know, good choice.
00:15:23Guess I'll drag him here myself.
00:15:26Gosh, you're so powerful, so sexy.
00:15:30It's her anniversary, and you're fucking the woman who fired me?
00:15:42She is a fashion superstar, okay?
00:15:46And you're just...
00:15:48An unemployed loser.
00:15:50You spineless dick.
00:15:52You psycho bitch!
00:15:54Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:15:55That's it, you cheating piece of...
00:15:57Danny, Danny, you are embarrassing.
00:15:59You're so funny.
00:16:00I'm the embarrassment.
00:16:02Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.
00:16:05And now you're shoving your tongue down your new box in the throat?
00:16:09Know your place, you tacky, talentless sloth.
00:16:14Face it, Danny.
00:16:15You're a fool.
00:16:16And you can't get mad at me for...
00:16:19upgrading.
00:16:23I love you, Jordan.
00:16:25And the only reason you're here is because of...
00:16:28Because I told Anya to make you PR management.
00:16:31Are you kidding me?
00:16:33More ridiculous lies.
00:16:35You?
00:16:35You're a deadbeat intern.
00:16:37As if my mother would have anything to do with you.
00:16:41We are over.
00:16:46Danny.
00:16:46I'm calling security.
00:16:51Why don't you call your mother instead?
00:16:53The founder of this house.
00:16:56She'll tell you that you're making a huge mistake.
00:16:59Enough with the bullshit, Danny.
00:17:00It's cringe.
00:17:02Is this how you got your job here?
00:17:03By spewing insane lies?
00:17:05Hi, security.
00:17:07Yes, there's a delusional ex-employee who's refusing to leave my studio.
00:17:14Oh, Danny.
00:17:15Don't be sad.
00:17:16Look, I get it.
00:17:17I'm powerful.
00:17:19Smart.
00:17:21Experienced.
00:17:23And you?
00:17:25Well, you're jobless.
00:17:27Talentless.
00:17:28And irrelevant.
00:17:29Look, if I were you,
00:17:31I would go on home and drown your sorrows in a bottle of cheap champagne.
00:17:35Unless, of course, you'd rather spend your last night in Paris in a jail cell.
00:17:38Fine.
00:17:39I'm done here anyway.
00:17:46And where do you think you're going, Danny?
00:17:48Guards.
00:17:49She's over here.
00:17:53Who the hell are you?
00:17:54I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture Collection.
00:17:58Bryn Maxwell.
00:18:00Oh, wow.
00:18:02Well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.
00:18:06Oh, is that an archival saloon?
00:18:10Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.
00:18:13It's no wonder you created such a groundbreaking collection.
00:18:16These dumbasses don't even know that I'm totally jacking Danny's glory.
00:18:20Who cares?
00:18:21As long as Anya's daughter thinks I'm a genius,
00:18:23I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.
00:18:26Vanessa, I know who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring Collection.
00:18:34She's the one that made the routing error that caused the truck to crash.
00:18:37She's obviously trying to sabotage the brand.
00:18:40What?
00:18:40Danny's done it again.
00:18:50You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?
00:18:53Danny Maxwell?
00:18:53She was just fired from Anya Winters' fashion house.
00:18:57The show's a hit.
00:18:58How is that possible?
00:18:58Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.
00:19:01Of course.
00:19:03I would love to see the look on Anya Winters' face
00:19:06when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of a daughter fired her star designer.
00:19:09Call Danny up.
00:19:12Let's get her here.
00:19:12But Anya Winters is the number one fashion house in the world.
00:19:15We're not even ranked top ten.
00:19:17Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Danny's door already.
00:19:20You really think she would work for us?
00:19:21I'll do anything to get Danny on this team.
00:19:23Rumor has it Soleil is looking for a new designer for her Met Gelo look.
00:19:27And if we can dress the most famous woman on the planet on the biggest night in fashion,
00:19:32we'll be the new brand on top.
00:19:36Get the jet ready.
00:19:37I'm going to Paris.
00:19:37And I'm not leaving without Danny Maxwell.
00:19:44Sabotage?
00:19:45Are you kidding me?
00:19:46You can take the fall from my stupid mistake, Danny.
00:19:49Who will believe you over me?
00:19:51You were out partying all night when you should have been confirming the route with the courier.
00:19:54And you destroyed my mother's studio on your drunken bender.
00:19:58You all see me as some incompetent intern just because I'm not wearing the latest off-the-runway clothes.
00:20:03Maybe Daddy's black card can buy you Celine, but can it buy you talent, too?
00:20:07You think I caused that disaster?
00:20:10You think she is your savior?
00:20:13Well, then best of luck when Anya comes back and sees what a mess you've made.
00:20:16This is your mess, Danny Maxwell.
00:20:19I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate BS.
00:20:24Don't touch me.
00:20:26Jordan, don't let them do this.
00:20:27We both know you're not capable of handling the outcome.
00:20:29First, you threaten Brynn, and then you threaten me.
00:20:34You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Danny.
00:20:37You know, jealousy looks hideous on you.
00:20:40So, why don't you go ahead and pick up your mistakes and get the fuck out before you get locked up.
00:20:46What can they even arrest me for?
00:20:48Let's see.
00:20:50Vandalism, insubordination, and that sweater is definitely a crime against fashion.
00:20:55Don't you know that I can end your entire fashion career with one phone call to my mother?
00:20:59Then go ahead.
00:21:01Do it.
00:21:02If Vanessa calls Anya, she'll find out that Danny's the real star designer.
00:21:10Vanessa, your mom's in recovery.
00:21:13Shouldn't you go to the fashion council first instead?
00:21:16To make sure another fashion house isn't infected with Danny's terrible taste?
00:21:20Brynn's right.
00:21:21You should go right to the source.
00:21:22Do not let her get away with this.
00:21:25I have all my mother's industry contacts at my fingertips.
00:21:29I'm texting the fashion council now.
00:21:31Danny Maxwell is blacklisted from Anya Winter.
00:21:35Other designers, beware of this dangerous scammer.
00:21:40No other fashion house will want, you know.
00:21:42Good luck getting a part-time job at Forever 21.
00:21:45Guess that's that, then.
00:21:47But before I go, I have one question for you, Vanessa.
00:21:51Does Anya, the CEO and creator of this fashion house, know that you fired me?
00:21:57What kind of idiot do you think I am, Danny?
00:22:00My mother practically begged me to fire your incompetent ass.
00:22:03You thought you could roll up here in your bargain bin sweater and call yourself a fashion icon?
00:22:10Your career is so hopeful.
00:22:12Hey, security, can you take her away and throw her to something?
00:22:15Jail cell, police, whatever.
00:22:17Get your hands off of her.
00:22:23That is my new creative director.
00:22:27Danny Maxwell will join Claude Saint-Jean Fashion House.
00:22:31Claude Saint-Jean of Saint-Jean Couture?
00:22:34You came all the way from New York for me?
00:22:36Of course.
00:22:38I flew straight here.
00:22:38Nice to see you again, Danny.
00:22:43I haven't seen you since I interned at Valentino my freshman year.
00:22:46Wait, you went to Valentino with him?
00:22:50How did you get that job, Danny?
00:22:53Did you scam your way into that one, too?
00:22:57God, Danny.
00:22:58We went out and I had no idea that you were such a grifter.
00:23:01I feel so, so used.
00:23:06So this is how Anya Winter treats their most talented designers.
00:23:09You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.
00:23:12Claude, I...
00:23:13That is Mr. Saint-Jean to you.
00:23:15And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.
00:23:19Yeah, what are you, a mid-level PR pawn?
00:23:21You should probably know when to shut the hell up.
00:23:23Mr. Saint-Jean, Danny here has done irreparable damage.
00:23:27Sorry, who the hell are you?
00:23:29Obviously, I.
00:23:30I'm right. I don't have time for your rambling.
00:23:32Hey, enough!
00:23:33This idiot destroyed my mother's collection,
00:23:36wrecked her entire Paris fashion studio,
00:23:39ruined the entire couture show,
00:23:41almost lost us millions.
00:23:42And why are we still talking about her?
00:23:44Did you not ask your mother who Danny was before you fired her?
00:23:50What kind of idiot do you think I am?
00:23:54My mother runs this fashion house with an iron fist.
00:23:57Of course, I consulted her, and you know what she said?
00:24:00She said that this idiot Danny is a Nepo baby intern who scammed her way into the job.
00:24:07Brain dead.
00:24:08Anya actually said this.
00:24:10And a useless disaster.
00:24:11She quite literally said to me,
00:24:13do me a favor and fire this bitch.
00:24:16Anya practically begged me to work for her.
00:24:19She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.
00:24:21Okay, we all know Anya, okay?
00:24:23And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything.
00:24:26Especially to work with a deadweight intern.
00:24:29Then why are you still here?
00:24:31What, you little...
00:24:32Oh, don't even try it.
00:24:34Danny.
00:24:36Will you come with me and be my new creative director of Saint John Couture?
00:24:39God, I don't know.
00:24:40Hey, whatever you are making, I will double it.
00:24:42Okay, her salary is 500k.
00:24:44She's literally robbing us blind.
00:24:47A million it is then.
00:24:52Please, a million dollar salary?
00:24:54Your fashion house doesn't even rank in the top ten.
00:24:57Are you clinically insane?
00:24:59You're an even bigger bullshitter than Danny.
00:25:03A million dollars for a talentless intern.
00:25:06Way to dig your own grave.
00:25:09I thought I told you to shut up.
00:25:12Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
00:25:15Seriously, but it's not about the money.
00:25:18Danny, if you join my fashion house,
00:25:21the title of creative director will be yours.
00:25:23Creative control over the next season's couture collection will be yours.
00:25:27My designers, my studio, my full trust.
00:25:32And hell, if you want me, I'm even yours too.
00:25:36Oh, Claude.
00:25:38Okay, look, I get it.
00:25:39You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand,
00:25:43and I respect you for that.
00:25:44So let me remind you that Danny is a lazy scam artist.
00:25:49Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.
00:25:53In that case...
00:25:57Okay.
00:26:00What is all this shit?
00:26:02This shit is everything that your mother gifted me.
00:26:04Her one and only key to her personal studio.
00:26:08The business black card in my name,
00:26:09which I could have used to repair the damages,
00:26:11but I guess that's not my concern anymore.
00:26:14You can tell Anya that I, Danny Maxwell,
00:26:18am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house
00:26:21and never, ever come back.
00:26:24Aww.
00:26:26So sad for us.
00:26:28Not.
00:26:29You did not deserve any special treatment, Danny.
00:26:32I mean, just look at you.
00:26:34Your complete fashion flop.
00:26:36You know, you are all so wrapped up in beauty standards and bullshit
00:26:39that you can't even see the design talent that is right in front of you.
00:26:44Danny, it is true.
00:26:45We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter for the number one title spot.
00:26:49Then I'm going to change that.
00:26:51I'll join as creative director.
00:26:54And by this time, next season's runway show,
00:26:58St. Jean Couture will be number one.
00:26:59You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Danny.
00:27:06Losing your spot at the number one fashion house
00:27:08to go and work for this desperate up-and-comer.
00:27:13Although, who else would hire you?
00:27:16Embarrassed for her.
00:27:18You know, Vanessa's going to burn this place to the ground
00:27:20and you are going to be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.
00:27:24And something tells me you're not qualified for that, are you?
00:27:28Qualified? And what exactly are you qualified for?
00:27:31Propositioning idiotic interns
00:27:33to go out and peddle up your hideous designs
00:27:36to some micro-influencers?
00:27:39What?
00:27:43I did.
00:27:46She did.
00:27:49She will.
00:27:51Who is that?
00:27:53That was Soleil's team.
00:27:55They've asked for five sketches from Danny
00:27:57for her Metcala look.
00:27:58What was that about micro-influencers?
00:28:01If I'm not mistaken,
00:28:03she has more followers than anyone in the world?
00:28:07Absolutely not.
00:28:08Brynn is supposed to design Soleil's gown.
00:28:11Brynn?
00:28:13Guess we got ourselves some competition.
00:28:15This isn't a competition.
00:28:17It's an all-out fashion war.
00:28:19Well, I hope you're ready to die on the battlefield.
00:28:22Let's go, Danny.
00:28:23Gladly.
00:28:24I'm losing brain cells talking to these people.
00:28:27May the best designer win.
00:28:31Don't worry about her, Vanessa.
00:28:33Just send these to Soleil's team
00:28:35and there's no way she won't pick us.
00:28:39I'll be Danny with her own designs.
00:28:42Oh my God, Brynn.
00:28:44These are incredible.
00:28:46Between these and the spring couture collection,
00:28:49you've really proven yourself.
00:28:50I'm officially naming you
00:28:54as creative director of Ani Winter Couture.
00:28:57This is a dream come true.
00:29:02And don't forget about me
00:29:04in the face of the menswear line.
00:29:08Great.
00:29:10One step at a time.
00:29:12Stick with me and you'll be very satisfied.
00:29:14Every designer will be gunning for our spot
00:29:19as top couture collection in the world.
00:29:22That's why we need to dress Soleil at the Mackella.
00:29:25No one can touch us.
00:29:28Not even Claude and that hack Danny.
00:29:30I won't let you down, Vanessa.
00:29:32Now, walk me through
00:29:34how you designed the couture collection in four hours.
00:29:37How did I do it?
00:29:38Oh God, I can't design for crap.
00:29:43I have no idea how Danny pulled that off.
00:29:46What the hell am I going to tell her?
00:29:49I used a highly specialized sewing technique
00:29:52that I learned in my final year of fashion school.
00:29:56The details are really boring.
00:29:57I could show you later.
00:29:59Of course.
00:30:00You have your own technique.
00:30:01You are the creative genius.
00:30:03I mean, these are already Met Gala worthy.
00:30:06If you can bring them to life
00:30:07half as well as you did the spring collection,
00:30:09you have nothing to worry about.
00:30:11Nothing at all.
00:30:12I am now the creative director
00:30:14of the number one fashion house in the world.
00:30:18Step aside, Danny.
00:30:19I'm the new couture queen now.
00:30:24What do you want?
00:30:27Anya, it's Claude Saint-Jean.
00:30:29Listen, I'm just calling to let you know
00:30:31that we are officially in the running
00:30:32to dress a Leia at her Met Gala.
00:30:35What?
00:30:36We are the number one couture house
00:30:39in the world right now.
00:30:40Why would she want you to dress her
00:30:42as if some young, arrogant, dumbass could...
00:30:45Listen, I'm not calling to discuss this.
00:30:46I'm just simply letting you know.
00:30:51Cheers.
00:30:54What the hell is that rat up to?
00:30:57He knows I have a design prodigy
00:31:00at my right hand.
00:31:01And why would he think anybody
00:31:04could beat a superstar like Danny?
00:31:12Unless...
00:31:13Mother, you'll never believe
00:31:15the sketches I got from...
00:31:17Tell me you didn't fire
00:31:18my most talented designer!
00:31:23Calm down, Mother,
00:31:24or else you'll have another heart attack.
00:31:26Like I told you already,
00:31:27I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.
00:31:30Why the hell is Claude Saint-Jean competing with us
00:31:34for the Met Gala partnership?
00:31:36Well, I just figured it was pointless to talk him out of it
00:31:39when he's obviously going to crash and burn
00:31:41along with that talentless intern.
00:31:43They'll design something cheap and tacky for Salaya.
00:31:46And then she'll tell everybody she knows
00:31:49not to touch Saint-Jean-Couture
00:31:51with a ten-foot pole.
00:31:54And then their sad little fashion careers.
00:31:57They'll be over it before they even started.
00:31:58So you gaslit Claude
00:32:02into hiring our cast-off?
00:32:04Sure did.
00:32:05He's convinced that the talentless Nepo baby
00:32:07is the creative genius behind our spring line.
00:32:10That's brilliant.
00:32:13And I thought you're a weak little pushover
00:32:15like your father, but...
00:32:17Maybe you're more like me than I knew.
00:32:20Vanessa,
00:32:21I want you to take full control
00:32:24over the Met Gala partnership with Salaya.
00:32:26Oh, thank you.
00:32:27No more talking.
00:32:30It's time to get to work
00:32:31and we need to make damn sure
00:32:33Salaya picks our gown for the gala.
00:32:36We are going to make Claude St. John
00:32:39the laughingstock of the fashion industry.
00:32:45Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.
00:32:47Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.
00:32:50Are you sure she can handle this?
00:32:51Did I ask your opinion?
00:32:54My daughter can't fuck this up.
00:32:56Not with Dani Maxwell designing the gown for Salaya.
00:33:01Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude St. John
00:33:05to hire our strung-out sad sack of an intern?
00:33:09I get to sit back and watch Dani work her magic
00:33:14for Salaya's gown
00:33:15while that hack of a talent
00:33:18completely tanks what's left of Claude's fashion house.
00:33:23So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?
00:33:37It's insane what you've accomplished.
00:33:40I mean, four years ago you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino
00:33:42and now look at you.
00:33:45Your own couture line?
00:33:47It's everything you ever wanted.
00:33:50Not everything.
00:33:53Well, what about you, Dani?
00:33:54I mean, when I met you, you were a quiet little intern
00:33:56and now you're a fashion genius?
00:34:00I'm serious.
00:34:00I mean, that work you did
00:34:02on that spring collection,
00:34:03it was inspiring.
00:34:11Yes.
00:34:14Of course.
00:34:17You'll be there.
00:34:20Salaya loved your Mechala sketches, huh?
00:34:22She tells her favorite from you and Brandon
00:34:24she wants you both to show her a sample.
00:34:26Oh my God, when?
00:34:27Tomorrow afternoon?
00:34:31You have 24 hours to make this dress for Salaya.
00:34:34Better get started.
00:34:36I mean, we just got back from New York and I...
00:34:38You created an entire couture collection in what?
00:34:41Four hours?
00:34:43This should be a breeze, right?
00:34:44Right.
00:34:45I can totally pull this off.
00:34:47Then do it.
00:34:49Now!
00:34:52You think you can pull off creating a Mechala gown
00:34:54for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?
00:34:56Who do you think you're talking to?
00:34:58Well, whatever it is,
00:35:00it just needs to be better than this.
00:35:02This is our competition.
00:35:04That's my sketch!
00:35:08A fraud friend's been stealing my designs.
00:35:10Of course.
00:35:16She has no real talent of her own.
00:35:21Damn.
00:35:22That dress is insane.
00:35:25A skirt made of stained glass?
00:35:28Insane is right.
00:35:29It's going to be nearly impossible to sell a bodice
00:35:31that can support the weight of the skirt.
00:35:33If Salaya puts on this gown,
00:35:35it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:35:37Prina wants to be a fashion icon so bad.
00:35:41How will she pull us off?
00:35:43Then it's an easy win, right?
00:35:45We just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.
00:35:47Not exactly.
00:35:50I'm going to make the same exact dress,
00:35:52only better.
00:35:54Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.
00:35:57But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.
00:35:59I said nearly impossible.
00:36:07Bryn can try to rip off my designs all she wants.
00:36:11But without the brains or skills to back it up,
00:36:14there's no way she's going to pull it off.
00:36:16And if she tries,
00:36:17that gown is going to fall apart faster
00:36:19than you can say fashion victim.
00:36:21Let's remember this day,
00:36:26the last day that Claude Sejourn Couture
00:36:29will be at the bottom of the fashion food chase.
00:36:33By this time tomorrow,
00:36:35we'll be the new rulers of the Couture kingdom.
00:36:37What the hell is this?
00:36:43Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress
00:36:45to the bottom of the dress?
00:36:47Oh, my God.
00:36:48Bryn, the skirt is too heavy.
00:36:50I have no excuses.
00:36:51We have four hours to make a dress for Celaya.
00:37:01Gosh, I'm just getting trash out of club right now.
00:37:03Bryn!
00:37:05How's everything going?
00:37:06Great!
00:37:07I just dropped my scissors.
00:37:09We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:37:12Phone call.
00:37:14I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:37:16Now!
00:37:17Don't worry, Mother.
00:37:18I have everything under control.
00:37:20That clown Claude and that fraud designer
00:37:22are going down.
00:37:25You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:37:27Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:37:32Keep it up.
00:37:34There might be another promotion in your future.
00:37:36If I can pull this off, I'll go down in fashion history.
00:37:45Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:37:47No.
00:37:59Come on.
00:38:00zeny.
00:38:03Denny.
00:38:04Look up.
00:38:06Come on.
00:38:07Let's get you to bed.
00:38:30Good morning, superstar.
00:38:37This is it.
00:38:45The gown that can make or break me.
00:38:54You should be proud, Danny.
00:38:57It's exceptional.
00:38:59Just like you.
00:39:01Thanks, I...
00:39:03I couldn't have done it without you.
00:39:12Oh, God.
00:39:13I need to change what I'm wearing to meet the most famous woman in the world.
00:39:16Don't worry about it.
00:39:19I had my editor friend Marco pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.
00:39:24Pick anything you like.
00:39:32See you at the meeting.
00:39:33Here's the meeting.
00:39:42Gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:39:45What am I going to do?
00:39:47Brynn!
00:39:53That better be the best dress you've ever made.
00:39:56Let's go.
00:40:01Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:40:04We're going to get that Met Gala partnership.
00:40:06In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:40:08Where's your top secret weapon?
00:40:10She'll be here soon.
00:40:12She'll make a big impression on Solea.
00:40:14Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:40:17I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:40:23Her talent speaks for itself.
00:40:25Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.
00:40:30I just have to find a way to switch mine and Danny's garment bags when no one's looking.
00:40:35It's not like Solea would even trust that unstylish little piece of...
00:40:39Danny.
00:40:51You look stunning.
00:40:52Thanks.
00:40:56Speechless.
00:40:57Is that a first?
00:40:59Are those that...
00:41:00One of a kind Anya Winter Fall couture books?
00:41:03Yes, I am.
00:41:05Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:41:07She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:41:09They were a gift.
00:41:10For designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:41:13What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:41:16Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern.
00:41:19But taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:22That's a whole new look.
00:41:24Taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:26Friend, I know a thing or two about that.
00:41:29Watch, he is...
00:41:31Careful now.
00:41:32You think you're some design protege, Danny?
00:41:36This...
00:41:37Give me that.
00:41:38This...
00:41:39Is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.
00:41:43If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's gonna see that I'm a total fraud.
00:41:49Solea will see you now.
00:41:51Designers only.
00:41:53For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.
00:41:58Hey.
00:42:00You've got this.
00:42:02There's no way she's not gonna pick you.
00:42:07Everything is riding on this Met Gala partnership.
00:42:11Don't fuck it up.
00:42:13I won't let you down.
00:42:16Solea is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.
00:42:19You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.
00:42:21Just don't touch anything.
00:42:24The dress you made?
00:42:28Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design?
00:42:31Or...
00:42:33Is it stolen?
00:42:35I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:37You mean, you didn't steal my portfolio and pass off my sketches as yours so you could dress the most famous woman in the world for the Met Gala?
00:42:45Tell me Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle?
00:42:51That dress you designed is beautiful but very, very complicated.
00:42:59How did you manage to pull that off?
00:43:02We'll just see.
00:43:04Won't we?
00:43:05Yes, we will.
00:43:15Ugh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:17If I don't do something fast, everyone's gonna find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:35I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame and I'm not letting Danny, that disaster, take it from me.
00:43:53Bye-bye, Danny.
00:43:55Solea's arriving now.
00:43:57No photos, no sucking up, and no touching.
00:44:00Unless she touches you.
00:44:01Got it?
00:44:02Got it.
00:44:05Okay.
00:44:11Solea, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:44:13It's so nice to meet you.
00:44:15Where's the other one?
00:44:17She must be running a little bit late.
00:44:19I hate people who waste my time.
00:44:21I think she saw my gown and she felt... inadequate.
00:44:25Let's see it then.
00:44:26She was a snake.
00:44:27I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:44:39Brin knocked me out and stole my dress.
00:44:47I knew she was a snake, but I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:44:53The sample preview is starting now, and I have nothing to show.
00:45:03Or maybe I did.
00:45:09I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:45:15Sorry, fam. It's my Pisces moon.
00:45:18This is, like, the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:23I feel connected to it on, like, a cosmic level.
00:45:26I must wear this dress.
00:45:28I knew you would love it.
00:45:29But what about the other designer? She might...
00:45:32She's late. I'll give her three seconds.
00:45:34If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:45:36Three, two...
00:45:39Wait!
00:45:41I'm so sorry. I'm late, Soleil. I had a little bump in the rug.
00:45:48I suppose I can forgive you. Mercury is in retrograde.
00:45:53Nice gown, Brin.
00:45:54I wish I could say the same, Dani, but...
00:45:58Your stinks.
00:46:00Gee, I wonder why that is.
00:46:03This dress is so trippy.
00:46:07My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.
00:46:10Okay, but you're not, like, crying. I mean, like, mine is still better.
00:46:15Right?
00:46:16I wouldn't say that.
00:46:19What?
00:46:21Isn't that crazy?
00:46:22That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and Soleil still likes my design better?
00:46:29How much longer can you keep up this shrink?
00:46:31I must know.
00:46:34What was your inspiration?
00:46:36I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and...
00:46:42You get the trash and make a treasure.
00:46:47Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.
00:46:50Or like a rat from a dumpster.
00:46:52I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.
00:46:57Dani, I feel like you really get me.
00:47:00You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:47:02Okay, well, what about my vision?
00:47:05What about my art?
00:47:07Brin's right.
00:47:08She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:47:13Brin, tell us how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:47:19Crap, I have no idea how Dani made this.
00:47:25What do I say?
00:47:26How did I do it?
00:47:29You're not gatekeeping your creative process from Soleil, are you?
00:47:36If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala,
00:47:40doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:47:44It's true.
00:47:45Soleil doesn't like gatekeepers.
00:47:47It's a simple question, Brin.
00:47:50If you can't answer it, then, like, did you really even make the dress?
00:47:55I think the real question here is,
00:47:57why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:48:01Clearly, she's trying to steal my technique
00:48:02because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:48:05Okay, this taped-together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:48:09It's an elementary school art project.
00:48:12Soleil, you cannot wear Dani's dress.
00:48:14I mean, look at it, it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:48:18Besides, it's made out of New York Street trash.
00:48:23She's right.
00:48:24It does kind of have, like, a fishy smell to it.
00:48:28Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:48:31Well, obviously, this is just a sample.
00:48:34The real dress would not be-
00:48:35Okay, but my sample is pristine.
00:48:38I mean, Soleil, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway,
00:48:42but Dani's?
00:48:43Dani's is probably made out of disease, rat feces, and meat juice.
00:48:50Oh, God, you know I'm a die-hard vegan.
00:48:56I've made my decision.
00:48:58The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...
00:49:03Brin's.
00:49:06I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala.
00:49:09It's too big of a risk, even for me.
00:49:12Oh, I'm sorry, Dani.
00:49:13But it's easier to go back to trash when you are trash.
00:49:19But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:49:24Brin, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:49:27Like, like, right now?
00:49:29You made this dress in 24 hours.
00:49:32Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:49:34Once Soleil sees Brin for the fraud she is,
00:49:37she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:40Well, Brin, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?
00:49:45Now.
00:49:52I really work better alone.
00:49:55Not today you don't.
00:49:56Do you want me to wear your dress to the Met Gala or not?
00:49:59This is it.
00:50:01This is it.
00:50:03The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.
00:50:06The moment my talents will finally be recognized.
00:50:11Soleil, Hannah Summer, the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine, is here to see you.
00:50:16Oh my god, and she's the chair of the Met Gala board.
00:50:19She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:50:21Maybe they're going to do a feature.
00:50:23Oh my god, she's coming up here right now.
00:50:29Wait, you're not Hannah.
00:50:32Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.
00:50:35I'm her personal assistant here to deliver a message on Anya Winter's suggestion and by
00:50:42the Fashion Council's orders, Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry and banned
00:50:49from the Met Gala for life.
00:50:53Banned?
00:50:54What the hell for?
00:50:55Insubordination, sabotage amounting to millions of dollars in potential losses,
00:51:01a general lack of personal style.
00:51:05Those aren't just faceless lies.
00:51:08I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.
00:51:11How dare you come into Soleil's personal studio, waste her precious time knowing you are hated
00:51:17by literally everyone in the fashion industry.
00:51:20Are you trying to tank her career?
00:51:23This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:51:26This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:51:29Get her out of here.
00:51:31Now.
00:51:36Congratulations.
00:51:36I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:51:40And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:51:45Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:51:48Hey, get your hands off of me right now.
00:51:52You okay?
00:51:54Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:51:56Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life too.
00:51:59Banned?
00:52:00By who?
00:52:02Hannah Summer herself.
00:52:03The editor-in-chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny.
00:52:10This is the best day of my life.
00:52:12Mine too.
00:52:14Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:52:17Okay.
00:52:19I am the real hero here.
00:52:21I mean, Soleil's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.
00:52:24And Danny here is going to go get herself a little job at McDonald's.
00:52:28The fashion world is not going to miss you.
00:52:30No, I've given everything for this fashion house.
00:52:34And how do you repay me?
00:52:36By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:52:39Not everyone.
00:52:42Let's go, Danny.
00:52:43I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:52:56I can't believe it.
00:52:57We'll get our latest post.
00:52:59Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:53:02I'll be giving the designer a very special shout out on stage after my exclusive performance.
00:53:10That's my dress.
00:53:11This should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:53:15Bryn and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:53:16They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:53:19They're everything that you're not.
00:53:24You deserve to be on that stage.
00:53:27And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:53:31I know what I have to do.
00:53:32I'm going to sneak into the Met Gala.
00:53:39Hell yes, you are.
00:53:41I'm sneaking into the Met Gala tomorrow.
00:53:43I have work to do.
00:53:44Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:46Let me handle that.
00:53:48Now, let's drink.
00:53:49Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:53:55Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:53:56But it will.
00:54:04You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:54:07Didn't they used to call you One Cup Club?
00:54:10Oh.
00:54:12You're tall, but you're quite the length.
00:54:16I'm hurt, Danny.
00:54:17And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.
00:54:38You were lightweight.
00:54:40Speak for yourself.
00:54:44Let's get you to win.
00:54:45Anything?
00:54:47Anything?
00:54:48Seriously, I like it.
00:54:51Oh.
00:54:54Wow.
00:54:55Oh, Lord.
00:55:01I suddenly feel very sober.
00:55:05Me too.
00:55:15What do you think?
00:55:30I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:55:33But what's it for?
00:55:35This.
00:55:37Yeah.
00:55:38This is your party crashing uniform.
00:55:41Marco's going to meet you on the side entrance of the gala.
00:55:45I owe you both my life.
00:55:48I just want to make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she developed.
00:55:57I'll meet you there.
00:55:59Where are you going?
00:56:00I am bringing Anya Winter out of the hospital.
00:56:04When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house
00:56:07and sent a fraud to the biggest event in fashion history,
00:56:10it's going to be over for her and Brynn.
00:56:15For everything.
00:56:20I'll meet you there.
00:56:29Good luck.
00:56:29We're here at fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala,
00:56:44where everyone who is anyone has gathered in New York City
00:56:48to celebrate the best of fashion.
00:56:53Oh, my God.
00:56:55Solea!
00:56:56Darling, how are you?
00:56:57Oh, my God.
00:56:58I am freaking out right now.
00:57:00I mean, this gown.
00:57:02Oh, anyway, best dress of the night, hands down.
00:57:09Now, tell me, who made this incredible creation?
00:57:13I'm actually not revealing who made it yet,
00:57:15but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.
00:57:18Cryptid.
00:57:18I love it.
00:57:19I love it.
00:57:20Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.
00:57:25You know, that spring collection that you did was just like,
00:57:28whoa, you know?
00:57:30Yeah, I'm kind of like a genius.
00:57:42Brynn got me a fan from the Met Gala,
00:57:44but I made it in,
00:57:46and soon she'll be exposed for the fraud she is.
00:57:49How did that slut get in here?
00:57:51She's going to ruin everything.
00:57:55Champagne, Brynn?
00:57:56You cannot be here.
00:57:59You competed against me to dress Solea,
00:58:02the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala,
00:58:04and you lost.
00:58:06Okay.
00:58:06Tonight is my special night,
00:58:07and I cannot have you ruining it.
00:58:10I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.
00:58:12I'm the guest of honor.
00:58:14After all the blood, sweat, and tears
00:58:16I put into making that gown,
00:58:18she stole it from me
00:58:19and dragged my name through the mud.
00:58:21Brynn, why are you so obsessed
00:58:23with taking credit for my work?
00:58:25I do not have to answer.
00:58:28Face it, Danny.
00:58:29I have won the respect of everyone
00:58:31who matters in the fashion industry.
00:58:34I'm going to be up there
00:58:35next to Solea on that stage
00:58:36basking in all your glory.
00:58:39And you?
00:58:40You will still be a no one.
00:58:44You come in here dressed up like a servant
00:58:46expecting me to do what?
00:58:48Fall out your feet and go,
00:58:49Oh, I'm so sorry, Danny.
00:58:51You are so smart and so talented.
00:58:53It's never going to happen.
00:58:56I am rubbing elbows with the hottest,
00:58:58most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:59:01I am wearing the gown of the Mechella,
00:59:03and you can't touch me now.
00:59:06And who exactly designed the gown your way?
00:59:13Certainly not you,
00:59:14if that's what you're implying.
00:59:15Do you know how much effort was put
00:59:20into making that spring collection?
00:59:22Do you know how hard those designers worked
00:59:24that you fired to save that show?
00:59:30You think Brynn is the one responsible
00:59:33for saving the day?
00:59:35Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?
00:59:38Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?
00:59:40And what have you done to prove yourself?
00:59:42Sneak into the Mechella dressed as the help?
00:59:47You know, the servant suit really fits you, Danny.
00:59:50I think you, uh, found your true calling.
00:59:53Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself
00:59:55that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?
00:59:58You know, we dated for two years,
01:00:00and I never asked you for a thing.
01:00:02But the minute Vanessa offers you 15 minutes of fame,
01:00:06you drop me without a thought.
01:00:07What will you do once she's used you up
01:00:11and left you in the dust?
01:00:13You have no idea what you're talking about.
01:00:19Yeah.
01:00:21Jealousy is a disease, Danny.
01:00:24Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded
01:00:26doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
01:00:30You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
01:00:33Are you really so desperate to steal my glory
01:00:35that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
01:00:39You must be psychotic.
01:00:41Really?
01:00:42And what's the word for stealing another designer's work
01:00:45and using it for clout?
01:00:53Claude.
01:00:54Did you come here to fall at my feet
01:00:59and beg me for a job
01:01:00now that my fashion house
01:01:02officially has the Met Gala partnership
01:01:05and yours?
01:01:07Yours is dead in the water.
01:01:10I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now,
01:01:13don't you?
01:01:14Not as much as you're going to regret
01:01:15putting your daughter in charge.
01:01:17Excuse me?
01:01:18Look,
01:01:22I know you and I haven't always seen
01:01:25eye to eye.
01:01:27Hmm.
01:01:29But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
01:01:33There's something you should see.
01:01:39Bitch!
01:01:40My star designer worked her fingers to the bone
01:01:43to make that dress for Saleya.
01:01:44Don't you dare try to take credit
01:01:46for her creative genius.
01:01:51Hmm.
01:01:52Very soft.
01:01:53But if she worked her fingers to the bone,
01:01:55then where the count says.
01:01:56Ah!
01:01:57How dare you assault me.
01:01:59Leave.
01:02:00Now.
01:02:02Or what?
01:02:03So entitled.
01:02:05You know,
01:02:05you should be grateful to my mother
01:02:07for even allowing you to step foot
01:02:09into her historic tour house.
01:02:11I never said I wasn't.
01:02:12Your mother
01:02:13is one of the best designers
01:02:15in the world
01:02:16and she took a chance on me.
01:02:18I've always been grateful to her.
01:02:20Grateful?
01:02:21You've tarnished her name
01:02:23and reputation
01:02:24and now you're trying to sabotage
01:02:25the biggest night
01:02:26in the history of this fashion house.
01:02:28Just like you tried to sabotage
01:02:29the spring couture show!
01:02:36I'm the one that saved
01:02:37that collection.
01:02:38Enough!
01:02:39Enough!
01:02:39God,
01:02:47you are so embarrassing, Danny!
01:02:50You know,
01:02:50breaking up with you
01:02:51was the best decision
01:02:52that I ever made.
01:02:54You did me the favor,
01:02:55really.
01:02:56Thank you so much
01:02:58for saving me
01:02:59from a lifetime of disappointment.
01:03:02Disappointment!
01:03:03If we're talking disappointment,
01:03:04I think it's you
01:03:05because you're the one
01:03:06covered in champagne.
01:03:07Oh, my God.
01:03:12Is there security around here?
01:03:14This disturbed employee
01:03:15is trying to ruin my couture!
01:03:18And she put her filthy hand on me.
01:03:21Soleil is about to announce Brynn
01:03:23as the designer of her gown
01:03:24and you will not ruin this moment.
01:03:31Get your hands off of her.
01:03:32Vanessa, what the hell
01:03:38have you done
01:03:39with my fashion house?
01:03:44Nothing, Mom.
01:03:45I fired Danny
01:03:45just like you asked.
01:03:47You what?
01:03:48Ah!
01:03:50Ah!
01:03:54I don't understand.
01:03:55Is it a mistake?
01:03:56A mistake?
01:03:58A mistake?
01:03:59I...
01:03:59Oh!
01:04:02Oh, my God.
01:04:03Mom, are you okay?
01:04:04I...
01:04:05I just need a minute.
01:04:07Okay.
01:04:09Anya, are you okay?
01:04:12Oh, Danny.
01:04:13I'm fine.
01:04:14I...
01:04:15There's something
01:04:15I need to say.
01:04:17I can't let that old slut
01:04:19blow my cover.
01:04:21No!
01:04:22She shouldn't speak.
01:04:23She could have
01:04:23another heart attack.
01:04:25Security!
01:04:26Get her out of here!
01:04:27I'm okay.
01:04:30I'm fine.
01:04:31Don't tell her!
01:04:32You're making it worse!
01:04:33Don't listen to anything
01:04:34this worthless server
01:04:35has to say.
01:04:35Take my mother
01:04:36someone quieter.
01:04:38I'm fine!
01:04:39I'll be right there.
01:04:41Danny!
01:04:43Hey, I said hands off.
01:04:44Unless you want
01:04:45to be cut it off, please.
01:04:48What the hell
01:04:49was that about?
01:04:53I know you've all
01:04:54been anxiously awaiting
01:04:55the reveal of the designer
01:04:57I've chosen to partner with.
01:05:01Bryn Maxwell,
01:05:02will you join me on stage?
01:05:05Oh, oh my god.
01:05:06She had a wardrobe malfunction.
01:05:10Break the fuck for me.
01:05:11Come on.
01:05:12What the fuck happened?
01:05:14I told you not to fuck out.
01:05:15I don't know.
01:05:16I...
01:05:16I don't know.
01:05:17I...
01:05:17What are you looking at me for?
01:05:20You're the designer of my dress.
01:05:21She wants to be a star designer,
01:05:24so that...
01:05:24Let's see if she has the skills
01:05:25to throw it off.
01:05:28Someone needs to fix this!
01:05:30Now!
01:05:31Danny, Danny.
01:05:33If that dress splits anymore,
01:05:34this will be a major PR nightmare.
01:05:36I know you can do it.
01:05:38So, please,
01:05:39do you go ahead
01:05:39and fix the dress?
01:05:41Why would I be able to help?
01:05:43I mean, Bryn's
01:05:44the one that designed
01:05:45the dress.
01:05:46Did you fall
01:05:49and smack your little head
01:05:50on the sidewalk?
01:05:52No.
01:05:52Danny is a Nepo baby intern
01:05:54who knows nothing,
01:05:55and Bryn is the creative genius.
01:05:58Remember?
01:05:59Yes.
01:05:59Right?
01:06:00Right.
01:06:00I...
01:06:01I totally know what I'm doing.
01:06:04Danny is just
01:06:05a frumpy little service worker
01:06:07who wants to play dress-up.
01:06:14Thanks, Danny.
01:06:15I knew you were useless.
01:06:16that God brings here.
01:06:18I can do this.
01:06:20How hard can it be
01:06:21to fix a one-of-a-kind
01:06:23couture gown?
01:06:26I put my heart and soul
01:06:27into a dress
01:06:28Soleil will be proud
01:06:29to wear at the Metcala.
01:06:30And you built
01:06:32your couture house
01:06:32from the ground up
01:06:33and made so many sacrifices
01:06:35to hire me.
01:06:38I can't let Bryn ruin it all.
01:06:41I have to show Soleil
01:06:42what I can do.
01:06:44So go show them
01:06:44who you are.
01:06:45Prove to Soleil
01:06:47that you are the genius
01:06:48behind that dress.
01:06:55Bryn,
01:06:56the seams are delicate.
01:06:57The stitch has to be...
01:06:58Shut up!
01:06:59You're ruining her concentration.
01:07:01Um,
01:07:02are you the girl
01:07:02who was, like,
01:07:03banned from the Metcala
01:07:04for her life?
01:07:05Yeah, she is.
01:07:06She shouldn't even be here
01:07:07right now.
01:07:08I shouldn't be here?
01:07:10Look at the way
01:07:10Bryn's holding that needle.
01:07:12How much longer
01:07:13can you keep up...
01:07:13Just step aside
01:07:15and let me...
01:07:15Okay, somebody has to call
01:07:20Hannah Summer.
01:07:21The chair of the Gala
01:07:22will know how to handle
01:07:22this dirty little party crasher.
01:07:28What now?
01:07:29We have a security situation.
01:07:31Party crasher on the Gala floor
01:07:33with someone named
01:07:33Danny Maxwell.
01:07:35Danny?
01:07:37Anya's star designer?
01:07:41I'm fine!
01:07:43I am not some delicate little flower!
01:07:46I had a heart attack,
01:07:47not a lobotomy!
01:07:48Honey!
01:07:50Hannah, darling!
01:07:55Anya,
01:07:55I just got word
01:07:56that Danny Maxwell
01:07:57has been banned from the Gala.
01:08:00Your daughter
01:08:00is trying to get her kicked out.
01:08:02What?
01:08:03I said
01:08:04I've got it.
01:08:07Fine.
01:08:08That's the way
01:08:08you want it to be.
01:08:14See?
01:08:15As a true genius
01:08:17behind this dress,
01:08:18I think it's
01:08:19good
01:08:20as new.
01:08:23Shout out to my
01:08:24hella talented designer
01:08:25Brynn Maxwell
01:08:25of Anya Winter Couture
01:08:27for dressing me tonight.
01:08:28Thanks to her,
01:08:30I swerved a full-on
01:08:31wardrobe malfunction.
01:08:45All of my hard work
01:08:47ruined by Brynn's ego.
01:08:51What's that?
01:08:53You know,
01:08:53it takes a profound
01:08:54lack of talents
01:08:55to destroy a gown
01:08:56that's so beautiful.
01:09:01Yeah,
01:09:01what kind of shoddy repair job
01:09:02was that?
01:09:03That girl is so
01:09:04not worthy of dressing
01:09:05Soleil.
01:09:05I'm suing Anya Winters
01:09:09for all your brand is worth.
01:09:11This is all your fault.
01:09:13My fault?
01:09:15I was trying to help.
01:09:17I was trying to take your mom's
01:09:18little washed up brand
01:09:19and make it relevant
01:09:20by dressing the hottest,
01:09:21most famous woman
01:09:22in the world.
01:09:23How dare you call
01:09:25my mother's brand
01:09:25washed up.
01:09:26You're going to pay for that.
01:09:27How?
01:09:28Are you going to fire me
01:09:29like you fired Danny?
01:09:32When all those
01:09:33loser designers
01:09:34got let go,
01:09:35I replaced the staff
01:09:36with my own people.
01:09:37If I go,
01:09:38they go.
01:09:40How will Anya Winters
01:09:41keep its title
01:09:42as number one
01:09:43couture house
01:09:43without a design staff?
01:09:46You won't keep
01:09:47your spot as number one
01:09:48as long as you have
01:09:49a fraud like Brynn
01:09:50as your creative director
01:09:51either.
01:09:54Dude,
01:09:55that girl is totally
01:09:56crashing out right now.
01:09:58I'm calling my lawyers.
01:09:59Brynn,
01:10:00this is all
01:10:01your fault.
01:10:02Okay,
01:10:03if you guys all want
01:10:04someone to blame for this,
01:10:05why didn't you blame Danny?
01:10:06Okay,
01:10:06I didn't even make
01:10:07that stupid dress.
01:10:08She did.
01:10:13I didn't,
01:10:15I didn't,
01:10:16I didn't mean,
01:10:17I think it's finally
01:10:18time to show them
01:10:19who you really are.
01:10:21Brynn's right.
01:10:22I designed the dress.
01:10:25And
01:10:25I'll prove it.
01:10:35Celaya,
01:10:36will you meet me on stage?
01:10:38Don't.
01:10:39You shouldn't trust
01:10:40that ugly,
01:10:41lying bitch.
01:10:42I mean,
01:10:42look at her.
01:10:43She's gonna drag
01:10:44down your whole image.
01:10:46Image
01:10:46means nothing
01:10:47without substance,
01:10:49without talent.
01:10:51A true fashion genius
01:10:52should know that.
01:10:53Damn,
01:10:55that's deep.
01:10:56I agree.
01:10:57I'm pretty sure
01:10:58you're the one
01:10:59I shouldn't trust.
01:11:13I need her to dress
01:11:30me like that.
01:11:30Wait,
01:11:31this means that
01:11:33I fumbled
01:11:33a super talented
01:11:34baddie?
01:11:36Oh,
01:11:36fuck!
01:11:38It's everything
01:11:39I've ever wanted.
01:11:40you saved this night.
01:11:44Holy cow.
01:11:46This is the most
01:11:47beautiful collection
01:11:48I have ever seen.
01:11:49You're a visionary.
01:11:51And this time,
01:11:53everyone knows it.
01:11:55Celaya!
01:11:56Who are you wearing?
01:11:58I'm wearing
01:11:59Danny Maxwell.
01:12:01I can't be.
01:12:09Danny's the superstar
01:12:10designer that I picked.
01:12:12This is what I've been
01:12:13trying to tell you.
01:12:14Danny is a fashion icon.
01:12:16You.
01:12:20You were never
01:12:21the fashion prodigy
01:12:22of my mother's
01:12:22couture brand.
01:12:24You were the
01:12:25brain-dead
01:12:25nepo baby idiot
01:12:27she warned me about.
01:12:28What is that
01:12:29strung-out
01:12:30deadbeat
01:12:30intern
01:12:31doing
01:12:32at the
01:12:32fucking
01:12:33Met Gala?
01:12:34I thought
01:12:35you fired her.
01:12:37I didn't fire her.
01:12:38I actually
01:12:39promoted her
01:12:40to creative director.
01:12:41You promoted
01:12:42this deadbeat
01:12:44and you fired
01:12:45my star designer?
01:12:49Yeah, I did.
01:12:51Do you know
01:12:52how hard I've worked?
01:12:53Do you know
01:12:53how much money
01:12:54I spent
01:12:56to get Danny Maxwell
01:12:57in my fashion house?
01:12:59She is the
01:13:00lifeblood
01:13:01of this brand.
01:13:03And what did you do?
01:13:05You fired her?
01:13:09So is
01:13:10that Maxwell
01:13:11along?
01:13:12Vanessa,

01:13:15No, Mom,
01:13:15please, please,
01:13:16you can't,
01:13:16I need this.
01:13:18I'm embarrassed
01:13:18to even call you
01:13:19my daughter.
01:13:20When I turned
01:13:21this over to you,
01:13:22my fashion house
01:13:23dominated the entire
01:13:25world of couture,
01:13:26and now look at it,
01:13:27it's a laughingstock!
01:13:29You.
01:13:31You did this.
01:13:33Mom,
01:13:33I'm really sorry.
01:13:34I'm really sorry.
01:13:35Shit,
01:13:36I fucked up.
01:13:37How did I
01:13:38fuck up so bad?
01:13:39Hannah is the chair
01:13:44of the Met Gala
01:13:45and she personally
01:13:46banned Danny.
01:13:48You would not want
01:13:49a fashion outcast
01:13:50on your team,
01:13:50now would you?
01:13:52You have some nerve
01:13:54telling me
01:13:55what I did
01:13:56or didn't do.
01:13:58You duped us
01:13:59all
01:14:00into thinking
01:14:00you're a fashion
01:14:01icon
01:14:02when you're nothing
01:14:03more than a dirty
01:14:05scammer
01:14:05in a designer dress.
01:14:07Danny Maxwell
01:14:10is officially granted
01:14:12a lifetime invitation
01:14:13to the Met Gala.
01:14:15But you
01:14:16are banned
01:14:18forever.
01:14:20And you're fired too.
01:14:22Security?
01:14:23No!
01:14:23Take her away.
01:14:24No, please!
01:14:25Hand her over to the cops.
01:14:26She needs to pay
01:14:27for her crimes
01:14:28against fashion.
01:14:29No!
01:14:30Please!
01:14:31Ah!
01:14:33Danny,
01:14:34please come back
01:14:35to work for me.
01:14:37You know
01:14:38how much
01:14:38I have done
01:14:39for you.
01:14:40My fashion house
01:14:42can't survive
01:14:42without you.
01:14:43I am begging you.
01:14:46Everything you gave me,
01:14:48I gave it all back
01:14:49when your daughter
01:14:49accused me
01:14:50of sabotaging
01:14:51a thing I put
01:14:52my heart and soul
01:14:53into creating.
01:14:54No, she's exaggerating.
01:14:55That's not what happened.
01:14:56It was Brynn.
01:14:57She was scheming
01:14:58to try to steal
01:14:59Danny's job
01:14:59the whole time.
01:15:01That bitch
01:15:02duped me
01:15:02and got me all confused.
01:15:04Seriously?
01:15:04Well, that confusion
01:15:06almost cost me
01:15:07my whole fashion career
01:15:08and everything
01:15:09I've worked for.
01:15:10Did it feel good
01:15:11making me take
01:15:12the fall
01:15:13for your stupid mistakes?
01:15:15Danny,
01:15:16I'm so sorry.
01:15:19I'm sorry, too.
01:15:21I'm not coming back
01:15:22to Anya Winter Couture.
01:15:24I'm staying
01:15:25where I know
01:15:26I'm appreciated,
01:15:27where no one's
01:15:28ever questioned
01:15:28my talent,
01:15:30my vision,
01:15:31my style.
01:15:32So please,
01:15:33step aside.
01:15:39This is our moment.
01:15:42And we at Claude
01:15:44St. Jean Couture

01:15:45but the best, Anya.
01:15:46You ruined it.
01:15:55You have ruined
01:15:56everything I've built.
01:15:59Hey.
01:16:00Oh!
01:16:00Ah!
01:16:03Oh, I know.
01:16:04Wow.
01:16:04They're really going
01:16:05at you like a bunch
01:16:06of savages,
01:16:06aren't they?
01:16:07Ah, yes.
01:16:08I'm sorry,
01:16:09are you crying?
01:16:10Hmm.
01:16:11God,
01:16:12you're hot.
01:16:13Have you ever
01:16:15wanted to be
01:16:15the face
01:16:16of a menswear line?
