Short filmTranscript
00:11Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! The system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season!
00:18Wrong everything!
00:19No! The London runway is in 48 hours! If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead! Not just
00:30fire, we're dead! Company collapses, our careers are over!
00:34Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:39I have a fashion editor from Vogue, London, right now! One word for me, your industry poison!
00:57Enough!
00:59Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:16Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot!
01:2427 now. Tick-tock.
01:46I'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!
02:04Vic! Are you okay?
02:08Just...frax and hicks. Nothing to...
02:13Oh my god, your water broke!
02:22Mom, 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...
02:35I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance meant it was more comfortable
02:42than ours.
02:44That's my girl.
02:54Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We 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 Malayan disaster...
03:18They get immunity.
03:20In fact, um...
03:23They deserve a promotion.
03:27No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:35Boss, the Malayan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41You? You saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually...
03:46How about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:52Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:54She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:57I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:06But, Victoria...
04:07Don't worry about her.
04:09I'm not useless. Prego just got fired.
04:16You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
04:19I hid something in the design.
04:22Your initials and now little graces.
04:25Hold them right into the fabric.
04:31And that's gonna be a Milan runway?
04:35Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:38Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:41Mom, you ain't have to.
04:43You're going to that private school.
04:45No discussion.
04:47Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:50This job will keep us afloat.
04:52I love you, Mom.
04:53I love you, Mom.
05:03Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:08After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:28Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:38What the hell?
05:40Listen up, everyone.
05:41Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:44Effective immediately.
05:47You can't just do that.
05:49She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:51They're a loss against this.
05:53Vic worked while in labor.
05:55She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:59Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:04Everything okay here?
06:05Everything.
06:08Great timing.
06:10Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:14Clear out your desk now.
06:25You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:27I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:31Three times.
06:35Well, that's ancient history.
06:39The board wants fresh blood.
06:41And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:47What?
06:49I'm the one who...
06:53Mia, you...
06:55Feel that curve?
06:57That's your signature.
06:58That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:05How could you?
07:06How could you?
07:07I taught you everything you know.
07:15I wish things were different, Vic.
07:20I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:28What happens to my team?
07:31Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:36Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:41Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:45These jobs are their lifelines.
07:47Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity!
07:50You can't just throw them away!
07:53Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:56No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:02Or, we can shift the math.
08:05You sign, they stay, the budget works out, think of it as taking one for the team.
08:16Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:19And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:22They can't lose their jobs.
08:28Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:31Prove it.
08:32You say, go out.
08:40No, Vic.
08:43No, Vic.
08:45No, Vic.
08:49No, Vic.
09:07$5,000, that's my severance package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them?
09:25Careful. I got you. Vincent? Vincent Chevalier? Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:54So, it's true. Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Misan Laveau's Milan collection.
10:07How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:13Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:18What are you getting at, exactly?
10:22I'm talking about you and me. Partners. Your genius, my money. No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:40I've got a baby to think about now.
10:42And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery. Just saying.
10:53Vincent Chevalier, wow. You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
11:00You got your spy here?
11:05Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing. Triple her salary, corner office.
11:13You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:16Oh, so you're dumpster diving now. Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:24Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:30I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:35The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:38If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:44Shit, shit, shit.
11:46What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:56Actually, those were my designs.
12:01What did you just say?
12:03The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
12:06I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:12Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:16I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:19Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:30So what? Sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:34Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:37Ghost designer?
12:39And the logo?
12:42The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:46It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:50Mom, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:56It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing it over, they all have EW and GW
13:04so near too.
13:06Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:13It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:17Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:21Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:27The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:35You lying little bitch!
13:37That promotion was for saving the company.
13:43Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two Ms.
13:52MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:58See? One M flipped, one upright.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:06It's mine.
14:08That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:11Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two Ms.
14:16Human, they feel it again.
14:18She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:22You learned well, Mia.
14:25Maybe too well.
14:27You'll regret this.
14:30We're not concerned.
14:32We don't have to sink to their level.
14:34Okay.
14:35And let me drive you home, okay?
14:37My Ferrari is outside.
14:39And I got this. You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:47Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:51Just take care of Miranda and Polly, will you?
14:56That's right. Get the hell out of my company.
14:59Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:07Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:11VIP invitation for Paris Fashion Week.
15:14Front row.
15:15I think you'll find it.
15:17Enlightening.
15:18What?
15:26Every pregnant woman fired.
15:29All of us.
15:30Just like that.
15:32No severance.
15:33No warning.
15:34Nothing.
15:35But a box and a security escort.
15:38It's true.
15:43Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:46Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign.
15:50And Polly was my writing star.
15:52Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:54Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:59You should have kept your legs closed.
16:02You should have kept your legs closed.
16:10Oh my god, mom.
16:12This is insane.
16:13I can't believe we're actually here.
16:15Victoria Wintour.
16:17The Nuclear Vic.
16:18Your mom's basically a legend.
16:20You know that, right?
16:22We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:26Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:31Wait.
16:32Maison Léveau?
16:35Well, well.
16:36The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:39Brave of you to show up here.
16:41What's next?
16:42Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:46Leaving so soon.
16:47You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:50Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career update
16:53about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:58Mom, is that true?
17:03Don't worry.
17:04She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:08Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
17:11Still pretending she matters.
17:16My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:20If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:25then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:27Well, look at that.
17:28It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:31Say whatever you want about me,
17:33but leave my daughter out of it.
17:35That's got a sting, huh?
17:37Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:42But hey, good news.
17:43There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:47If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:51That's enough.
17:56That's enough.
17:58You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
18:00You never belonged in this world.
18:03Look at her.
18:04A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:08That dress...
18:10It's a cheap knockoff.
18:14Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:17It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:24What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:26Remove that dress.
18:29We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:33Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:36Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:40Take your hands off her now.
18:44Vincent.
18:50You're dismissed.
19:00You alright?
19:04You alright?
19:05I'm fine.
19:06Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:10The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:12What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:17That knockoff?
19:18That you're so here to trash her for?
19:22It's Chauven.
19:24Mote Couture.
19:25Winter Collection.
19:26Not even released yet.
19:29Price tag?
19:31300,000.
19:32Wow!
19:34You gave her that.
19:35That's right.
19:36You did.
19:39I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:43Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:46Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:49Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight, he's her walking trust fund.
19:56Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:00Desperate.
20:04You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:09For those of you who don't know me,
20:11I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:14CEO of Jeven.
20:17And yes,
20:18I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:23I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:26Your brilliance.
20:28Your principles.
20:30Your passion.
20:33Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:36Tom, did you know about this?
20:39I'm not gonna pursue anything until she's ready.
20:43But in the meantime, what I will do
20:45is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:49She won't let you down, boss.
20:55You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:57She's nothing but a has-been.
21:00The show is about to start.
21:02Your seats are waiting.
21:09Holy shit.
21:10The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:14Talk about a power couple.
21:16They could run the entire industry.
21:19This isn't over, bitch.
21:21Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:32So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:39Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:44Some people, too.
21:50Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:55This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:58She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
22:04It's true.
22:05She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:08I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:14And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:21That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:24Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:28That's enough, Holly.
22:31Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:35Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:39Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:44That's her real design strategy.
22:46Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:48And those kids she's so proud of?
22:50Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:54How dare you!
22:58Miss Jenkins. Miss McMichaels.
23:00It's a disaster in there.
23:02There's something wrong with the collection.
23:04It's the fabric.
23:05Not now.
23:11The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:16The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:18We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:21Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisemovale?
23:23Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:26This is completely unprofessional.
23:28I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:32This is breach of contract.
23:36It's actually fixable.
23:39Mom, you can't seriously be thinking about helping me backstabbing vultures.
23:46Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:48Maisemovale Faux appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:51Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:55The question on everyone's mind?
23:57Is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion groups?
24:04This show doesn't happen.
24:06You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:09We're talking billions, homie.
24:11Billions.
24:12I'm so sorry.
24:23I'm so sorry.
24:25I'm so sorry.
24:27I'm so sorry.
24:28We're coming back now.
24:37Now.
24:39How?
24:40The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials. I can't magically make new dresses in an hour
24:46You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work
24:50If you don't those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket
24:54that's
24:56Billions of dollars, then you better figure something out because if you don't
25:02I'll make sure you never work in fashion again
25:11You
25:15Miss winter how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:20Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins claims about your personal life?
25:24Please respect
25:25Miss winter's privacy and for the record you'll also see who the real thief is
25:32Gathering evidence as we speak
25:40I
25:45Excuse me
25:48Excuse me
25:49It's okay, I'll be right
25:57What do you want Mia
26:04Vic I really need your help funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled
26:11Look I
26:12Know you're furious. I would be too
26:14But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second
26:17What about them their jobs are on the line with the show if we tank they're done Holly will fire
26:25them without a second thought
26:27Please if you care about them keeping their jobs
26:32Miranda and Pauline responsible for the show
26:35Yes, absolutely, and they're counting on this being a hit
26:39Please, Vic, not for me
26:41Please, Vic, not for me
26:42For them
26:43I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know for such a make-or-break show
26:49What exactly happened to them Mia?
26:54They
26:54They couldn't make it
26:56Holly cut the travel budget
26:59Is that right?
27:01Victoria
27:03I know I don't deserve your help
27:06They do
27:08Fine
27:11I'll help you
27:12But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline
27:14Not for you
27:26Oh my god it's Victoria winter the nuclear vec I need scissors thread and fresh lining fabric now
27:41I need royal fuchsia for this stitching regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric does anyone have royal fuchsia thread
27:51Would this work?
27:59Vincent, how did you
28:01I figured you might need some supplies
28:04So I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit
28:10This is perfect but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors, why would you help them?
28:18I'm not helping them
28:20I'm helping you
28:23I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return
28:26I have a design I've been saving
28:29Something special I've never shown anyone
28:31It's yours now
28:33I don't want your design, Victoria
28:37Then what do you want?
28:40You
28:42What?
28:47Your talent
28:49Your vision
28:50Come and work as Joven
28:53I'm in
28:55I'll work for you
28:57Just like that
28:58Just like that
28:59Now let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau
29:30She's doing it in minutes what would have taken us hours
29:34Whoa
29:35No wonder they call her the nuclear vec
29:38It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing
29:42The woman I replace making me look like an amateur
29:45Learn how to be myself
29:50Five minutes till showtime
29:51We made it
30:05Well did we pull the plug or not?
30:08We're good everything's back on track
30:10See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent.
30:17Yeah, right.
30:19This is exactly why I promoted you. You fix this, does not make them.
30:31To Victoria, the real hero of the night.
30:46Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:51Couldn't have done it without you.
30:55You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
31:04Well, well, still hanging around. I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
31:12Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:16What are you talking about?
31:18Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:22Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
31:28I will.
31:34Two new beginnings at Chauvin?
31:43What?
31:44Speaking of new beginnings. Emily's private school application is to do next month, right?
31:50I want to help. With her education.
31:53What?
31:55Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
32:00Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
32:02seen. I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you
32:12made from scratch. I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the
32:19fashion world. You remember that? I remember everything. I have followed your career all
32:29these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again. Why didn't you ever reach out? You were married, and
32:38then you weren't. And then you were building your career, and the timing just was never right. Until now.
32:57I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
33:13I should probably get this.
33:25Mia?
33:29God, I was so right about firing Victoria. That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic. And now I have
33:37an opportunity that can put you on the map for good. Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red
33:43carpet.
33:46Sean Gosling? The Sean Gosling? The very one. Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive. And if we play
33:54our cards right, the next face of Maison Nouveau's menswear. They're taking pitches now. If he picks yours, this changes
34:03everything. For you. For the brand. Where it is, Joven's in the running too. Land this. Vincent and his poor
34:11Victoria are done.
34:16Seal the deal? I'll bump your pay by 20%. I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
34:29God, what am I gonna do? I can't design menswear. I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help. Miranda
34:37and Felina are gone too. I'm completely on my own. If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris
34:46when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:53on my own.
35:12I'll go for it.
35:13Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:17You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.

46:53Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:59You've got Grace to sleep.
47:04Yeah.
47:06And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:11Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:20Remember, smile.
47:22We're about to make the streets.
47:26Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:29We don't follow trends.
47:30We create them.
47:37Satin black lapels.
47:39Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:42A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:45I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:54What is that bitch doing here?
48:01Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
48:05My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:11I didn't expect to see you here.
48:13I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:19I multitask.
48:21Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:25You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:30The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:33And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:38Pregnant woman talk, you know.
48:39Three exit employees and a viable CEO.
48:42What's next?
48:43A fake sale?
48:45Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:47You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:50And what real loyalty looks like.
49:05Sean, glad you could make it.
49:07We have something very special to show you.
49:13Vic.
49:16I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:20Congratulations.
49:21Thank you, Sean.
49:23It's good to see you.
49:25Let's begin the pitches.
49:28You ready to lose?
49:29You're out of your league.
49:31You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:41First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
50:01Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
50:14Beautiful work.
50:15Both teams.
50:20We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:27After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:34Maison Laveau.
50:35Oh, yes!
50:37Oh, my God.
50:38Of course.
50:40This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:53What the hell did you people put me in?
50:56Are you trying to kill me?
50:58Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
51:01Who designed this tuxedo?
51:02Did you even read the brief?
51:06I mean...
51:08Did you...
51:08You must have read the brief.
51:09It's not complicated.
51:11It says...
51:12No synthetic blends.
51:14I mean...
51:15It must be some kind of mistake.
51:17Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:19A mistake?
51:20I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:23Victoria.
51:24Please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:36I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:40I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:43And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:45She actually pays attention.
51:47After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:50The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline, which are then.
51:58Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
52:01Mia's design was the front runner all along.
52:03That's why they picked her first.
52:08Maybe everyone should see this.
52:16Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:23That's a new low.
52:25Even for you.
52:30Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:33So you know,
52:35I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:38for design theft.
52:41Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:44We're suspending all collaborations.
52:56Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:59You're blacklisted.
53:05Victoria, please.
53:15Victoria, please.
53:18I'll do anything.
53:19Please just help me save the company,
53:21the brand you built for 15 years.
53:24You made your choices, Holly.
53:26Now you live with them.
53:30Why would you go too far?
53:37Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer
53:40crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:42Social media is already calling it
53:44the Winter Revolution.
53:53To the best comeback in fashion history
53:56and to the women who made it happen.
53:59And to the maternity leave
54:01that actually means something.
54:06Mom,
54:07you might want to see this.
54:18Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:23Happy birthday to you!
54:29Guys, look!
54:32Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:35The scandal pushes fashion giant
54:36towards bankruptcy.
54:38Ouch!
54:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:42It's strange, isn't it?
54:48I gave them everything.
54:50Late nights,
54:51weekends,
54:52all the best years
54:54and they tossed us aside
54:55like we were nothing.
54:57Now it's all crashing down.
54:59I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:01Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:04Relief, sure,
55:05but also a little bit of grief.
55:08Look,
55:09who said that our best years
55:11are behind us?
55:12Look at this!
55:15Joven pushes for
55:16paid leave and parental support
55:18across all industries.
55:21Victoria,
55:21this is you!
55:22You did this!
55:25Here's to a future
55:26where women don't have to choose
55:28between their families
55:29and their careers.
55:30not just for us
55:32but for every woman
55:33who comes after.
55:35Careful, Vincent.
55:37I almost forgot the best part.
55:50Victoria Winter.
55:54Will you marry me?
56:00Yes!
56:01A thousand times yes!
56:03Woo!
56:05Woo!
56:05Woo!
56:07Woo!
56:08My heart lit home for your hands
56:13I've been spending all my days just trying to find a way
56:21Give me love and listen to my life
56:24Best birthday ever!
56:41You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this
56:45I came because I wanted to hear it from you
56:48When word got out you left. Clients bailed
56:53The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it
56:59You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly
57:05I know
57:07I know
57:09My father
57:12The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore
57:16I destroyed everything
57:19I thought slashing costs would save us
57:22But instead I gutted the company
57:25I didn't mean for it to end like this
57:29Maison Laveau isn't dead
57:30I bought it
57:32Last week
57:34The brand
57:36The archives
57:37Even the debt
57:39It's part of Jeven now
57:41You've won it. Why would you do that?
57:44To make sure that no more women
57:46Have to suffer because of policies like yours
57:51You win, Victoria
57:54I hope you do better than I did
57:56I'll do it differently
58:00Goodbye, Holly
58:18Miss Winter
58:19Miss Winter
58:20I just
58:20I wanted to thank you
58:22Because of your campaign
58:25Because of your campaign
58:26My company gave me maternity leave
58:28I can keep working
58:30And have my baby
58:32You changed everything
58:36Congratulations
58:38Wishing you and your little one every happiness
58:49Ready?
58:53Always
59:05And now
59:06Jovan's new collection
59:08Designed by Victoria Wintour and Mertul
59:11So many times
59:13We can love
59:16Every last minute on earth
