00:00:00I can't find a delivery anywhere. The entire Anya Winter-Spring collection is missing hours before the Paris runway show.
00:00:10I can't get the courier on the phone. This is a nightmare!
00:00:13Bad news. The delivery truck lost control.
00:00:17Thirty couture gouts. Destroyed. We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is Anya's biggest collection ever, okay?
00:00:26She 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.
00:00:41Didn't she graduate college like yesterday?
00:00:44She 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.
00:00:52Guys, there's no time to argue. The show is in five hours! What are we gonna do?
00:00:57Give me that.
00:01:05And this.
00:01:09What is she doing?
00:01:11She's not even using a pattern.
00:01:16I've never seen someone beat so quickly.
00:01:19Invisible stitching, it's immaculate.
00:01:23There you have it. A 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, but 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.
00:01:54Is that you?
00:01:55No! It still isn't right!
00:02:07Um...
00:02:08Miss Winter, I'm here to...
00:02:10I'm here for the fall internship.
00:02:12It's Anya.
00:02:14Why 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.
00:02:30So sorry that I ripped the fabric and destroyed the flowers.
00:02:33Sacrifices do need to be made in the interest of good design.
00:02:37Not everybody knows that.
00:02:40An entire team of couture legends and nobody could come up with something this inspired.
00:02:46Forget about the internship.
00:02:48You 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.
00:02:57Where 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 I need flowers.
00:03:10Stat!
00:03:14But we're gonna destroy this place!
00:03:15Sacrifices must be made in the interest of good design.
00:03:19Anya will understand.
00:03:28Holy cow.
00:03:30This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.
00:03:33You're a visionary.
00:03:34Now let's kill this fashion show.
00:03:37I'm speechless.
00:03:38I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:40This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:42Dior who?
00:03:43Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:45You all head back to the studio.
00:03:46I'll grab some champagne to celebrate.
00:03:47I'm speechless.
00:03:50I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:53This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:55Dior who?
00:03:56Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:04:09You all head back to the studio.
00:04:11I'll grab some champagne to celebrate.
00:04:12I can't believe Dany completed this entire collection overnight.
00:04:18Where'd she even come from?
00:04:19No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.
00:04:27What the hell is going on here?
00:04:29This is disgusting.
00:04:31Is 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.
00:04:39Jordan, who is this woman?
00:04:40Is she working with you on the PR team?
00:04:42PR?
00:04:43This woman is the daughter of Anya Winters.
00:04:47Vanessa got her degree from Central Saint Martins in London
00:04:51and is currently an editor for Vogue.
00:04:54And she'll be acting as CEO while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.
00:04:59Is this really the design team that created the top couture collection
00:05:03in 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...
00:05:09I didn't ask you to speak.
00:05:13You're fired.
00:05:14Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.
00:05:20Anya Winters is now the top couture collection in the entire world.
00:05:24Time to separate the fashion icons from the frogs.
00:05:28You think my mother is a hard ass?
00:05:30Just you wait.
00:05:31I expect only the most original, exciting sketches, lightning-fast designs,
00:05:37and perfect technicality.
00:05:40And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:42Who does she think she is?
00:05:44Miranda Priestly?
00:05:44Oh my god.
00:05:50What is this?
00:05:52Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:58No!
00:06:00That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!
00:06:02Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your steam.
00:06:09Jordan, be a doll and go get her a souvenir Eiffel Tower keychain as a thank you for her hard work.
00:06:16Oh yeah, and by the way, you're fired.
00:06:18Okay, now please, can somebody show me something? A collection?
00:06:28Congratulations!
00:06:32Who are you?
00:06:33You.
00:06:35You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:38You're fired.
00:06:40Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:43Danny Maxwell.
00:06:44Jordan, what does this lumpy little girl do here?
00:06:49Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.
00:06:52She's an intern?
00:06:53Mmm.
00:06:54So what?
00:06:55You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom to throw a rager
00:06:59the night before the biggest couture show in the history of this house?
00:07:03That's not what we...
00:07:05I would say we could take out the damages from your salary.
00:07:08But 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.
00:07:15Jordan!
00:07:16That's...
00:07:17That's confidential.
00:07:18So you're scamming my mother?
00:07:20You know, she might be getting old, but she's not an idiot.
00:07:24And what?
00:07:25This is how you spend the money?
00:07:27No, no.
00:07:28Look, the team was up all night working.
00:07:30Our hands are cramping.
00:07:31We're tired, but we saved the spring show.
00:07:35Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:07:38Celebrate.
00:07:38By destroying a studio, lying, talking back to your superiors, drinking on the job?
00:07:48No wonder my mother had a heart attack.
00:07:51Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:55Unless, of course, you're just as useless as she is.
00:07:58Or 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.
00:08:07But there's no way he's going to throw me under the bus.
00:08:09Danny's my girlfriend.
00:08:10If I take her side, I'll be committing career suicide.
00:08:14You're right.
00:08:16Danny's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.
00:08:20Jordan, seriously?
00:08:22What are you still doing here, intern?
00:08:25Pack up your shit and get out of here.
00:08:27If that's how it's going to be.
00:08:29This isn't Danny's fault.
00:08:30She's the one who saved...
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:33Do you want to go with her?
00:08:35If anyone else here helps Danny destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.
00:08:42It's okay, guys.
00:08:43Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:08:45You've all earned your spots.
00:08:48It was my fault.
00:08:51I'm leaving.
00:08:56How could you?
00:09:01I'll be back.
00:09:03Disposed of that piece of shit.
00:09:07Baby!
00:09:09I'm so sorry.
00:09:12We've been together for two years.
00:09:13You couldn't even defend me?
00:09:14She would have fired me on the spot.
00:09:17Look.
00:09:18We both know that I don't have a degree.
00:09:21And 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?
00:09:34Well, you better spring for caviar, too.
00:09:38You owe me big time, Jordan.
00:09:41I promise I'm going to make it up to you.
00:09:45Let's meet tonight at 8.
00:09:46Okay?
00:09:48Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:09:51I'll see you then.
00:09:51You're frumpy little girlfriend is a recipe for bad press.
00:10:02So are those other big-mouth bitches.
00:10:05Not a good look for the PR manager.
00:10:07Thanks not much.
00:10:08She better not be.
00:10:10She better not be.
00:10:12You're hot, you know.
00:10:15My mother wants to start a menswear line.
00:10:18You could be the PR director.
00:10:21What do you prefer?
00:10:22An unemployed fashion flop?
00:10:24Or a rich, powerful boss?
00:10:27Say it.
00:10:31Mommy.
00:10:32What else?
00:10:34What else?
00:10:36Does baby need a change?
00:10:38Baby needs a change.
00:10:39Mm-hmm.
00:10:40Yeah, he does.
00:10:41It's stinky.
00:10:42Stinky, son of a bitch.
00:10:45Yes, mother.
00:10:47Mm-hmm.
00:10:48That's a boy.
00:10:50Mm-hmm.
00:10:50Stupid people.
00:10:52They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:10:57I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:11:02I have stylists breathing down my neck after that marvel of a couture show.
00:11:07I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.
00:11:09Thank God we have her on the team.
00:11:12I know how you can be, Vanessa.
00:11:16You better treat her right.
00:11:20Maxwell?
00:11:21Oh, God.
00:11:22Is that the frumpy intern I just fired?
00:11:24Hello?
00:11:25I'm speaking to you.
00:11:26Yes, mother.
00:11:27One second.
00:11:30Is there any other Maxwell on the design team?
00:11:32I'm going to stop this at some point.
00:11:34Oh, God.
00:11:38She single-handedly saved my last two shows.
00:11:41A creative genius.
00:11:43I mean, I snatched her up right out of college to make sure those other couture houses couldn't
00:11:48get their hands on her.
00:11:49Without her, this whole house will crumble.
00:11:57Don't worry, mother.
00:12:00I'll treat her like a queen.
00:12:02You better.
00:12:04And there's another Maxwell.
00:12:06What is her name?
00:12:08Anyway, she is a fucking disaster.
00:12:11A brain-dead Nepo baby intern who never shows up.
00:12:14And when she does, she's useless.
00:12:16Do me a favor.
00:12:20Fire her?
00:12:21Thank God.
00:12:22Of course, that tasteless tornado I fired was just a pointless intern.
00:12:27Don't worry, mother.
00:12:28I already handled it.
00:12:32I'll come check on things the second they discharge me from this hellhole.
00:12:38Rest up.
00:12:39And I'll take care of everything.
00:12:40I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser.
00:12:47Now, where were we?
00:12:54What the hell do you want?
00:12:57The studio phone's been ringing off the hook.
00:12:59Well, who is it?
00:13:00It's Solea's team.
00:13:02Solea?
00:13:03As in the most famous actress in the world?
00:13:05She needs a dress for the Met Gala.
00:13:06She wants to see sketches for five looks inspired by the new collection in one hour.
00:13:15Well, let's hope Maxwell can pull this off.
00:13:20Where is Brynn Maxwell?
00:13:24Jordan, get Brynn on the phone and tell her nicely to get her ass here now.
00:13:36What happened?
00:13:38I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection.
00:13:41But guess they've got bigger problems.
00:13:46Danny, the bumpy dumbass.
00:13:49She left her old sketch portfolio.
00:13:52Oh my gosh, these are iconic.
00:13:54No wonder Anya was obsessed with her.
00:13:58I rolled up hungover five hours late after almost ruining the Paris fashion show.
00:14:04I'm definitely getting fired.
00:14:07Where are you?
00:14:08We need five sketches to send to Solea's team for her Met Gala look ASAP.
00:14:12Miss Winter said if you pull this off, you'll be on fast track to becoming creative director.
00:14:18Be right there.
00:14:21Why would they ask me, a brand new intern, to dress the most famous woman in the world?
00:14:27Whatever.
00:14:28I'll use Danny's sketches and no one will know.
00:14:30Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a star.
00:14:35Well, Brynn's handling it.
00:14:37Nice work.
00:14:39Man, dressed in Solea, that's like, I'm so sick.
00:14:43I know.
00:14:45This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.
00:14:48And as acting CEO of this fashion house, I'll be invited to the best parties with the most rich and famous people.
00:14:56And you can be my D.
00:14:59Unless, of course, you want to go with Danny.
00:15:05Where is Jordan?
00:15:06He's 20 when it's late.
00:15:09I don't want her.
00:15:11I was going to break up with her tonight anyway.
00:15:14I want you.
00:15:17Duh.
00:15:17Good choice.
00:15:21Guess I'll just drag him here myself.
00:15:25Gosh, you're so powerful, so sexy.
00:15:36It's her anniversary and you're fucking the woman who fired me?
00:15:39I don't know.
00:15:43She is a fashion superstar, okay?
00:15:45And you're just...
00:15:47An unemployed loser.
00:15:49You spineless dick.
00:15:51You psycho bitch!
00:15:52Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:15:54That's it, you cheating piece of...
00:15:55Danny, Danny, you are embarrassing yourself.
00:15:59I'm the embarrassment?
00:16:00Do you know what I mean?
00:16:01Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.
00:16:03And now you're shoving your tongue down your new boss's throat.
00:16:06You know your place, you tacky, talentless slump.
00:16:12Face it, Danny.
00:16:14You're a fool.
00:16:15And you can't get mad at me for...
00:16:18upgrading.
00:16:18I love you, Jordan.
00:16:24And the only reason you're here is because of...
00:16:26Because I told Anya to make you PR manager.
00:16:30Are you kidding me?
00:16:31More ridiculous lies.
00:16:33You?
00:16:34You're a deadbeat intern.
00:16:36As if my mother would have anything to do with you.
00:16:39We are over, Danny.
00:16:49I'm calling security.
00:16:50Why don't you call your mother instead?
00:16:52The founder of this house.
00:16:54She'll tell you that you're making a huge mistake.
00:16:57You know what, enough with the bullshit, Danny.
00:16:59It's cringe.
00:17:00Is this how you got your job here?
00:17:02By spewing insane lies?
00:17:04Hi, security.
00:17:05Yes, there's a delusional ex-employee
00:17:07who's refusing to leave my studio.
00:17:12Oh, Danny.
00:17:14Don't be sad.
00:17:14Look, I get it.
00:17:16I'm powerful.
00:17:18Smart.
00:17:20Experienced.
00:17:22And you?
00:17:23Oh, you're jobless.
00:17:25Talentless.
00:17:26And irrelevant.
00:17:28Look, if I were you,
00:17:30I would go on home and drown your sorrows
00:17:32in a bottle of cheap champagne.
00:17:34Unless, of course, you'd rather spend your last night
00:17:36in Paris in a jail cell.
00:17:37Fine.
00:17:39I'm done here anyway.
00:17:44And where do you think you're going, Danny?
00:17:47Guards.
00:17:48She's over here.
00:17:49Who the hell are you?
00:17:53I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture collection.
00:17:56Bryn Maxwell.
00:17:58Oh, wow.
00:18:00Well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.
00:18:03Oh, is that an archival saloon bag?
00:18:07Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.
00:18:12It's no wonder you created such a groundbreaking collection.
00:18:14These dumbasses don't even know that I'm totally jacking Danny's glory.
00:18:18Who cares?
00:18:19As long as Anya's daughter thinks I'm a genius,
00:18:22I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.
00:18:25Vanessa.
00:18:27I know who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring collection.
00:18:31She's the one that made the routing error that caused the truck to crash.
00:18:35She's obviously trying to sabotage the brand.
00:18:38What?
00:18:46Danny's done it again.
00:18:47You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?
00:18:51Danny Maxwell?
00:18:52She was just fired from Anya Winters' fashion house.
00:18:55The show's a hit.
00:18:56How is that possible?
00:18:57Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.
00:19:00Of course.
00:19:02I would love to see the look on Anya Winters' face
00:19:04when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of a daughter fired her star designer.
00:19:09Call Danny up.
00:19:10Let's get her here.
00:19:11But Anya Winters is the number one fashion house in the world.
00:19:13We're not even ranked top ten.
00:19:15Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Danny's door already.
00:19:18You really think she would work for us?
00:19:19I'll do anything to get Danny on this team.
00:19:22Rumor has it that Leia's looking for a new designer for her Met Gala look.
00:19:26And if we can dress the most famous woman on the planet on the biggest night in fashion,
00:19:30we'll be the new brand on top.
00:19:34Get the jet ready.
00:19:35I'm going to Paris.
00:19:37And I'm not leaving without Danny Maxwell.
00:19:42Sabotage?
00:19:43Are you kidding me?
00:19:44You can take the fall from my stupid mistake, Danny.
00:19:47Who will believe you over me?
00:19:49You were out partying all night when you should have been confirming the route with the courier.
00:19:53And you destroyed my mother's studio on your drunken bender.
00:19:56You all see me as some incompetent intern just because I'm not wearing the latest off-the-runway clothes.
00:20:01Maybe daddy's black card can buy you Celine, but can it buy you talent too?
00:20:06You think I caused that disaster?
00:20:09You think she is your savior?
00:20:10Well then best of luck when Anya comes back and sees what a mess you've made.
00:20:15This is your mess, Danny Maxwell.
00:20:17I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate BS.
00:20:22Don't touch me.
00:20:24Jordan, don't let them do this.
00:20:25We both know you're not capable of handling the outcome.
00:20:28First you threaten Brynn, and then you threaten me.
00:20:31You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Danny.
00:20:36You know, jealousy looks hideous on you.
00:20:38So, why don't you go ahead and pick up your mistakes and get the fuck out before you get locked up.
00:20:44What can they even arrest me for?
00:20:46Let's see.
00:20:48Vandalism, insubordination, and that sweater is definitely a crime against fashion.
00:20:53Don't you know that I can end your entire fashion career with one phone call to my mother?
00:20:58Then go ahead.
00:20:59Do it.
00:21:00If Vanessa calls Anya, she'll find out that Danny's the real star designer.
00:21:08Vanessa, your mom's in recovery.
00:21:11Shouldn't you go to the fashion council first instead?
00:21:14To make sure another fashion house isn't infected with Danny's terrible taste?
00:21:18Brynn's right.
00:21:19You should go right to the source.
00:21:21Do not let her get away with this.
00:21:22I have all my mother's industry contacts at my fingertips.
00:21:27I'm texting the fashion council now.
00:21:29Danny Maxwell is blacklisted from Anya Winter.
00:21:34Other designers, beware of this dangerous scammer.
00:21:38No other fashion house will want, you know.
00:21:40Good luck getting a part-time job at Forever 21.
00:21:43Guess that's that then.
00:21:45But before I go, I have one question for you, Vanessa.
00:21:49Vanessa, does Anya, the CEO and creator of this fashion house, know that you fired me?
00:21:55What kind of idiot do you think I am, Danny?
00:21:58My mother practically begged me to fire your incompetent ass.
00:22:01You thought you could roll up here in your bargain bin sweater and call yourself a fashion icon?
00:22:08Your career is so hopeful.
00:22:10Hey, security, can you take her away and throw her to something?
00:22:14Jail cell, police, whatever.
00:22:16Get your hands off of her.
00:22:19That is my new creative director.
00:22:25Danny Maxwell will join Claude St. Jean's own fashion house.
00:22:29Claude St. John of St. John Couture?
00:22:32You came all the way from New York for me?
00:22:34Of course.
00:22:35I flew straight here.
00:22:39Nice to see you again, Danny.
00:22:41I haven't seen you since I interned at Valentino my freshman year.
00:22:44Wait, you went to Valentino with him?
00:22:49How'd you get that job, Danny?
00:22:51You scam your way into that one too?
00:22:55God, Danny.
00:22:56We went out and I had no idea that you were such a grifter.
00:22:59I feel so, so used.
00:23:04So this is how Anya Winter treats their most talented designers.
00:23:08You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.
00:23:10Claude, I...
00:23:11That is Mr. St. Jean to you.
00:23:13And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.
00:23:17Yeah, what are you, a mid-level PR pawn?
00:23:19You should probably know when to shut the hell up.
00:23:21Mr. St. John, Danny here has done irreparable damage and...
00:23:26Sorry, who the hell are you?
00:23:27Obviously, I.
00:23:28I'm right.
00:23:29I don't have time for your rambling.
00:23:30Enough!
00:23:31This idiot destroyed my mother's collection, wrecked her entire Paris fashion studio,
00:23:37ruined the entire Couture show, almost lost us millions.
00:23:40And why are we still talking about her?
00:23:42Did you not ask your mother who Danny was before you fired her?
00:23:45What kind of idiot do you think I am?
00:23:52My mother runs this fashion house with an iron fist.
00:23:55Of course, I consulted her, and you know what she said?
00:23:58She said that this idiot Danny is a Nepo baby intern who scammed her way into the job.
00:24:05Brain dead.
00:24:06Anya actually said this.
00:24:08And a useless disaster.
00:24:09She quite literally said to me, do me a favor and fire this bitch.
00:24:13Anya practically begged me to work for her.
00:24:17She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.
00:24:19Okay, we all know Anya, okay?
00:24:21And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything.
00:24:23Especially to work with a deadweight intern.
00:24:27Then why are you still here?
00:24:28What, you little...
00:24:29Oh, don't even try it.
00:24:32Danny.
00:24:34Will you come with me and be my new creative director of St. John Couture?
00:24:37God, I don't know.
00:24:38Hey, whatever you are making, I will double it.
00:24:40Okay, her salary is 500k.
00:24:42She's literally robbing us blinds.
00:24:45A million it is then?
00:24:50Please, a million dollar salary?
00:24:52Your fashion house doesn't even rank in the top ten.
00:24:55Are you clinically insane?
00:24:57You're an even bigger bullshitter than Danny.
00:25:01A million dollars for a talentless intern.
00:25:04Way to dig your own grave.
00:25:06I thought I told you to shut up.
00:25:10Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
00:25:12Seriously, but it's not about the money.
00:25:16Danny, if you join my fashion house,
00:25:19the title of creative director will be yours.
00:25:21Creative control over the next season's Couture Collection
00:25:23will be yours.
00:25:25My designers, my studio, my full trust.
00:25:29And hell, if you want me, I'm even yours too.
00:25:31Oh, Claude.
00:25:36Okay, look, I get it.
00:25:37You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand,
00:25:40and I respect you for that.
00:25:42So let me remind you that Danny is a lazy scam artist.
00:25:47Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.
00:25:50In that case...
00:25:51Okay, what is all this shit?
00:26:00This shit is everything that your mother gifted me.
00:26:02Her one and only key to her personal studio,
00:26:05the business black card in my name,
00:26:07which I could have used to repair the damages,
00:26:09but I guess that's not my concern anymore.
00:26:12You can tell Anya that I, Danny Maxwell,
00:26:16am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house
00:26:18and never, ever come back.
00:26:22Aw.
00:26:24So sad for us.
00:26:26Not.
00:26:27You did not deserve any special treatment, Danny.
00:26:30I mean, just look at you.
00:26:31Your complete fashion flop.
00:26:34You know, you are all so wrapped up in beauty standards
00:26:36and bullshit that you can't even see the design talent
00:26:38that is right in front of you.
00:26:42Danny, it is true.
00:26:44We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter
00:26:46for the number one title spot.
00:26:47Then I'm going to change that.
00:26:49I'll join as creative director.
00:26:51And by this time, next season's runway show,
00:26:55Saint Jean Couture will be number one.
00:27:01You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Danny.
00:27:04Losing your spot at the number one fashion house
00:27:06to go and work for this desperate up-and-comer.
00:27:11Although, who else would hire you?
00:27:14Embarrassed for her.
00:27:15You know, Vanessa's going to burn this place to the ground
00:27:18and you are going to be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.
00:27:22And something tells me
00:27:23you're not qualified for that, are you?
00:27:25Qualified?
00:27:26And what exactly are you qualified for?
00:27:29Propositioning idiotic interns
00:27:30to go out and peddle up your hideous designs
00:27:34to some micro-influencers?
00:27:37What?
00:27:41I did.
00:27:44She did.
00:27:47She will.
00:27:49Who is that?
00:27:50That was Soleil's team.
00:27:53They've asked for five sketches from Danny
00:27:55for her Met Gala look.
00:27:56What was that about micro-influencers?
00:27:59If I'm not mistaken,
00:28:01she has more followers than anyone in the world?
00:28:05Absolutely not.
00:28:06Brynn is supposed to design Soleil's gown.
00:28:09Brynn?
00:28:11Guess we got ourselves some competition.
00:28:13This isn't a competition.
00:28:14It's an all-out fashion war.
00:28:17Well, I hope you're ready to die on the battlefield.
00:28:19Let's go, Danny.
00:28:20Gladly.
00:28:21I'm losing brain cells talking to these people.
00:28:25May the best designer win.
00:28:29Don't worry about her, Vanessa.
00:28:31Just send these to Soleil's team
00:28:32and there's no way she won't pick us.
00:28:37I'll beat Danny with her own designs.
00:28:40Oh my God, Brynn.
00:28:41These are incredible.
00:28:42Between these and the Spring Couture Collection,
00:28:47you've really proven yourself.
00:28:49I'm officially naming you
00:28:51as Creative Director of Anya Winter Couture.
00:28:54This is a dream come true.
00:28:59And don't forget about me
00:29:01in the face of the menswear line.
00:29:06Great.
00:29:07One step at a time.
00:29:09Stick with me
00:29:10and you'll be very satisfied.
00:29:14Every designer will be gunning for our spot
00:29:17as top couture collection in the world.
00:29:19That's why we need to dress Soleil at the Met Gala.
00:29:23And no one can touch us.
00:29:25Not even Claude and that hack Danny.
00:29:28I won't let you down, Vanessa.
00:29:29Now, walk me through how you designed
00:29:32the couture collection in four hours.
00:29:35How did I do it?
00:29:38Oh God, I can't design for crap.
00:29:41I have no idea how Danny pulled that off.
00:29:43What the hell am I going to tell her?
00:29:45I used a highly specialized sewing technique
00:29:50that I learned in my final year of fashion school.
00:29:53The details are really boring.
00:29:55I could show you later.
00:29:57Of course.
00:29:57You have your own technique.
00:29:59You are the creative genius.
00:30:01I mean, these are already Met Gala worthy.
00:30:03If you can bring them to life
00:30:04as well as you did the spring collection,
00:30:06you have nothing to worry about.
00:30:08Nothing at all.
00:30:09I am now the creative director
00:30:12of the number one fashion house in the world.
00:30:15Step aside, Danny.
00:30:17I'm the new couture queen now.
00:30:21What do you want?
00:30:24Anya, it's Claude and Jean.
00:30:26Listen, I'm just calling to let you know
00:30:28that we are officially in the running
00:30:29to dress Soleil at her Met Gala.
00:30:32What?
00:30:33We are the number one couture house
00:30:36in the world right now.
00:30:37Why would she want you to dress her
00:30:39as if some young, arrogant, dumbass could...
00:30:42Listen, I'm not calling to discuss this.
00:30:44I'm just simply letting you know.
00:30:49Cheers.
00:30:51What the hell is that rat up to?
00:30:55He knows I have a design prodigy at my right hand.
00:30:59Why would he think anybody
00:31:01could beat a superstar like Danny?
00:31:03I mean...
00:31:05Unless...
00:31:10Mother, you'll never believe
00:31:13the sketches I got from...
00:31:14Tell me you didn't fire
00:31:16my most talented designer!
00:31:20Calm down, Mother,
00:31:22or else you'll have another heart attack.
00:31:23Like I told you already,
00:31:24I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.
00:31:27Why the hell
00:31:29is Claude St. John competing with us
00:31:32for the Met Gala partnership?
00:31:33Well, I just figured
00:31:35it was pointless to talk him out of it
00:31:37when he's obviously going to crash and burn
00:31:38along with that talentless intern.
00:31:41They'll design something cheap
00:31:42and tacky for Soleil.
00:31:44And then she'll tell everybody she knows
00:31:47not to touch St. John couture
00:31:49with a ten-foot pole.
00:31:51And then their sad little fashion careers.
00:31:54They'll be over it before they even started.
00:31:55So you gaslit Claude
00:31:59into hiring our cast-off?
00:32:01Sure did.
00:32:02He's convinced that the talentless Nepo baby
00:32:05is the creative genius behind our spring line.
00:32:07That's brilliant.
00:32:10And I thought you're a weak little pushover
00:32:13like your father, but...
00:32:15Maybe you're more like me than I knew.
00:32:17Vanessa,
00:32:18I want you to take full control
00:32:21over the Met Gala partnership with Soleil.
00:32:23Oh, thank you.
00:32:25No more talking.
00:32:27It's time to get to work,
00:32:28and we need to make damn sure
00:32:30Soleil picks our gown for the gala.
00:32:33We are going to make Claude St. John
00:32:36the laughingstock of the fashion industry.
00:32:42Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.
00:32:44Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.
00:32:47Are you sure she can handle this?
00:32:49Did I ask your opinion?
00:32:51My daughter can't fuck this up.
00:32:54Not with Danny Maxwell designing the gown for Soleil.
00:32:58Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude St. John
00:33:02to hire our strung-out sad sack of an intern?
00:33:06I get to sit back
00:33:08and watch Danny work her magic for Soleil's gown
00:33:12while that hack of a talent
00:33:15completely tanks what's left of Claude's fashion house.
00:33:20So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?
00:33:34It's insane what you've accomplished.
00:33:37I mean, four years ago,
00:33:38you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino,
00:33:40and I'll look at you.
00:33:42Your own couture line.
00:33:44It's everything you ever wanted.
00:33:47Not everything.
00:33:50Well, what about you, Danny?
00:33:51I mean, when I met you,
00:33:52you were a quiet little intern
00:33:53and now you're a fashion genius.
00:33:57Nah, I'm serious.
00:33:58I mean, that work you did
00:33:59on that spring collection,
00:34:00it was, it was inspiring.
00:34:08Yes.
00:34:10Of course.
00:34:14We'll be there.
00:34:17So, Leah loved your Metcala sketches, huh?
00:34:19She chose her favorite from you and Brayden
00:34:21and she wants you both to show her a sample.
00:34:23Oh my God, when?
00:34:27Tomorrow afternoon?
00:34:28You have 24 hours to make this dress for Soleil.
00:34:31Better get started.
00:34:33I mean, we just got back from New York and I...
00:34:35You created an entire couture collection in what?
00:34:38Four hours?
00:34:40This should be a breeze, right?
00:34:41Right.
00:34:42I can totally pull this off.
00:34:44Then do it.
00:34:46Now!
00:34:49You think you can pull off creating a Metcala gown
00:34:52for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?
00:34:54Who do you think you're talking to?
00:34:55Well, whatever it is,
00:34:57it just needs to be better than this.
00:34:59This is our competition.
00:35:00That's my sketch.
00:35:05That fraud print's been stealing my designs.
00:35:11Of course.
00:35:12She has no real talent of her own.
00:35:18Damn.
00:35:19That dress is insane.
00:35:20A skirt made of stained glass?
00:35:25Insane is right.
00:35:26It's going to be nearly impossible
00:35:27to sew a bodice that can support the weight of the skirt.
00:35:30If Soleil puts on this gown,
00:35:32it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:35:34Prina wants to be a fashion icon so bad.
00:35:38How will she pull us off?
00:35:39Then it's an easy win, right?
00:35:42We just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.
00:35:44Not exactly.
00:35:47I'm going to make the same exact dress,
00:35:49only better.
00:35:51Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.
00:35:54But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.
00:35:58I said nearly impossible.
00:36:04Bryn can try to rip off my designs all she wants,
00:36:08but without the brains or skills to back it up,
00:36:10there's no way she's going to pull it off.
00:36:12And if she tries,
00:36:14that gown is going to fall apart faster
00:36:16than you can say fashion victim.
00:36:21Let's remember this day,
00:36:23the last day that Claude Sejourn Couture
00:36:26will be at the bottom of the fashion food chase.
00:36:29By this time tomorrow,
00:36:32we'll be the new rulers of the Couture kingdom.
00:36:38What the hell is this?
00:36:40Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress
00:36:41to the bottom of the dress?
00:36:43Oh, my God.
00:36:45Bryn, the skirt is too heavy.
00:36:47Oh, no excuses!
00:36:48We have four hours to make a dress for Salaya.
00:36:58Gosh, I wish I was getting trash at a club right now.
00:37:00Bryn!
00:37:02How's everything going?
00:37:03Great!
00:37:03I just dropped my scissors.
00:37:06We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:37:09Phone call.
00:37:11I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:37:13Now!
00:37:14Don't worry, Mother.
00:37:15I have everything under control.
00:37:17That clown Claude and that fraud designer
00:37:19are going down.
00:37:22You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:37:24Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:37:26Keep it up.
00:37:30And there might be another promotion in your future.
00:37:37If I can pull this off,
00:37:39I'll go down in fashion history.
00:37:41Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:37:43Denny.
00:38:00Denny.
00:38:01Wake up.
00:38:03Come on.
00:38:07Let's get you to bed.
00:38:13Good morning, superstar.
00:38:39This is it.
00:38:41The gown that can make or break me.
00:38:43You should be proud, Denny.
00:38:54It's exceptional.
00:38:56Just like you.
00:38:58Thanks, I...
00:39:00I couldn't have done it without you.
00:39:09Oh, God.
00:39:10I need to change what I'm wearing
00:39:12to meet the most famous woman in the world.
00:39:13Don't worry about it.
00:39:15I had my editor friend Marco
00:39:17pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.
00:39:21Pick anything you like.
00:39:29See you at the meeting.
00:39:30Gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:39:41What am I going to do?
00:39:44Brynn!
00:39:44That better be the best stress you've ever made.
00:39:53Let's go.
00:39:54Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:39:57Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:40:00We're going to get that Met Gala partnership.
00:40:03In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:40:04Where's your top secret weapon?
00:40:06She'll be here soon.
00:40:07She'll make a big impression on Salaya.
00:40:10Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:40:14I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world
00:40:16will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:40:19Her talent speaks for itself.
00:40:21Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.
00:40:27I just have to find a way to switch mine and Danny's garment bags
00:40:30when no one's looking.
00:40:31It's not like Salaya would even trust
00:40:33that unstylish little piece of
00:40:36Danny.
00:40:47You look stunning.
00:40:48Thanks.
00:40:52Speechless.
00:40:53Is that a first?
00:40:55Are those that...
00:40:56One-of-a-kind Anya Winterfell couture books?
00:40:59Yes.
00:41:00I am.
00:41:01Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:41:04She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:41:05They were a gift for designing her final look
00:41:08in her fall collection.
00:41:09What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:41:12Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern,
00:41:15but taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:18That's a whole new look.
00:41:19Taking credit for another designer's work.
00:41:23Friend, you know a thing or two about that.
00:41:26Watch, you...
00:41:26Careful now.
00:41:27You think you're some design protege, Danny?
00:41:31This...
00:41:32Give me that.
00:41:34This is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.
00:41:38If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's going to see that I'm a total fraud.
00:41:46Soleil, I will see you now.
00:41:48Designers only.
00:41:49For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.
00:41:52Hey, you've got this.
00:41:58There's no way she's not going to pick you.
00:42:04Everything is riding on this Met Gala partnership.
00:42:07Don't fuck it up.
00:42:08I won't let you down.
00:42:12Soleil is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.
00:42:15You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.
00:42:18Just don't touch anything.
00:42:23The dress you made?
00:42:24Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design?
00:42:28Or is it stolen?
00:42:31I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:33You mean you didn't steal my portfolio
00:42:36and pass off my sketches as yours
00:42:39so you could dress the most famous woman in the world for the Met Gala?
00:42:42Tell me, Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle?
00:42:48That dress you designed is beautiful,
00:42:51but very, very complicated.
00:42:56How did you manage to pull that off?
00:42:58We'll just see.
00:43:00Won't we?
00:43:01Yes, we will.
00:43:02Oh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:13If I don't do something fast,
00:43:15everyone's going to find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:17I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame,
00:43:34and I'm not letting Danny, that disaster, take it from me.
00:43:37Bye-bye, Danny.
00:43:51So, Leia's arriving now.
00:43:53No photos, no sucking up,
00:43:55and no touching.
00:43:56Unless she touches you.
00:43:57Got it?
00:43:58Got it.
00:43:58Okay.
00:43:58So, Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:44:09It's so nice to meet you.
00:44:11Where's the other one?
00:44:12She must be running a little bit late.
00:44:15I hate people who waste my time.
00:44:17I think she saw my gown,
00:44:18and she felt inadequate.
00:44:20Let's see it then.
00:44:24Oh!
00:44:25Oh!
00:44:26Oh!
00:44:27Bryn knocked me out and stole my dress.
00:44:44I knew she was a snake,
00:44:45but I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:44:50The sample preview is starting now,
00:44:52and I have nothing to show.
00:44:57Or maybe I did.
00:45:05I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:45:11Sorry, fam.
00:45:13It's my Pisces moon.
00:45:15This is, like, the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:19I feel connected to it on, like, a cosmic level.
00:45:22I must wear this dress.
00:45:24I knew you would love it.
00:45:26But what about the other designer?
00:45:27She might...
00:45:28She's late.
00:45:29I'll give her three seconds.
00:45:31If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:45:33Three, two...
00:45:35Wait!
00:45:38I'm so sorry I'm late, Soleil.
00:45:39I had a little bump in the rug.
00:45:44I suppose I can forgive you.
00:45:46Mercury is in retrograde.
00:45:49Nice gown, Bryn.
00:45:50I wish I could say the same, Dani, but...
00:45:53You are stinks.
00:45:57Gee.
00:45:57I wonder why that is.
00:46:00This dress is so trippy.
00:46:03My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.
00:46:07Okay, but you're not, like, crying.
00:46:08I mean, like, mine is still better.
00:46:11Right?
00:46:13I wouldn't say that.
00:46:15What?
00:46:17Isn't that crazy?
00:46:19That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me
00:46:22and Soleil still likes my design better?
00:46:25How much longer can you keep up this shriek?
00:46:28I must know.
00:46:30What was your inspiration?
00:46:32I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out
00:46:38and you get the trash and make a treasure.
00:46:43Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.
00:46:46Or like a rat from a dumpster.
00:46:49I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.
00:46:53Dani, I feel like you really get me.
00:46:56You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:46:58Okay, well, what about my vision?
00:47:01What about my art?
00:47:03Brynn's right.
00:47:05She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:47:09Brynn, tell us how exactly
00:47:12did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:47:16Crap, I have no idea how Dani made this.
00:47:21What do I say?
00:47:23How did I do it?
00:47:25You're not gatekeeping your creative process from Soleil, are you?
00:47:32If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala,
00:47:35doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:47:39It's true, Soleil doesn't like gatekeepers.
00:47:44It's a simple question, Brynn.
00:47:46If you can't answer it, then like,
00:47:48did you really even make the dress?
00:47:51I think the real question here
00:47:53is why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:47:57Clearly she's trying to steal my technique
00:47:59because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:48:01Okay, this taped-together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:48:05It's an elementary school art project.
00:48:08Soleil, you cannot wear Dani's dress.
00:48:11I mean, look at it.
00:48:11It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:48:14Besides, it's made out of New York Street trash.
00:48:19She's right.
00:48:20It does kind of have, like, a fishy smell to it.
00:48:24Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:48:28Well, obviously this is just a sample.
00:48:30The real dress would not...
00:48:31Okay, but my sample is pristine.
00:48:33I mean, Soleil, you could put this dress on
00:48:36right now and walk the runway,
00:48:38but Dani's?
00:48:40Dani's is probably made out of
00:48:42disease, rat feces, and
00:48:44meat juice.
00:48:48Oh, God.
00:48:49You know I'm a diehard vegan.
00:48:52I've made my decision.
00:48:54The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala
00:48:56is...
00:48:59Brynn's.
00:49:00I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala.
00:49:05It's too big of a risk.
00:49:07Even for me.
00:49:08Oh, I'm sorry, Dani.
00:49:10But it's easier to go back to trash when...
00:49:12you are...
00:49:14trash.
00:49:15But, you know,
00:49:17I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:49:20Brynn, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:49:23Like, like, right now?
00:49:25You made this dress in 24 hours.
00:49:28Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:49:30Once Soleil sees Brynn for the fraud she is,
00:49:33she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:49:36Yeah.
00:49:37Brynn, why don't you show us all
00:49:39exactly what you can do?
00:49:41Now.
00:49:42I really work better alone.
00:49:51Not today you don't.
00:49:53Do you want me to wear your dress to the Met Gala or not?
00:49:55This is it.
00:49:57This is it.
00:49:59The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.
00:50:03The moment my talents were finally re-recognized.
00:50:07Salaya,
00:50:08Hannah Summer,
00:50:09the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine,
00:50:11is here to see you.
00:50:12Oh my god!
00:50:13And she's the chair of the Met Gala board.
00:50:15She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:50:17Maybe they're going to do a feature.
00:50:19Oh my god, she's coming up here right now.
00:50:25Wait, you're not Hannah.
00:50:28Miss Summer had to take a call in the car
00:50:30and sent me up instead.
00:50:31I'm her personal assistant,
00:50:33here to deliver a message.
00:50:36On Anya Winter's suggestion
00:50:37and by the Fashion Council's orders,
00:50:40Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry
00:50:44and banned from the Met Gala for life.
00:50:49Banned?
00:50:50What the hell for?
00:50:52Insubordination,
00:50:53sabotage amounting to millions of dollars
00:50:55and potential losses,
00:50:56a general lack of personal style.
00:51:01Those aren't just faceless lies.
00:51:03I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.
00:51:07How dare you come into Salaya's personal studio,
00:51:10waste her precious time
00:51:12knowing you are hated by literally everyone
00:51:14in the fashion industry.
00:51:16Are you trying to tank her career?
00:51:17This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:51:22This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:51:25Get her out of here.
00:51:27Now.
00:51:32Congratulations.
00:51:33I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:51:36And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:51:41Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:51:44Hey, get your hands off right now.
00:51:47You okay?
00:51:50Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:51:52Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life, too.
00:51:55Banned?
00:51:56By who?
00:51:58Hannah Summer herself.
00:52:00The editor-in-chief of Vogue
00:52:02and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny.
00:52:06This is the best day of my life.
00:52:08Mine, too.
00:52:10Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:52:12Okay.
00:52:15I am the real hero here.
00:52:16I mean,
00:52:18Zalaya's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.
00:52:20And Danny here is going to go get herself a little job at McDonald's.
00:52:24The fashion world is not going to miss you.
00:52:27I've given everything for this fashion house.
00:52:30And how do you repay me?
00:52:32By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:52:35Not everyone.
00:52:38Let's go, Danny.
00:52:39I cannot believe those idiots
00:52:48managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:52:52I believe it.
00:52:53We'll get our latest post.
00:52:55Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:52:58I'll be giving the designer a very special shout-out on stage
00:53:01after my exclusive performance.
00:53:03Like, that's my dress.
00:53:07That should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:53:10Bryn and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:53:12They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:53:15And they're everything that you're not.
00:53:20You deserve to be on that stage.
00:53:23And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:53:25I know what I have to do.
00:53:31I'm going to sneak into the Met Gala.
00:53:35Hell yes, you are.
00:53:37I'm sneaking into the Met Gala tomorrow.
00:53:39I have work to do.
00:53:40Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:42Let me handle that.
00:53:43Now, let's drink.
00:53:45Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:53:51Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:53:52Mm-hmm.
00:53:54But it will.
00:53:55You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:54:03Didn't they used to call you One Cup Club?
00:54:06Oh.
00:54:08You're tall, but you're quite in the light.
00:54:11I'm hurt, Danny.
00:54:13And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much,
00:54:18much better these days.
00:54:19Maybe you were lightweight.
00:54:35Speak for yourself.
00:54:40Let's get you to bed.
00:54:41I'm gonna have a good one.
00:54:42One, two, three, four, five, five.
00:54:43One, two, four, five, six, six, seven, eight.
00:54:44One, two, three, seven, eight.
00:54:44Seriously, I'm not going to be.
00:54:47Ah.
00:54:47Ah.
00:54:49Go.
00:54:50Oh.
00:54:50Oh, Lord.
00:54:51Oh, sorry.
00:54:52Oh, sorry.
00:54:52Oh, sorry.
00:54:54Oh, what?
00:54:54I suddenly feel very sober.
00:54:59Me too.
00:55:25What do you think?
00:55:26I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:55:29But what's it for?
00:55:31This.
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:34This is your party-crashing uniform.
00:55:37Marco's gonna meet you on the side entrance of the gala.
00:55:41I owe you both my life.
00:55:43I just wanna make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she deserves.
00:55:53I'll meet you there.
00:55:54Where are you going?
00:55:56I am breaking Anya Winter out of the hospital.
00:55:59When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house and sent a fraud to the biggest event in fashion history, it's gonna be over for her and Brynn.
00:56:10For everything.
00:56:15I'll meet you there.
00:56:16I'll meet you there.
00:56:24Good luck.
00:56:25We're here at fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala, where everyone who is anyone has gathered in New York City to celebrate the best of fashion.
00:56:47And...
00:56:49Oh my God.
00:56:50Solea!
00:56:51Darling, how are you?
00:56:52Oh my God!
00:56:53I am freaking out right now!
00:56:56I mean, this gown!
00:56:58Anyway, best dress of the night.
00:57:02Hands down.
00:57:03Now tell me, who made this incredible creation?
00:57:08I'm actually not revealing who made it yet, but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.
00:57:13Cryptic.
00:57:14I love it.
00:57:15Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.
00:57:18You know, that Brynn collection that you did was just like...
00:57:24Whoa!
00:57:25You know?
00:57:26Yeah, I'm kind of like...
00:57:31A genius.
00:57:38Brynn got me banned from the Met Gala, but I made it in.
00:57:41And soon she'll be exposed for the fraud she is.
00:57:44How did that slut get in here?
00:57:46She's going to ruin everything.
00:57:50Champagne Brynn?
00:57:52You cannot be here.
00:57:54You competed against me to dress Solea, the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala, and you lost.
00:58:01Okay, tonight is my special night and I cannot have you ruining it.
00:58:05I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.
00:58:07I'm the guest of honor.
00:58:09After all the blood, sweat, and tears I put into making that gown,
00:58:13she stole it from me and dragged my name through the mud.
00:58:16Ben, why are you so obsessed with taking credit for my work?
00:58:21I do not have to answer...
00:58:23Face it, Dani, I have won the respect of everyone who matters in the fashion industry.
00:58:28I'm going to be up there, next to Solea on that stage, basking in all your glory.
00:58:34And you?
00:58:36You will still be a no one.
00:58:38You come in here dressed up like a servant expecting me to do what?
00:58:43Fall out your feet and go,
00:58:45Oh, I'm so sorry Dani, you are so smart and so talented.
00:58:49Never gonna happen.
00:58:51I am rubbing elbows with the hottest, most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:58:57I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala, and you can't touch me now.
00:59:00And who exactly designed the gown your way?
00:59:08Certainly not you, if that's what you're implying.
00:59:13Do you know how much effort was put into making that spring collection?
00:59:17Do you know how hard those designers worked that you fired to save that show?
00:59:22You think Brynn is the one responsible for saving the day?
00:59:30Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?
00:59:33Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?
00:59:36And what have you done to prove yourself?
00:59:38Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?
00:59:40You know, the servant suit really fits you, Dani.
00:59:45I think you, uh, found your true calling.
00:59:47Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?
00:59:53You know, we dated for two years, and I never asked you for a thing.
00:59:58But the minute Vanessa offers you 15 minutes of fame, you drop me without a thought.
01:00:04What will you do once she's used you up and left you in the dust?
01:00:08You have no idea what you're talking about.
01:00:14Yeah.
01:00:15Jealousy is a disease, Dani.
01:00:19Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
01:00:25You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
01:00:29Are you really so desperate to steal my glory that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
01:00:34You must be psychotic.
01:00:37Really? And what's the word for stealing another designer's work and using it for clout?
01:00:45Claude, did you come here to fall at my feet and beg me for a job now that my fashion house officially has the Met Gala partnership and yours?
01:01:02Yours is dead in the water.
01:01:05I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now, don't you?
01:01:08Not as much as you're going to regret putting your daughter in charge.
01:01:12Excuse me?
01:01:15Look.
01:01:18I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:01:22Hmm.
01:01:24But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
01:01:29There's something you should see.
01:01:34Bitch!
01:01:36My star designer worked her fingers to the bone to make that dress for Saleya.
01:01:39Don't you dare try to take credit for her creative genius!
01:01:45Hmm, very soft.
01:01:47But if she worked her fingers to the bone, then wear the calces.
01:01:51Ugh!
01:01:52How dare you assault me.
01:01:54Leave.
01:01:55Now.
01:01:57Or what?
01:01:59So entitled.
01:02:00You know, you should be grateful to my mother for even allowing you to step foot into her historic tour house.
01:02:06I never said I wasn't.
01:02:08Your mother is one of the best designers in the world and she took a chance on me.
01:02:13I've always been grateful to her.
01:02:15Grateful?
01:02:17You've tarnished her name and reputation and now you're trying to sabotage the biggest night in the history of this fashion house.
01:02:23Just like you tried to sabotage the spring couture show!
01:02:30I'm the one that saved that collection.
01:02:33Enough!
01:02:36Ah!
01:02:41God!
01:02:42You are so embarrassing, Danny!
01:02:45You know, breaking up with you was the best decision that I ever made.
01:02:49You did need the favor, really.
01:02:51Thank you so much for saving me from a lifetime of disappointment.
01:02:56Disappointment?
01:02:58If we're talking disappointment, I think it's you because you're the one covered in champagne.
01:03:01Oh my god, is there security around here? This disturbed employee is trying to ruin my couture!
01:03:12And she put her filthy hands on me.
01:03:14So Leia is about to announce Brynn as the designer of her gown and you will not ruin this moment!
01:03:21Get your hands off of her.
01:03:22Vanessa, what the hell have you done with my fashion house?
01:03:34Nothing, Mom. I fired Danny just like you asked.
01:03:41You what?!
01:03:43I don't understand. Is it a mistake?
01:03:51A mistake?
01:03:53A mistake? I...
01:03:55Oh my god, Mom are you okay?
01:03:58I... I just need a minute.
01:04:01Okay.
01:04:04Anya, are you okay?
01:04:06Oh Danny, I'm fine.
01:04:09There's something I need to say.
01:04:13I can't let that old slut blow my cover.
01:04:16No, she shouldn't speak. She could have another heart attack.
01:04:20Security, get her out of here.
01:04:24I'm okay, I'm fine.
01:04:25Don't touch her, you're making it worse!
01:04:28Don't listen to anything this worthless server has to say. Take my mother somewhere quieter.
01:04:32I'm fine!
01:04:34I'll be right there.
01:04:36Danny!
01:04:38Hey, I said hands off. Unless you want to be cut it off at least.
01:04:43What the hell was that about?
01:04:48I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the reveal of the designer I've chosen to partner with.
01:04:56Bryn Maxwell, will you join me on stage?
01:05:00Oh my god, she had a wardrobe malfunction.
01:05:05Break the fuck from me. Come on.
01:05:07What the fuck happened? I told you not to fuck out.
01:05:10I don't know, I...
01:05:12I took a sip.
01:05:13What are you looking at me for?
01:05:15You're the designer of a dress.
01:05:17She wants to be a star designer, so that, let's see if she has the skills to throw it off.
01:05:22Someone needs to fix this!
01:05:25Now!
01:05:27Danny, Danny, if that dress flints anymore, this would be a major PR nightmare.
01:05:31I know you can do it.
01:05:33So, please, do you go ahead and fix the dress?
01:05:36Why would I be able to help? I mean, Bryn's the one that designed the dress.
01:05:41Did you fall and smack your little head on the sidewalk?
01:05:46No.
01:05:47Danny is a Nepo baby intern who knows nothing.
01:05:50And Bryn is the creative genius.
01:05:53Remember?
01:05:54Yes.
01:05:55Wait, I...
01:05:56Mm-hmm.
01:05:57I totally know what I'm doing.
01:05:58Mm-hmm.
01:05:59Danny is just a frumpy little service worker who wants to play dress up.
01:06:03Mm-hmm.
01:06:08Thanks, Danny.
01:06:09I knew you were useless.
01:06:11Thank God Bryn's here.
01:06:13I can do this.
01:06:15How hard can it be to fix a one-of-a-kind couture gown?
01:06:18I put my heart and soul into a dress Celaya would be proud to wear at the Metcala.
01:06:25And you built your couture house from the ground up and made so many sacrifices to hire me.
01:06:33I can't let Bryn ruin it all.
01:06:35I have to show Celaya what I can do.
01:06:38So go show them who you are.
01:06:41Prove to Celaya that you are the genius behind that dress.
01:06:43Bryn.
01:06:51The seams are delicate.
01:06:52The stitch has to be...
01:06:53Shut up!
01:06:54You're ruining her concentration.
01:06:56Um...
01:06:57Are you the girl who was like, banned from the Met Gala?
01:06:59Her life?
01:07:00Yeah, she is.
01:07:01She shouldn't even be here right now.
01:07:03I shouldn't be here?
01:07:04Look at the way Bryn's holding that needle.
01:07:07How much longer can you keep up...
01:07:08Just step aside and let me...
01:07:10Okay, somebody has to call Hannah Summer.
01:07:15The chair of the Gala will know how to handle this dirty little party crasher.
01:07:22What now?
01:07:23We have a security situation.
01:07:25Party crasher on the Gala floor.
01:07:27Someone named Danny Maxwell.
01:07:30Danny?
01:07:31Anya's star designer?
01:07:33I'm fine.
01:07:34I am not some delicate little flower.
01:07:36I had a heart attack, not a lobotomy.
01:07:42Hannah, darling.
01:07:47Anya, I just got word that Danny Maxwell has been banned from the Gala.
01:07:54Your daughter is trying to get her kicked out.
01:07:56What?
01:07:58I said I've got it.
01:08:01Fine.
01:08:02That's the way you want it to be.
01:08:09See?
01:08:10As a true genius behind this dress, I fixed it good as new.
01:08:15Shout out to my hella talented designer Bryn Maxwell of Anya Winter Couture for dressing me tonight.
01:08:23Thanks to her, I swerved a full-on wardrobe malfunction.
01:08:27All of my hard work ruined by Bryn's ego.
01:08:45What's that?
01:08:47You know it takes a profound lack of talents to destroy a gown so beautiful.
01:08:51Yeah, what kind of shoddy repair job was that?
01:08:57That girl is so not worthy of dressing Solea.
01:09:00Yes I am!
01:09:02I'm suing Anya Winters for all your brand is worth.
01:09:06This is all your fault.
01:09:08My fault?
01:09:10I was trying to help.
01:09:12I was trying to take your mom's little washed-up brand and make it relevant by dressing the hottest, most famous woman in the world.
01:09:17How dare you call my mother's brand washed-up. You're gonna pay for that.
01:09:22How?
01:09:23Are you gonna fire me like you fired Danny?
01:09:27When all those loser designers got let go, I replaced his staff with my own people.
01:09:32If I go, they go.
01:09:34How will Anya Winters keep its title as number one couture house without a design staff?
01:09:40You won't keep your spot as number one, as long as you have a fraud like Bryn as your creative director either.
01:09:48Dude, that girl is totally crashing out right now.
01:09:52I'm calling my lawyers.
01:09:54Bryn, this is all your fault!
01:09:57Okay, if you guys all want someone to blame for this, why did you blame Danny? Okay, I didn't even make that stupid dress! She did!
01:10:08I-I didn't-I-I didn't-I didn't mean-
01:10:12I think it's finally time to show them who you really are.
01:10:14Bryn's right. I designed the dress. And I'll prove it.
01:10:20I'll prove it.
01:10:29Saleya, will you meet me on stage?
01:10:32Don't!
01:10:33You shouldn't trust that ugly, lying bitch. I mean, look at her! She's gonna drag down your whole image.
01:10:40Image means nothing without substance. Without talent. A true fashion genius should know that.
01:10:47Damn. That's deep. I agree. I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:10:53You're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:10:56I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:10:59Nope.
01:11:05What the hell?
01:11:07Dany Maxwell! You were a genius!
01:11:08Danny Maxwell, you were a genius.
01:11:20I've never seen something so stunning.
01:11:23I need her to dress me like that.
01:11:25Wait, this means that I fumbled a super talented baddie?
01:11:30Oh, fuck!
01:11:32It's everything I've ever wanted.
01:11:35You saved this night.
01:11:38Holy cow.
01:11:41This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.
01:11:44You're a visionary.
01:11:46And this time, everyone knows it.
01:11:50So, Leia, who are you wearing?
01:11:53I'm wearing Danny Maxwell.
01:11:59For Cossé Jean Couture.
01:12:02It can't be.
01:12:04Danny's the superstar designer that I've learned.
01:12:06This is what I've been trying to tell you.
01:12:09Danny is a fashion icon.
01:12:13Ew.
01:12:14You were never the fashion prodigy of my mother's couture brand.
01:12:18You were the brain-dead network baby idiot she warned me about.
01:12:22What is that strung-out, deadbeat intern doing at the fucking Met Gala?
01:12:28I thought you fired her.
01:12:31I didn't fire her.
01:12:33I actually promoted her to creative director.
01:12:36You promoted this deadbeat and you fired my star designer?
01:12:40Yeah, I did.
01:12:45Do you know how hard I've worked?
01:12:47Do you know how much money I spent to get Danny Maxwell in my fashion house?
01:12:53She is the lifeblood of this brand.
01:12:57And what did you do?
01:12:59You fired her?
01:13:03So is that Maxwell along?
01:13:06Vanessa, you're fired.
01:13:09No, Mom, please, please.
01:13:10You can't.
01:13:11I need this.
01:13:12I'm embarrassed to even call you my daughter.
01:13:15When I turned this over to you,
01:13:16my fashion house dominated the entire world of couture.
01:13:20And now look at it.
01:13:21It's a laughingstock.
01:13:24And you.
01:13:25You did this.
01:13:27Mom, I'm really sorry.
01:13:30Shit, man, I fucked up.
01:13:32I don't know if I fucked up so bad.
01:13:36Hannah is the chair of the Met Gala.
01:13:40Is she personally banned Danny?
01:13:42You would not want to bash an outcast on your team, Al, would you?
01:13:45You have some nerve telling me what I did or didn't do?
01:13:52You duped us all into thinking you're a fashion icon
01:13:56when you're nothing more than a dirty scammer in a designer dress.
01:14:03Danny Maxwell is officially granted a lifetime invitation to the Met Gala.
01:14:09But you are banned forever.
01:14:13And you're fired, too.
01:14:16Security?
01:14:17No!
01:14:17Take her away.
01:14:18No, please!
01:14:19Hand her over to the cops.
01:14:20She needs to pay for her crimes against fashion.
01:14:24No!
01:14:24Please!
01:14:25Ah!
01:14:27Danny, please come back to work for me.
01:14:31You know how much I have done for you.
01:14:35My fashion house can't survive without you.
01:14:37I am begging you.
01:14:40Everything you gave me, I gave it all back when your daughter accused me of sabotaging a thing I put my heart and soul into creating.
01:14:48No, she's exaggerating.
01:14:50That's not what happened.
01:14:51It was Brynn.
01:14:52She was scheming to try to steal Danny's job the whole time.
01:14:55That bitch duped me and got me all confused.
01:14:58Seriously?
01:14:59Well, that confusion almost cost me my whole fashion career and everything I've worked for.
01:15:05Did it feel good making me take the fall for your stupid mistakes?
01:15:09Danny, I'm so sorry.
01:15:12I'm sorry, too.
01:15:15I'm not coming back to Anya Winter Couture.
01:15:18I'm staying where I know I'm appreciated.
01:15:21Where no one's ever questioned my talent, my vision, my style.
01:15:26So please, step aside.
01:15:33This is our moment.
01:15:37And we at Claude Saint-Jean Couture wishing nothing but the best, Anya.
01:15:42You ruined it.
01:15:50You have ruined everything I've built.
01:15:53I...
01:15:54Oh!
01:15:54Ah!
01:15:57Oh, I know.
01:15:58Wow.
01:15:58They're really going at you like a bunch of savages, aren't they?
01:16:01Ah, yes.
01:16:03Sorry, are you crying?
01:16:04Mm-hmm.
01:16:06God, you're hot.
01:16:08Have you ever wanted to be the face of a menswear line?
01:16:11Hell yeah.
01:16:12You better not show up at the office tomorrow.
01:16:17I never should have hired you.
01:16:22Oh, no.
01:16:24I need a job.
01:16:25Vanessa!
01:16:26Vanessa!
01:16:28I'm too hot to be on these streets.
01:16:35Call me.
01:16:37Danny.
01:16:38Why did I ever leave you?
01:16:39I'm sorry.
01:16:40We'd have to take some red carpet tricks together.
01:16:43I need all 900 million of my followers to know exactly who made my dress team.
01:16:47Give me five minutes.
01:16:49I knew you'd take back your crown.
01:17:06Thank you for believing in me.
01:17:09I was happy.
01:17:09I always have.
01:17:10And I always will.
01:17:24Congratulations.
01:17:26You made it to the top.
01:17:28And that's where I'll stay.
