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.
00:00:1730 couture gouts. Destroyed. We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:21No, 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?
00:01:55Oh no, it still doesn't work!
00:02:07Um, Miss 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 3 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.
00:03:50I'll grab some champagne to celebrate.
00:03:51I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:53This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:55Dior who?
00:03:57Anya Winters is number one on the tour game now.
00:04:09You all head back to the studio.
00:04:11I'll grab some champagne to celebrate.
00:04:15I can't believe Danny 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?
00:04:34We make groundbreaking pieces with our hands,
00:04:37not 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.
00:04:53And 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 in all of Paris Fashion Week?
00:05:04Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of incompetent yappers.
00:05:08If this is about the original collection...
00:05:10I didn't ask you to speak.
00:05:12You're fired.
00:05:14Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.
00:05:20Anya Winter 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,
00:05:35lightning fast designs,
00:05:37and perfect technicality.
00:05:39And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:42Who does she think she is?
00:05:44Miranda Priestly?
00:05:45Oh my god.
00:05:51What is this?
00:05:52Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:55No!
00:05:58That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!
00:06:05Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your steam.
00:06:08Jordan, 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.
00:06:18You're fired.
00:06:23Okay.
00:06:24Now please, can somebody show me something?
00:06:27A collection.
00:06:29Congratulations!
00:06:33Who are you?
00:06:34You.
00:06:35You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:39You're fired.
00:06:41Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:43Danny Maxwell.
00:06:45Jordan, 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 the night before the biggest couture show in the history of this house?
00:07:03That's not what we-
00:07:04I would say we could take out the damages from your salary.
00:07:09But you're probably not getting paid.
00:07:11Actually, she's our highest paid employee.
00:07:13She's making over $500,000 a year.
00:07:15Jordan!
00:07:16That's, that'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.
00:07:32But we saved the spring show.
00:07:34Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:07:37Celebrate?
00:07:38By destroying a studio?
00:07:43Lying?
00:07:44Talking back to your superiors?
00:07:46Drinking on the job?
00:07:48No wonder my mother had a heart attack.
00:07:50Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:55Unless, of course, you're just as useful 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.
00:08:04He 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.
00:08:15Danny'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.
00:08:28This isn't Danny's fault.
00:08:30She's the one who saved-
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32Do you want to go with her?
00:08:35If anyone else here helped Danny destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.
00:08:41It's okay, guys.
00:08:42Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:08:45You've all earned your spots.
00:08:47It was my fault.
00:08:48Then leave it.
00:08:49How could you?
00:08:50Leave back.
00:08:51Dispose of that piece of shit.
00:08:52Baby!
00:08:53I'm so sorry.
00:08:54We've been together for two years.
00:08:55You couldn't even defend me?
00:08:56She would have fired me on the spot.
00:08:57Look.
00:08:58We both know that I don't have a degree.
00:08:59And it's a miracle that you got me this job.
00:09:06And if I lose it, then who's going to pay for all the expensive champagne that we're going
00:09:13to have at our anniversary dinner tonight?
00:09:14Well, you better spring for caviar, too.
00:09:15You owe me big-time, Jordan.
00:09:37I promise.
00:09:39I'm gonna make it up to you.
00:09:42I promise, I'm gonna make it up to you.
00:09:45Let's meet tonight at eight, okay?
00:09:48Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:09:51I'll see you then.
00:09:58Your 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.
00:10:12Hmm, you'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, an unemployed fashion flop
00:10:24or a rich, powerful boss?
00:10:29Say it.
00:10:31Mommy.
00:10:32What else?
00:10:35What else?
00:10:36Does baby need a change?
00:10:39Baby needs a change.
00:10:40Yeah, he does.
00:10:41Stinky.
00:10:42Stinky son of a...
00:10:43Stinky son of a...
00:10:44Hi, Smother.
00:10:45Mm-hmm.
00:10:46It's pretty.
00:10:47Mm-hmm.
00:10:48Stupid people.
00:10:51They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:10:54Oh.
00:10:55I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:11:00I 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.
00:11:06I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.
00:11:09Thank God we have her on the team.
00:11:11I know how you can be.
00:11:12I know how you can be, Vanessa.
00:11:13You better treat her right.
00:11:17Maxwell?
00:11:18Oh, God.
00:11:19Is that the frumpy intern I just fired?
00:11:21Hello?
00:11:22I'm speaking to you.
00:11:23Yes, Mother.
00:11:24One second.
00:11:25Is there any other Maxwell on the design team?
00:11:26Oh, I'm going to stop this at some point.
00:11:27Oh, God.
00:11:29She single-handedly saved my last two shows.
00:11:30A creative genius.
00:11:31I mean, I snatched her up right out of college to make sure those other couture houses couldn't
00:11:32get their hands on her.
00:11:33Without her...
00:11:34Without her...
00:11:44...this, whole house will crumble.
00:11:45Don't worry, Mother.
00:11:46I'll treat her like a queen.
00:11:47You better.
00:11:49Without her, this whole house will crumble.
00:11:59Don't worry, Mother.
00:12:01I'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.
00:12:19Fire her?
00:12:21Thank God.
00:12:22Of course, that tasteless tornado I fired was just a pointless intern.
00:12:26Don'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, and I'll take care of everything.
00:12:43I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser.
00:12:47No.
00:12:48Where were we?
00:12:54What the hell do you want?
00:12:56The studio phone's been ringing off the hook.
00:12:58Well, 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.
00:13:07She wants to see sketches for five looks inspired by the new collection.
00:13:10In one hour.
00:13:13Well, 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.
00:13:29What happened?
00:13:37I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection.
00:13:41But, guess they've got bigger problems.
00:13:44Danny, the grumpy dumbass.
00:13:49She left her old sketch portfolio.
00:13:51Oh my gosh, these are iconic.
00:13:54No wonder Anya was obsessed with her.
00:13:56I 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.
00:14:17Be right there.
00:14:21Why would they ask me, a brand new intern, to dress the most famous woman in the world?
00:14:26Whatever.
00:14:27I'll use Danny's sketches and no one will know.
00:14:31Oh my gosh.
00:14:32I'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, so sick.
00:14:43I know.
00:14:44This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.
00:14:49And 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.
00:14:58Unless, of course, you want to go with Danny.
00:15:05Where is Jordan?
00:15:06He's 20 when it's late.
00:15:08I don't want her.
00:15:10I was going to break up with her tonight anyway.
00:15:14I want you.
00:15:16Duh.
00:15:17Hmm.
00:15:18Good choice.
00:15:21Guess I'll just drag him here myself.
00:15:25God, you're so powerful, so sexy.
00:15:36It's her anniversary and you're fucking the woman who fired me?
00:15:39She is a fashion superstar, okay?
00:15:45And you're just...
00:15:46An unemployed loser.
00:15:48You spineless dick.
00:15:51You psycho bitch!
00:15:52Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:15:53That's it, you cheating piece of...
00:15:55Danny, Danny, you are embarrassing yourself.
00:15:58I'm the embarrassment.
00:16:00Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.
00:16:03And now you're shoving your tongue down your new boss's throat?
00:16:05You were...
00:16:06Fuck!
00:16:07Know your place, you tacky, talentless slump.
00:16:12Face it, Danny.
00:16:13You're a fool.
00:16:15And you can't get mad at me for...
00:16:17upgrading.
00:16:18I love to, Jordan.
00:16:24And the only reason you're here is because of...
00:16:26Because I told Anya to make you PR manager.
00:16:29Are you kidding me?
00:16:31More ridiculous lies.
00:16:33You?
00:16:34You're a deadbeat intern.
00:16:35As if my mother would have anything to do with you.
00:16:38We are over, David.
00:16:48I'm calling security.
00:16:50Why don't you call your mother instead?
00:16:51The 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?
00:17:03Hi, security.
00:17:04Yes, there's a delusional ex-employee who's refusing to leave my studio.
00:17:12Oh, Danny.
00:17:13Don't be sad.
00:17:14Look, I get it.
00:17:15I'm powerful.
00:17:17Smart.
00:17:19Experienced.
00:17:21And you?
00:17:23Well, you're jobless, talentless, and irrelevant.
00:17:27Look, if I were you, I would go on home and drown your sorrows in a bottle of cheap champagne.
00:17:33Unless, of course, you'd rather spend her last night in 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?
00:17:46Guards!
00:17:47She's over here.
00:17:51Who the hell are you?
00:17:52I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture Collection.
00:17:56Brynn Maxwell.
00:17:58Oh, wow.
00:18:00Oh, well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.
00:18:04Oh, is that an archival saline bag?
00:18:08Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.
00:18:11It'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, I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.
00:18:24Vanessa, I know who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring Collection.
00:18:32She'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?
00:18:38Danny's done it again.
00:18:48You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?
00:18:51Danny Maxwell?
00:18:52She was just fired from Anya Winter's fashion house.
00:18:55The show's a hit.
00:18:56How is that possible?
00:18:56Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.
00:18:59Of course.
00:19:00I would love to see the look on Anya Winter's face when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of a daughter fired her star designer.
00:19:09Call Danny up. Let's get her here.
00:19:10But Anya Winter's 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.
00:19:21Rumor has it that Leia's looking for a new designer for her Met Gala look.
00:19:25And if we can dress the most famous woman on the planet on the biggest night in fashion, we'll be the new brand on top.
00:19:34Get the jet ready. I'm going to Paris.
00:19:37And I'm not leaving without Danny Maxwell.
00:19:42Sabotage? Are 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.
00:19:52And 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?
00:20:05You think I caused that disaster?
00:20:08You think she is your savior?
00:20:11Well then best of luck when Anya comes back and sees what a mess you've made.
00:20:14This is your mess, Danny Maxwell.
00:20:17I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate BS.
00:20:20Please, don'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.
00:20:32You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Danny.
00:20:35You 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.
00:20:47Vandalism, 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?
00:20:57Then 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.
00:21:20Do 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.
00:21:33Other 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?
00:22:13Jail cell, police, whatever.
00:22:16Get your hands off of her.
00:22:19That is my new creative director.
00:22:24Danny Maxwell will join Claude St. John's fashion house.
00:22:29Claude St. John of St. John Couture?
00:22:31You came all the way from New York for me?
00:22:33Of 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?
00:22:54God, 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.
00:23:07You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.
00:23:10Claude, I...
00:23:11That is Mr. St. John to you.
00:23:13And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.
00:23:16Yeah, 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...
00:23:25Sorry, who the hell are you?
00:23:27Obviously, I...
00:23:27I'm right.
00:23:28I 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.
00:24:04Brain 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.
00:24:16She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.
00:24:18Okay, we all know Anya, okay?
00:24:20And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything.
00:24:23Especially to work with a deadweight intern.
00:24:26Then why are you still here?
00:24:28What, you little...
00:24:29Oh, don't even try it.
00:24:31Danny.
00:24:33Will you come with me and be my new creative director of St. John Couture?
00:24:36God, I don't know.
00:24:37Hey, whatever you are making, I will double it.
00:24:39Okay, her salary is $500K.
00:24:42She's literally robbing us blind.
00:24:45A millionaire, is there?
00:24:49Please, a million dollar salary?
00:24:51Your 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.
00:25:00A million dollars for a talentless intern.
00:25:04Way to dig your own grave.
00:25:06I thought I told you to shut up.
00:25:09Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
00:25:12Seriously, but it's not about the money.
00:25:15Danny, if you join my fashion house, the title of creative director will be yours.
00:25:21Creative control over the next season's Couture Collection will be yours.
00:25:24My designers, my studio, my full trust.
00:25:29And hell, if you want me, I'm even yours too.
00:25:31Oh, Claude.
00:25:35Okay, look, I get it.
00:25:37You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand, and I respect you for that.
00:25:42So let me remind you that Danny is a lazy scam artist.
00:25:46Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.
00:25:50In that case...
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:58What is all this shit?
00:25:59This shit is everything that your mother gives to me.
00:26:02Her one and only key to her personal studio, the business black card in my name,
00:26:06which I could have used to repair the damages, but...
00:26:09I guess that's not my concern anymore.
00:26:12You can tell Anya that I, Danny Maxwell, am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house
00:26:18and never, ever come back.
00:26:22Aw.
00:26:23So sad for us.
00:26:25Not.
00:26:26You did not deserve any special treatment, Danny.
00:26:29I mean, just look at you.
00:26:31You're a complete fashion flop.
00:26:33You know, you are all so wrapped up in beauty standards and bullshit
00:26:36that you can't even see the design talent that is right in front of you.
00:26:39Danny, it is true.
00:26:43We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter for the number one title spot.
00:26:46Then I'm going to change that.
00:26:48I'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.
00:27:00You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Danny.
00:27:03Losing your spot at the number one fashion house
00:27:06to go and work for this desperate up-and-comer.
00:27:10Although, who else would hire you?
00:27:13Embarrassed for her.
00:27:15You know Vanessa's going to burn this place to the ground
00:27:17and you are going to be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.
00:27:21And something tells me you're not qualified for that, are you?
00:27:25Qualified?
00:27:25And what exactly are you qualified for?
00:27:28Propositioning idiotic interns to go out and peddle up your hideous designs
00:27:33to some micro-influencers?
00:27:36What?
00:27:36I did.
00:27:43She did.
00:27:47She will.
00:27:48Who is that?
00:27:50That.
00:27:51The Soleil's team.
00:27:52They've asked for five sketches from Danny for her Met Gala look.
00:27:55What was that about micro-influencers?
00:27:59If I'm not mistaken, she has more followers than anyone in the world?
00:28:04Absolutely not.
00:28:05Brynn is supposed to design Soleil's gown.
00:28:08Brynn?
00:28:10Guess we got ourselves some competition.
00:28:13This isn't a competition.
00:28:14It's an all-out fashion war.
00:28:16Well, 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.
00:28:24May the best designer win.
00:28:26Don't worry about her, Vanessa.
00:28:30Just send these to Soleil's teams, and there's no way she won't pick us.
00:28:36I'll be Danny with her own designs.
00:28:39Oh, my God.
00:28:40Brynn, these are incredible.
00:28:43Between these and the Spring Couture Collection,
00:28:46you've really proven yourself.
00:28:47I'm officially naming you as creative director of Ani 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.
00:29:05Right.
00:29:07One step at a time.
00:29:09Stick with me, and you'll be very satisfied.
00:29:11Every designer will be gunning for our spot
00:29:16as top couture collection in the world.
00:29:19That's why we need to dress Soleil at the Met Gala.
00:29:22And no one can touch us.
00:29:24Not even Claude and that hack Danny.
00:29:27I won't let you down, Vanessa.
00:29:29Now, walk me through how you designed
00:29:32the couture collection in four hours.
00:29:34How did I do it?
00:29:38Oh, God.
00:29:39I can't design for crap.
00:29:40I 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
00:29:49that I learned in my final year of fashion school.
00:29:53The details are really boring.
00:29:54I could show you later.
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57You have your own technique.
00:29:58You are the creative genius.
00:30:00I mean, these are already Met Gala-worthy.
00:30:02If you can bring them to life half as well
00:30:04as you did the Spring Collection,
00:30:06you have nothing to worry about.
00:30:07Nothing at all.
00:30:08I am now the creative director
00:30:11of the number one fashion house in the world.
00:30:15Step aside, Danny.
00:30:16I'm the new couture queen.
00:30:18What do you want?
00:30:23Anya, it's Claude Zanjean.
00:30:26Listen, I'm just calling to let you know
00:30:27that we are officially in the running
00:30:29to dress Soleil at her Met Gala.
00:30:30What?
00:30:32We are the number one couture house in the world right now.
00:30:37Why would she want you to dress her
00:30:38as if some young, arrogant, dumbass could...
00:30:41Listen, I'm not calling to discuss this.
00:30:43I'm just simply letting you know.
00:30:48Cheers.
00:30:48What the hell is that rat up to?
00:30:54He knows I have a design prodigy at my right hand.
00:30:58Why would he think anybody could beat a superstar like Danny?
00:31:03Unless...
00:31:05Mother, you'll never believe the sketches I got from.
00:31:13Tell me you didn't fire my most talented designer!
00:31:19Calm down, Mother, or else you'll have another heart attack.
00:31:22Like I told you already,
00:31:24I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.
00:31:27Why the hell is Claude St. John competing with us
00:31:31for the Met Gala partnership?
00:31:33Well, I just figured it was pointless to talk him out of it
00:31:36when he's obviously going to crash and burn
00:31:38along with that talentless intern.
00:31:40They'll design something cheap and tacky for Soleil.
00:31:43And then she'll tell everybody she knows
00:31:46not to touch St. John couture with a 10-foot pole.
00:31:49And then their sad little fashion careers.
00:31:53They'll be over it before they even started.
00:31:55So you gaslit Claude into hiring our cast-off?
00:32:01Sure did.
00:32:02He's convinced that the talentless Nepo Baby
00:32:04is the creative genius behind our spring line.
00:32:07That's brilliant.
00:32:10And I thought you're a weak little pushover
00:32:12like your father, but...
00:32:14Maybe you're more like me than I knew.
00:32:17Vanessa?
00:32:17Vanessa, I want you to take full control
00:32:20over 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
00:32:35the laughingstock of the fashion industry.
00:32:41Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.
00:32:44Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.
00:32:46Are you sure she can handle this?
00:32:48Did I ask your opinion?
00:32:50My daughter can't fuck this up.
00:32:53Not with Danny Maxwell designing the gown for Soleil.
00:32:57Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude St. John
00:33:02to hire our strung-out sad sack of an intern?
00:33:05I get to sit back and watch Danny work her magic for Soleil's gown
00:33:12while that hack of a talent completely tanks what's left of Claude's fashion house.
00:33:19So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?
00:33:34It's insane what you've accomplished.
00:33:36I mean, four years ago you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino,
00:33:39and I'll look at you.
00:33:41Your own couture line?
00:33:44It's everything you ever wanted.
00:33:46Not everything.
00:33:49Well, what about you, Danny?
00:33:50I mean, when I met you, you were a quiet little intern,
00:33:53and now you're a fashion genius?
00:33:56I'm serious.
00:33:57I mean, that work you did on that spring collection,
00:33:59it was inspiring.
00:34:01Yes.
00:34:11Of course.
00:34:13We'll be there.
00:34:16Soleil loved your Mechala sketches, huh?
00:34:19She told her favorite from you and Brayden
00:34:20she wants you both to show her a sample.
00:34:23Oh my god, when?
00:34:26Tomorrow afternoon?
00:34:27You have 24 hours to make this dress for Soleil.
00:34:30You better get started.
00:34:32I mean, we just got back from New York, and I...
00:34:34You created an entire couture collection in what?
00:34:38Four hours?
00:34:39This should be a breeze, right?
00:34:40Right.
00:34:41I can totally pull this off.
00:34:44Then do it.
00:34:45Now!
00:34:49You think you can pull off creating a Mechala gown
00:34:51for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?
00:34:53Who 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.
00:35:04That fraud friend's been stealing my designs.
00:35:10Of course.
00:35:12She has no real talent of her own.
00:35:13Damn.
00:35:14That dress is insane.
00:35:20A skirt made of stained glass?
00:35:24Insane is right.
00:35:25It's going to be nearly impossible to sell a bodice
00:35:27that can support the weight of the skirt.
00:35:29If Soleil puts on this gown,
00:35:31it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:35:34Prina wants to be a fashion icon so bad.
00:35:37How will she pull us off?
00:35:39Then it's an easy win, right?
00:35:41We just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.
00:35:43Not exactly.
00:35:44I'm going to make the same exact dress,
00:35:48only better.
00:35:49Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.
00:35:52But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.
00:35:57I said nearly impossible.
00:35:59I said it was impossible to pull off my designs.
00:36:03Prina can try to rip off my designs all she wants.
00:36:07But 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,
00:36:13that gown is going to fall apart faster
00:36:15than you can say a fashion victim.
00:36:17Let's remember this day,
00:36:22the last day that Claude Sejourn Couture
00:36:25will be at the bottom of the fashion food chase.
00:36:29By this time tomorrow,
00:36:31we'll be the new rulers of the Couture kingdom.
00:36:37What the hell is this?
00:36:39Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress
00:36:41to the bottom of the dress?
00:36:43Oh, God.
00:36:44Brynn, the skirt is too heavy.
00:36:46No excuses!
00:36:47We have four hours to make a dress for Salaya.
00:36:57Gosh, I wish I was getting trash at a club right now.
00:36:59Brynn!
00:37:01How's everything going?
00:37:02Great!
00:37:03I just dropped my scissors.
00:37:05We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:37:08Phone call.
00:37:10I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:37:12Now!
00:37:13Don't worry, Mother.
00:37:14I have everything under control.
00:37:15That clown, Claude, and that fraud designer
00:37:18are going down.
00:37:22You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:37:23Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:37:28Keep it up.
00:37:30There might be another promotion in your future.
00:37:32If I can pull this off,
00:37:38I'll go down in fashion history.
00:37:41Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:37:43Let's get you to bed.
00:38:07Good morning, superstar.
00:38:37This is it, the gown that can make or break me.
00:38:50You should be proud, Danny.
00:38:53It's exceptional, just like you.
00:38:57Thanks, I...
00:39:01I could have done it without you.
00:39:07Oh God, I need to change what I'm wearing to meet the most famous woman in the world.
00:39:13Don't worry about it.
00:39:15I had my editor friend Marco pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.
00:39:20Pick anything you like.
00:39:28See you at the meeting.
00:39:37Gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:39:41What am I going to do?
00:39:43Brynn!
00:39:48That better be the best dress you've ever made.
00:39:52Let's go.
00:39:57Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:39:59We're going to get that Met Gala partnership.
00:40:02In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:40:03Where's your top secret weapon?
00:40:05She'll be here soon.
00:40:06She'll make a big impression on Saleya.
00:40:09Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:40:13I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:40:18Her talent speaks for itself.
00:40:20Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.
00:40:26I just have to find a way to switch mine and Danny's garment bags when no one's looking.
00:40:30It's not like Saleya would even trust that unstylish little piece of-
00:40:34Danny.
00:40:35You look stunning.
00:40:37Thanks.
00:40:38Speechless.
00:40:39Is that a first?
00:40:40Are those that-
00:40:41One of a kind Anya winter fall couture books?
00:40:43Yes.
00:40:44I am.
00:40:45Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:40:46She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:40:47They were a gift for designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:40:48What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:40:50Look, I always knew you were a lazy, dead beep intern, but taking credit is not a
00:40:52designer's work?
00:40:53That's a whole new look.
00:40:54Taking credit for another designer's work.
00:40:55One-of-a-kind Anya Winter Fall Couture books?
00:40:58Yes, I am.
00:41:01Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:41:03She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:41:04They were a gift for designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:41:08What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:41:11Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern,
00:41:14but taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:17That's a whole new low.
00:41:19Taking credit for another designer's work?
00:41:22Friend, I knew a thing or two about that.
00:41:24Watch, he gives...
00:41:25Careful now.
00:41:28Do you think you're some design protege, Danny?
00:41:31This, give me that.
00:41:33This 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.
00:41:45Soleil, I will see you now.
00:41:47Designers only.
00:41:48For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.
00:41:53Hey.
00:41:54You've got this.
00:41:57There's no way she's not going to pick you.
00:42:03Everything is riding on this Met Gala partnership.
00:42:06Don't fuck it up.
00:42:08I won't let you down.
00:42:11Soleil is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.
00:42:15You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.
00:42:17Just don't touch anything.
00:42:22The dress you made?
00:42:24Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design?
00:42:27Or is it stolen?
00:42:29I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:31You mean you didn't steal my portfolio and pass off my sketches as yours so you could dress the most famous woman in the world for the Met Gala?
00:42:41Tell me Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle?
00:42:47That dress you designed is beautiful but very, very complicated.
00:42:55How did you manage to pull that off?
00:42:56We'll just see.
00:42:59Won't we?
00:43:00Yes, we will.
00:43:10Oh, my gown is hideous.
00:43:12If I don't do something fast, everyone's going to find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:43:31I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame and I'm not letting Danny, that disaster, take it from me.
00:43:42Bye-bye, Danny.
00:43:50So, Leia's arriving now.
00:43:52No photos, no sucking up, and no touching.
00:43:55Unless she touches you.
00:43:56Got it?
00:43:57Got it.
00:44:06So, Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:44:09It's so nice to meet you.
00:44:10Where's the other one?
00:44:12She must be running a little bit late.
00:44:14I hate people who waste my time.
00:44:16I think she saw my gown and she felt inadequate.
00:44:20Let's see it then.
00:44:20Bryn knocked me out and stole my dress.
00:44:29I knew she was a snake, but I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:44:46Look, the sample preview is starting now, and I have nothing to show.
00:44:59Or maybe I did.
00:45:01I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:45:11Sorry, fam.
00:45:12It's my Pisces moon.
00:45:13This is, like, the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:45:18I feel connected to it on, like, a cosmic level.
00:45:21I must wear this dress.
00:45:21I knew you would love it.
00:45:24But what about the other designer?
00:45:26She might.
00:45:27She's late.
00:45:28I'll give her three seconds.
00:45:29If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:45:32Three, two...
00:45:34Wait!
00:45:37I'm so sorry.
00:45:38I'm late, Soleil.
00:45:38I had a little bump in the rug.
00:45:43I suppose I can forgive you.
00:45:45Mercury is in retrograde.
00:45:48Nice gown, Bryn.
00:45:49I wish I could say the same, Dani, but...
00:45:53You are stinks.
00:45:55Jane.
00:45:56I wonder why that is.
00:45:58This dress is so trippy.
00:46:01My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.
00:46:06Okay, but you're not, like, crying.
00:46:07I mean, like, mine is still better.
00:46:10Right?
00:46:12I wouldn't say that.
00:46:14What?
00:46:16Isn't that crazy?
00:46:18That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and Soleil still likes my design better?
00:46:25How much longer can you keep up this shrink?
00:46:27I must know.
00:46:29What was your inspiration?
00:46:31I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and you get the trash and make a treasure.
00:46:42Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.
00:46:45Or like a rat from a dumpster.
00:46:48I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.
00:46:52Dani, I feel like you really get me.
00:46:55You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:46:57Okay, well, what about my vision?
00:47:00What about my art?
00:47:02Brynn's right.
00:47:04She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:47:08Brynn, tell us how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:47:15How did I do it?
00:47:23Um, you're not gatekeeping your creative process from Soleil, are you?
00:47:31If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala, doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:47:38It's true, Soleil doesn't like gatekeepers.
00:47:43It's a simple question, Brynn.
00:47:45If you can't answer it, then like, did you really even make the dress?
00:47:48I think the real question here is why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:47:56Clearly she's trying to steal my technique because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:48:00Okay, this taped-together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:48:04It's an elementary school art project.
00:48:07Soleil, you cannot wear Dani's dress.
00:48:09I mean, look at it.
00:48:10It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:48:13Besides, it's made out of New York Street trash.
00:48:17She's right.
00:48:19It does kind of have, like, a fishy smell to it.
00:48:23Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:48:27Well, obviously this is just a sample.
00:48:29The real dress would not-
00:48:30Okay, but my sample is pristine.
00:48:33I mean, Soleil, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway, but Dani's?
00:48:39Dani's is probably made out of disease, rat feces, and meat juice.
00:48:45Oh, God.
00:48:48You know I'm a diehard vegan.
00:48:51I've made my decision.
00:48:53The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...
00:48:58Brin's.
00:48:58I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala.
00:49:04It's too big of a risk, even for me.
00:49:07Oh, I'm sorry, Dani.
00:49:09But it's easier to go back to trash when you are trash.
00:49:14But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:49:19Brin, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:49:22Like, like, right now?
00:49:24You made this dress in 24 hours. Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:49:29Once Soleil sees Brin for the fraud she is, she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:49:35Yeah.
00:49:36Brin, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?
00:49:40Now.
00:49:41I really work better alone.
00:49:50Not today you don't.
00:49:51Do you want me to wear your dress to the Met Gala or not?
00:49:54This is it.
00:49:55This is it.
00:49:58The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.
00:50:01The moment my talents were finally re-recognized.
00:50:06Saleya, Hannah Summer, the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine, is here to see you.
00:50:11Oh my god, and she's the chair of the Met Gala board.
00:50:14She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:50:16Maybe they're going to do a feature.
00:50:17Oh my god, she's coming up here right now.
00:50:24Wait, you're not Hannah.
00:50:27Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.
00:50:30I'm her personal assistant, here to deliver a message.
00:50:33On Anya Winter's suggestion and by the Fashion Council's orders, Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry and banned from the Met Gala for life.
00:50:48Banned?
00:50:49What the hell for?
00:50:50Insubordination.
00:50:52Sabotage amounting to millions of dollars in potential losses.
00:50:56A general lack of personal style.
00:51:00Those aren't just faceless lies.
00:51:03I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.
00:51:06How dare you come into Saleya's personal studio, waste her precious time knowing you are hated by literally everyone in the fashion industry.
00:51:15Are you trying to tank her career?
00:51:16This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:51:21This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:51:24Get her out of here.
00:51:25Now.
00:51:30Congratulations.
00:51:32I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:51:34And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:51:40Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:51:43Hey, get your hands off of me right now.
00:51:46Are you okay?
00:51:49Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:51:51Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life, too.
00:51:54Banned?
00:51:55By who?
00:51:56Hannah Summer herself.
00:51:59The editor-in-chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny.
00:52:05This is the best day of my life.
00:52:07Mine, too.
00:52:08Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:52:11Okay.
00:52:12I am the real hero here.
00:52:16I mean, Zalaya's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.
00:52:19And Danny here is going to go get herself a little job at McDonald's.
00:52:22The fashion world is not going to miss you.
00:52:25I've given everything for this fashion house.
00:52:29And how do you repay me?
00:52:31By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:52:34Not everyone.
00:52:35Everyone.
00:52:35Let's go, Danny.
00:52:45I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:52:51Who believe it?
00:52:52Look at our latest post.
00:52:54Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:52:57I'll be giving the designer a very special shout-out on stage after my exclusive performance.
00:53:05That's my dress.
00:53:06That should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:53:09Bryn and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:53:11They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:53:14They're everything that you're not.
00:53:18You deserve to be on that stage.
00:53:21And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:53:23I know what I have to do.
00:53:30I'm going to sneak into the Met Gala.
00:53:33Hell yes, you are.
00:53:36I'm sneaking into the Met Gala tomorrow.
00:53:38I have work to do.
00:53:39Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:40Let me handle that.
00:53:42Now, let's drink.
00:53:44Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:53:49Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:53:53But it will.
00:53:53You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:54:02Didn't they used to call you...
00:54:04One Cup Club?
00:54:05Oh.
00:54:07You're tall, but you're quite the length.
00:54:10I'm hurt, Danny.
00:54:12And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.
00:54:18Maybe you're lightweight.
00:54:33Speak for yourself.
00:54:39Let's get you to bed.
00:54:40I used to watch the same thing, seriously, I'm not kidding.
00:54:49Wow.
00:54:50Oh, Lord.
00:54:52I suddenly feel very sober.
00:54:58Me too.
00:55:10What do you think?
00:55:25I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:55:28But what's it for?
00:55:30This.
00:55:32Yeah.
00:55:33This is your party crashing uniform.
00:55:36Marco's gonna meet you on the side entrance of the gala.
00:55:40I owe you both my life.
00:55:42I just want to make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she deserves.
00:55:52I'll meet you there.
00:55:53Where are you going?
00:55:55I am breaking Anya Winter out of the hospital.
00:55:58When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house
00:56:02and sent a fraud to the biggest event in fashion history,
00:56:05it's gonna be over for her and Bryn.
00:56:10For everything.
00:56:15I'll meet you there.
00:56:23Good luck.
00:56:24We're here at fashion's biggest night.
00:56:37The Met Gala.
00:56:38Where everyone who is anyone has gathered in New York City to celebrate the best of fashion.
00:56:46And...
00:56:47Oh my God.
00:56:48Solea!
00:56:49Darling, how are you?
00:56:51Oh my God.
00:56:52I am freaking out right now.
00:56:54I mean, this gown!
00:56:56Anyway, best dress of the night.
00:57:01Hands down.
00:57:03Now tell me, who made this incredible creation?
00:57:06I'm actually not revealing who made it yet, but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.
00:57:12Cryptic.
00:57:13I love it.
00:57:14Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.
00:57:18You know, that spring collection that you did was just like...
00:57:23Whoa.
00:57:24You know?
00:57:25Yeah.
00:57:26I'm kind of like...
00:57:30A genius.
00:57:31Brynn got me banned from the Met Gala.
00:57:38But I made it in.
00:57:40And soon she'll be exposed for the fraud she is.
00:57:43How did that slut get in here?
00:57:45She's going to ruin everything!
00:57:47Champagne Brynn?
00:57:50You cannot be here.
00:57:53You competed against me to dress Solea, the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala, and you lost.
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:00Tonight is my special night and I cannot have you ruining it.
00:58:03I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.
00:58:06I'm the guest of honor!
00:58:08After all the blood, sweat, and tears I put into making that gown, she stole it from me and dragged my name through the mud.
00:58:15Brynn, why are you so obsessed with taking credit for my work?
00:58:19I do not have to answer-
00:58:21Face it, Dani.
00:58:23I have one respect of everyone who matters in the fashion industry.
00:58:27I'm going to be up there, next to Solea on that stage, basking in all your glory.
00:58:33And you?
00:58:34You will still be a no one.
00:58:38You come in here dressed up like a servant expecting me to do what?
00:58:42Fall out your feet and go,
00:58:43Oh, I'm so sorry, Dani. You are so smart and so talented.
00:58:47Never gonna happen.
00:58:49I am rubbing elbows with the hottest, most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:58:55I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala.
00:58:57And you can't touch me now.
00:58:59And who exactly designed the gown your way?
00:59:05Certainly not you if that's what you're implying.
00:59:09Do you know how much effort was put into making that spring collection?
00:59:15Do you know how hard those designers worked that you fired to save that show?
00:59:20You think Brynn is the one responsible for saving the day?
00:59:28Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?
00:59:31Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?
00:59:34And what have you done to prove yourself?
00:59:36Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?
00:59:38You know the servant suit really fits you, Dani.
00:59:43I think you, uh, found your true calling.
00:59:46Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?
00:59:51You know, we dated for two years and I never asked you for a thing.
00:59:56But the minute Vanessa offers you fifteen minutes of fame, you drop me without a thought.
01:00:01What will you do once she's used you up and left you in the dust?
01:00:07You have no idea what you're talking about.
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:14Jealousy is a disease, Dani.
01:00:17Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
01:00:23You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
01:00:27Are you really so desperate to steal my glory that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
01:00:33You must be psychotic.
01:00:35Really?
01:00:36And what's the word for stealing another designer's work and using it for clout?
01:00:47Claude.
01:00:50Did you come here to fall at my feet and beg me for a job now that my fashion house
01:00:56officially has the Met Gala partnership and yours?
01:01:01Yours is dead in the water.
01:01:04I'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.
01:01:11Excuse me?
01:01:14Look.
01:01:15I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:01:21Hmm.
01:01:23But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
01:01:27There's something you should see.
01:01:33Bitch!
01:01:34My star designer worked her fingers to the bone to make that dress for Saleya.
01:01:38Don't you dare try to take credit for her creative genius.
01:01:44Hmm.
01:01:45Very soft.
01:01:46But if she worked her fingers to the bone, then where the count says.
01:01:50Ugh!
01:01:51How dare you assault me.
01:01:53Leave.
01:01:54Now.
01:01:56Or what?
01:01:57So entitled.
01:01:59You know, you should be grateful to my mother for even allowing you to step foot into her historic tour house.
01:02:04I never said I wasn't.
01:02:07Your mother is one of the best designers in the world and she took a chance on me.
01:02:12I've always been grateful to her.
01:02:14Grateful?
01:02:16You've tarnished her name and reputation and now you're trying to sabotage the biggest night in the history of this fashion house.
01:02:22Just like you tried to sabotage the Spring Couture show!
01:02:29I'm the one that saved that collection.
01:02:32Enough!
01:02:35Stop!
01:02:40God!
01:02:41You are so embarrassing, Danny!
01:02:44You know, breaking up with you was the best decision that I ever made.
01:02:48You didn't need the favor, really.
01:02:50Thank you so much for saving me from a lifetime of disappointment.
01:02:55Disappointment!
01:02:57If we're talking disappointment, I think it's you, because you're the one covered in champagne.
01:03:00Oh my god, is there security around here? This disturbed employee is trying to ruin my couture!
01:03:11And she put her filthy hands on me.
01:03:13Solea is about to announce Brynn as the designer of her gown and you will not ruin this moment!
01:03:20Get your hands off of her.
01:03:26Vanessa, what the hell have you done with my fashion house?
01:03:33Nothing, Mom. I fired Danny just like you asked.
01:03:40You what?!
01:03:44I don't understand. It's a mistake!
01:03:45A mistake?!
01:03:46A mistake?!
01:03:47A mistake?!
01:03:48A mistake?!
01:03:49A mistake?!
01:03:50I...
01:03:52Oh!
01:03:53Oh my god, Mom, are you okay?
01:03:54I...
01:03:55I...
01:03:56I...
01:03:57I...
01:03:58I just need a minute.
01:03:59Okay.
01:04:01Anya, are you okay?
01:04:02Oh, Danny!
01:04:03I'm fine!
01:04:04I...
01:04:05There's something...
01:04:06I...
01:04:07Need to say!
01:04:08I can't let that old slut blow my cover!
01:04:09No!
01:04:10She shouldn't speak!
01:04:11She could have another heart attack!
01:04:13Security!
01:04:14Get her out of here!
01:04:16I'm okay.
01:04:17I'm fine.
01:04:18I'm fine.
01:04:19I'm fine.
01:04:20I'm fine.
01:04:21I'm fine.
01:04:22I'm fine.
01:04:23I'm fine.
01:04:24Don't touch her!
01:04:25You're making it worse!
01:04:26Don't listen to anything this worthless server has to say.
01:04:29Take my mother someone quieter.
01:04:32I'm fine!
01:04:33I'll be right there.
01:04:35Danny!
01:04:36Hey, I said hands off.
01:04:38Unless you want to be cut it off, please.
01:04:42What the hell was that about?
01:04:47I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the reveal of the designer I've chosen to partner with.
01:04:52I'm fine.
01:04:55Brynn Maxwell?
01:04:56Will you join me on stage?
01:04:59Oh my god.
01:05:00She had a wardrobe malfunction.
01:05:04Break the fuck for me.
01:05:05Come on.
01:05:06What the fuck happened?
01:05:07I told you not to fuck it up.
01:05:08I don't know.
01:05:09I...
01:05:10I don't know.
01:05:11I...
01:05:12What are you looking at me for?
01:05:13You're the designer of my dress.
01:05:16She wants to be a star designer, so that...
01:05:18Let's see if she has the skills to throw it off.
01:05:22Someone needs to fix this!
01:05:23Now!
01:05:25Danny, Danny.
01:05:26If that dress splits anymore, this will be a major PR nightmare.
01:05:30I know you can do it.
01:05:32So, please, go ahead and fix the dress.
01:05:35Why would I be able to help?
01:05:37I mean, Brynn's the one that designed the dress.
01:05:41Did you fall and smack your little head on the sidewalk?
01:05:44No.
01:05:45Danny is a Nepo baby intern who knows nothing.
01:05:48And Brynn is the creative genius.
01:05:51Remember?
01:05:52Yes.
01:05:53Right?
01:05:54Right.
01:05:55I...
01:05:56I totally know what I'm doing.
01:05:58Danny is just a frumpy little service worker who wants to play dress up.
01:06:02Mm-hmm.
01:06:07Thanks, Danny.
01:06:08I knew you were useless.
01:06:09Thank God brings here.
01:06:12I can do this.
01:06:13How hard can it be to fix a one-of-a-kind couture gown?
01:06:20I put my heart and soul into a dress, so I will be proud to wear it to Vecala.
01:06:24And...
01:06:25You built your couture house from the ground up and made so many sacrifices to hire me.
01:06:29I can't let Brynn ruin it all.
01:06:34I have to show Solea what I can do.
01:06:37So go show them who you are.
01:06:40Prove to Solea that you are the genius behind that dress.
01:06:49Brynn...
01:06:50The seams are delicate.
01:06:51The stitch has to be...
01:06:52Shut up!
01:06:53You're ruining her concentration.
01:06:54Um...
01:06:55Were you the girl who was, like, banned from the Met Gala for life?
01:06:58Yeah, she is.
01:06:59She shouldn't even be here right now.
01:07:02I shouldn't be here?
01:07:03Look at the way Brynn's holding that needle.
01:07:05How much longer can you keep up...
01:07:07Just step aside and let me...
01:07:09Ugh!
01:07:11Oh.
01:07:12Okay, somebody has to call Hannah Summer.
01:07:14The chair of the Gala will know how to handle this dirty little party crasher.
01:07:17Party crasher?
01:07:21What now?
01:07:22We have a security situation.
01:07:24Party crasher on the Gala floor.
01:07:26Someone named Danny Maxwell.
01:07:29Danny?
01:07:30Anya's star designer?
01:07:35I'm fine!
01:07:36I am not some delicate little flower!
01:07:38I had a heart attack, not a lobotomy!
01:07:44Hannah!
01:07:45Darling!
01:07:48Anya...
01:07:49I just got word that Danny Maxwell has been banned from the Gala!
01:07:53Your daughter is trying to get her kicked out!
01:07:55What?!
01:07:57I said I've got it!
01:08:00Fine.
01:08:01That's the way you want it to be.
01:08:08See?
01:08:09As a true genius behind this dress, I fixed it good as new.
01:08:16Shout out to my hella talented designer Brynn Maxwell of Anya Winter Couture for dressing me tonight.
01:08:22Thanks to her, I swerved a full-on wardrobe malfunction.
01:08:25All of my hard work ruined by Brynn's ego.
01:08:44What's that?
01:08:46You know, it takes a profound lack of talents to destroy a gown so beautiful.
01:08:50Yeah, what kind of shoddy repair gown was that?
01:08:56That girl is so not worthy of dressing Solea.
01:08:59Yes, I am!
01:09:01I'm suing Anya Winters for all your brand is worth!
01:09:05This is all your fault!
01:09:07My fault?!
01:09:09I was trying to help!
01:09:11I 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!
01:09:21How?
01:09:22Are you gonna fire me like you fired Danny?
01:09:26When all those loser designers got let go, I replaced the staff with my own people.
01:09:31If I go, they go.
01:09:33How will Anya Winters keep its title as number one couture house without a design staff?
01:09:39You won't keep your spot as number one, as long as you have a fraud like Brynn as your creative director either.
01:09:47Dude, that girl is totally crashing out right now.
01:09:51I'm calling my lawyers.
01:09:53Brynn, this is all your fault!
01:09:56Okay, if you guys all want someone to blame for this, why did you blame Danny, okay?
01:10:00I didn't even make that stupid dress! She did!
01:10:07I-I-I didn't-I-I-I didn't-I didn't mean-
01:10:10I think it's finally time to show them who you really are.
01:10:12Brynn's right. I designed the dress. And I'll prove it.
01:10:19I'll prove it.
01:10:28Saleya, will you meet me on stage?
01:10:31Don't!
01:10:33You shouldn't trust that ugly lying bitch. I mean, look at her!
01:10:37She's gonna drag down your whole image.
01:10:39Image means nothing without substance, without talent.
01:10:43A true fashion genius should know that.
01:10:46Damn. That's deep.
01:10:49I agree. I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.
01:10:52Danny Maxwell, you were a genius.
01:11:03I have never seen something so stunning.
01:11:05Danny Maxwell, you were a genius
01:11:15I have never seen something so stunning
01:11:21I need her to dress me like that
01:11:23Wait, this means that I fumbled a super talented baddie?
01:11:29Oh fuck
01:11:30It's everything I've ever wanted
01:11:33You saved this night
01:11:34Holy cow
01:11:38This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen
01:11:42You're a visionary
01:11:43And this time
01:11:45Everyone knows it
01:11:48So Leia, who are you wearing?
01:11:51I'm wearing
01:11:52Danny Maxwell
01:11:54For Corset Jean Couture
01:11:59I can't be
01:12:01Danny's the superstar designer that I've ever seen
01:12:04This is what I've been trying to tell you
01:12:07Danny is a fashion icon
01:12:09Ew
01:12:12You were never the fashion prodigy of my mother's couture brand
01:12:16You were the brain dead nepo baby idiot she warned me about
01:12:20What is that strung out deadbeat intern doing at the fucking Met Gala?
01:12:27I thought you fired her, I thought you fired her
01:12:29I didn't fire her, I actually promoted her to creative director
01:12:34You promoted this deadbeat and you fired my star designer?
01:12:39Do you know how hard I've worked, do you know how much money I spent to get Danny Maxwell in my fashion house?
01:12:51She is the lifeblood of this brand
01:12:55And what did you do?
01:12:57You fired her?
01:13:01So is that Maxwell along?
01:13:05Vanessa
01:13:05You're fired
01:13:07No mom, please, please, you can't
01:13:09I need this
01:13:10I'm embarrassed to even call you my daughter
01:13:12When I turned this over to you
01:13:14My fashion house dominated the entire world of couture
01:13:18And now look at it, it's a laughingstock
01:13:20You
01:13:22You did this
01:13:24Mom, I'm really sorry
01:13:26She made me fucked up
01:13:28How did I fucked up so bad?
01:13:31Hannah is the chair of the Met Gala
01:13:36And she personally banned Danny
01:13:39You would not want a fashion outcast on your team now, would you?
01:13:43You have some nerve telling me what I did or didn't do
01:13:49You duped us all into thinking you're a fashion icon
01:13:54When you're nothing more than a dirty scammer in a designer dress
01:13:58Danny Maxwell is officially granted a lifetime invitation to the Met Gala
01:14:07But you are banned forever
01:14:11And you're fired too
01:14:13Security
01:14:14No
01:14:15Take her away
01:14:16No, please
01:14:17Hand her over to the cops
01:14:18She needs to pay for her crimes against fashion
01:14:21No, please
01:14:23Danny
01:14:26Please come back to work for me
01:14:29You know how much I have done for you
01:14:32My fashion house can't survive without you
01:14:35I am begging you
01:14:37Everything you gave me
01:14:39I gave it all back when your daughter accused me of sabotaging the thing I put my heart and soul into creating
01:14:45No, she's exaggerating, that's not what happened, it was Brynn
01:14:49She was scheming to try to steal Danny's job the whole time
01:14:52That bitch duped me and got me all confused
01:14:55Seriously?
01:14:57Well that confusion almost cost me my whole fashion career and everything I've worked for
01:15:02Did it feel good making me take the fall for your stupid mistakes?
01:15:06Danny, I'm so sorry
01:15:10I'm sorry too
01:15:13I'm not coming back to Anya Winter Couture
01:15:16I'm staying where I know I'm appreciated
01:15:18Where no one's ever questioned my talent, my vision, my style
01:15:23So please, step aside
01:15:30This is our moment
01:15:32When we at Claude St. Jean Couture wish you nothing but the best, Anya
01:15:45You ruined it!
01:15:47You have ruined everything I've built!
01:15:51Hey!
01:15:55Wow
01:15:56Really going at you like a bunch of savages, aren't they?
01:15:58Yes
01:15:59Yes
01:16:00Sorry, are you crying?
01:16:02No
01:16:03God
01:16:04You're hot
01:16:06Have you ever wanted to be the face of a menswear line?
01:16:09Hell yeah
01:16:12You better not show up at the office tomorrow
01:16:15I never should have hired you
01:16:20Oh no
01:16:21I need a job
01:16:22Vanessa
01:16:23Vanessa
01:16:26I'm too hot to be on these streets
01:16:29I'm too hot to be on these streets
01:16:33Call me
01:16:34Danny
01:16:35Why can't I ever leave you?
01:16:39We have to take some red carpet pics together
01:16:41I need all 900 million of my followers to know exactly who made my dress to me
01:16:45Give me five minutes
