You Fired A Fashion Icon
Transcript
00:00:00I can't find a delivery anywhere.
00:00:05The entire Anya Winter Spring collection is missing hours before the Paris runway show.
00:00:09I can get the courier on the phone.
00:00:10This is a nightmare!
00:00:11Bad news.
00:00:12The delivery truck lost control.
00:00:15Thirty couture guys.
00:00:17Destroyed.
00:00:18We're gonna have to cancel the show.
00:00:19No, no, no, no, no.
00:00:20This is Anya's biggest collection ever, okay?
00:00:23She worked on it for years.
00:00:25And if she comes back and we have nothing to show, we're all dead.
00:00:28What other designer besides Anya can make an entire couture collection in just hours?
00:00:33Don't worry, guys.
00:00:35I can handle it.
00:00:37Didn't she graduate college, like, yesterday?
00:00:39She definitely looks like she just pulled an all-nighter in the library.
00:00:42There's no way some intern who grabs coffee and schedules Anya's lunches can design a whole couture collection overnight.
00:00:47Guys, there's no time to argue.
00:00:48The show is in five hours.
00:00:50What are we gonna do?
00:00:51Give me that.
00:00:58And this.
00:01:03What is she doing?
00:01:07She's not even using a pattern.
00:01:09I've never seen someone beat so quickly.
00:01:11Invisible stitching.
00:01:12It's immaculate.
00:01:15There you have it.
00:01:16A gown fit for the Anya Winter Spring Couture collection.
00:01:21This is impossible.
00:01:26I thought you were just some delusional intern, but this dress...
00:01:30Most designers could only dream of making something so stunning.
00:01:33This is gonna launch a million dupes.
00:01:35But then I'm never gonna come close to the real thing.
00:01:37I heard Anya recently hired a fashion school prodigy who designed the iconic closing look in the fall collection.
00:01:42Is that you?
00:01:46No!
00:01:47It still doesn't work!
00:01:54Um...
00:01:55Miss Winter, I'm here to...
00:01:57I'm here for the fall internship.
00:01:59It's Anya.
00:02:01Why 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?
00:02:08May I?
00:02:09Sure.
00:02:10So sorry that I ripped the fabric and destroyed the flowers.
00:02:15Sacrifices do need to be made in the interest of good design.
00:02:20Not everybody knows that.
00:02:23An entire team of couture legends and nobody could come up with something this inspired.
00:02:30Forget about the internship.
00:02:32You are gonna be my head designer.
00:02:35There's no time to explain.
00:02:37We need 29 more gowns to make for the show.
00:02:39It's 3 in the morning.
00:02:40Where are we gonna find fabric for 29 dresses?
00:02:42Take those crystals off the chandelier.
00:02:44And someone cut 20 yards of silk velvet from the curtains.
00:02:47And rip the fringe from the carpet.
00:02:49And the leather from the couch cushions.
00:02:51And the new flowers.
00:02:52Stat!
00:02:55But we're gonna destroy this place!
00:02:57Sacrifices must be made in the interest of good design.
00:03:00Anya will understand.
00:03:02Holy cow.
00:03:03This is the most beautiful question I have ever seen.
00:03:04You're a visionary.
00:03:05Now let's fill this question show.
00:03:07I'm speechless.
00:03:08I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:09This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:10Dior who?
00:03:11Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:12I'm speechless.
00:03:13I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:14This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:16Dior who?
00:03:17Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:19I don't know.
00:03:20Oh.
00:03:21I have to go.
00:03:22And you've gotta go.
00:03:23All right.
00:03:24I'm gonna go.
00:03:25I've gotta go.
00:03:26Love you.
00:03:27This is the most beautiful thing.
00:03:28Come back.
00:03:29Well, let's go.
00:03:30I have to go.
00:03:31Quer a car.
00:03:32Of course.
00:03:33I'm speechless.
00:03:34I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:35This is a stunning new direction for Anya.
00:03:36Dior who?
00:03:37Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.
00:03:46If you all head back to the studio, I'll grab some champagne and celebrate.
00:03:51I can't believe Andy completed this entire collection overnight.
00:03:54Where'd she even come from?
00:03:55No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.
00:04:02What the hell is going on here?
00:04:05This is disgusting.
00:04:07Is this a design studio or the girls' bathroom of a club?
00:04:09We make groundbreaking pieces with our hands, not our big fat mouths.
00:04:14Jordan, who is this woman?
00:04:15Is she working with you on the PR team?
00:04:16PR?
00:04:17This woman is the daughter of Anya Winter.
00:04:21Vanessa got her degree from Central Saint Martins in London and is currently an editor for Vogue.
00:04:27And she'll be acting as CEO while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.
00:04:32Is this really the design team that created the top couture collection in all of Paris Fashion Week?
00:04:37Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of incompetent yappers.
00:04:40If this is about the original collection...
00:04:41I didn't ask you to speak.
00:04:43You're fired.
00:04:45Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.
00:04:51Anya Winter is now the top couture collection in the entire world.
00:04:54Time to separate the fashion icons from the frogs.
00:04:58Do you think my mother is a hard-ass?
00:05:00Just you wait.
00:05:01I expect only the most original, exciting sketches, lightning-fast designs, and perfect technicality.
00:05:09And no unnecessary distractions.
00:05:11Who does she think she is?
00:05:12Miranda Priestly?
00:05:13Oh, my God.
00:05:19What is this?
00:05:21Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.
00:05:23No!
00:05:26That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!
00:05:32Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your steam.
00:05:36Jordan, be a doll and go get her a souvenir Eiffel Tower keychain as a thank you for her hard work.
00:05:42Oh, yeah, and by the way, you're fired.
00:05:48Okay.
00:05:49Now, please, can somebody show me something?
00:05:52A collection.
00:05:53Congratulations!
00:05:56Who are you?
00:05:58You.
00:05:59You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio.
00:06:02You're fired.
00:06:03Wait, you're firing me?
00:06:07Danny Maxwell.
00:06:09Jordan, what does this lumpy little girl do here?
00:06:12Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.
00:06:14She's an intern?
00:06:16Mm.
00:06:17So what?
00:06:18You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom to throw a rager
00:06:21the night before the biggest couture show in the history of this house?
00:06:25That's not what we...
00:06:27I would say we could take out the damages from your salary.
00:06:30But you're probably not getting paid.
00:06:32Actually, she's our highest paid employee.
00:06:34She's making over $500,000.
00:06:36Jordan!
00:06:37That's...
00:06:37That's confidential.
00:06:38So you're scamming my mother?
00:06:41You know, she might be getting old, but she's not an idiot.
00:06:44And what?
00:06:45This is how you spend the money?
00:06:47No, no.
00:06:47Look, the team was up all night working.
00:06:49Our hands are cramping.
00:06:50We're tired, but we saved the spring show.
00:06:54Don't we deserve to celebrate?
00:06:57Celebrate.
00:06:58By destroying a studio?
00:07:00Lying?
00:07:02Talking back to your superiors?
00:07:04Drinking on the job?
00:07:06No wonder my mother had a heart attack.
00:07:09Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.
00:07:12Unless, of course, you're just as useless as she is.
00:07:15Or do you actually care about this brand's legacy?
00:07:18Jordan and I have been dating for two years.
00:07:21He knows how hard I work.
00:07:23But there's no way he's going to throw me under the bus.
00:07:25Danny's my girlfriend.
00:07:26If I take her side, I'll be committing a career suicide.
00:07:30You're right.
00:07:31Danny's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.
00:07:35Jordan, seriously?
00:07:36What are you still doing here, intern?
00:07:39Pack up your shit and get out of here.
00:07:42If that's how it's going to be.
00:07:43This isn't Danny's fault.
00:07:44She's the one who saved...
00:07:45Oh, do you want to go with her?
00:07:49If anyone else here helps Danny destroy this studio, please, feel free to speak up now.
00:07:55It's okay, guys.
00:07:56Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.
00:07:58You've all earned your spots.
00:08:00It was my fault.
00:08:04I'm leaving.
00:08:08How could you?
00:08:12Be back.
00:08:13Dispose of that piece of shit.
00:08:18Baby!
00:08:19I'm so sorry.
00:08:22We've been together for two years.
00:08:23You couldn't even defend me?
00:08:24She would have fired me on the spot.
00:08:27Look, we both know that I don't have a degree.
00:08:31And it's a miracle that you got me this job.
00:08:34And if I lose it, then...
00:08:37Then who's going to pay for all the expensive champagne that we're going to have at our anniversary dinner tonight?
00:08:42Well, you better spring for caviar, too.
00:08:46You owe me big time, Jordan.
00:08:49I promise I'm going to make it up to you.
00:08:52Let's meet tonight at eight.
00:08:54Okay?
00:08:55Let's have a magical last night in Paris.
00:08:58I'll see you then.
00:08:58You're frumpy little girlfriend is a recipe for bad press.
00:09:08So are those other big-mouth bitches.
00:09:11Not a good look for the PR manager.
00:09:13Thanks not much.
00:09:14She better not be.
00:09:15You're hot, you know.
00:09:20My mother wants to start a menswear line.
00:09:22You could be the PR director.
00:09:25What do you prefer?
00:09:26An unemployed fashion flop?
00:09:28Or a rich, powerful boss?
00:09:33Say it.
00:09:35Mommy?
00:09:35What else?
00:09:37What else?
00:09:38Does baby need a change?
00:09:41Baby needs a change.
00:09:42Mm-hmm.
00:09:43Yeah, he does.
00:09:44It's stinky.
00:09:45Oh, thank you so much.
00:09:47Yes, Mother.
00:09:49Mm-hmm.
00:09:52Stupid people.
00:09:53They want to keep me here for two more weeks.
00:09:59I need you to run things a little while longer.
00:10:02I have stylists breathing down my neck after that marvel of a couture show.
00:10:07I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.
00:10:09Thank God we have her on the team.
00:10:12I know how you can be, Vanessa.
00:10:15You better treat her right.
00:10:19Maxwell?
00:10:20Oh, God.
00:10:21Is that the frumpy intern I just fired?
00:10:23Hello?
00:10:24I'm speaking to you.
00:10:25Yes, Mother.
00:10:26One second.
00:10:28Is there any other Maxwell in the design team?
00:10:30Oh, Mrs. Settler.
00:10:31You're going to stop this at some point.
00:10:32Oh, ugh.
00:10:33She single-handedly saved my last two shows.
00:10:38A creative genius.
00:10:40I mean, I snatched her up right out of college to make sure those other couture houses couldn't
00:10:44get their hands on her.
00:10:45Without her, this whole house will crumble.
00:10:53Don't worry, Mother.
00:10:57I'll treat her like a queen.
00:10:58You better.
00:10:59And there's another Maxwell.
00:11:02What is her name?
00:11:03Anyway, she is a fucking disaster.
00:11:06A brain-dead Nepo baby intern who never shows up.
00:11:09And when she does, she's useless.
00:11:12Do me a favor.
00:11:13Fire her.
00:11:15Thank God.
00:11:16Of course, that tasteless tornado I fired was just a pointless intern.
00:11:20Don't worry, Mother.
00:11:21I already handled it.
00:11:25I'll come check on things the second they discharge me from this hellhole.
00:11:30Rest up, and I'll take care of everything.
00:11:35I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser.
00:11:38Now, where were we?
00:11:40What the hell do you want?
00:11:47The studio phone's been ringing off the hook.
00:11:49Well, who is it?
00:11:50It's Solea's team.
00:11:52Solea?
00:11:53As in the most famous actress in the world?
00:11:55She needs a dress for the Met Gala.
00:11:57She wants to see sketches for five looks inspired by the new collection.
00:12:01In one hour.
00:12:04Well, let's hope Maxwell can hold us all.
00:12:07Where is Brynn Maxwell?
00:12:12Jordan, get Brynn on the phone and tell her nicely to get her ass here now.
00:12:17What happened?
00:12:25I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection.
00:12:28But I guess they've got bigger problems.
00:12:32Danny, the grumpy dumbass.
00:12:35She left her old sketch portfolio.
00:12:37Oh my gosh, these are iconic.
00:12:40No wonder Anya was obsessed with her.
00:12:41I rolled up hungover five hours late after almost ruining the Paris fashion show.
00:12:49I'm definitely getting fired.
00:12:51Where are you?
00:12:52We need five sketches to send us to Leia's team for her Met Gala look ASAP.
00:12:56Miss Winter said if you pull this off, you'll be on fast track to becoming creative director.
00:13:01Be right there.
00:13:04Why would they ask me, a brand new intern, to dress the most famous woman in the world?
00:13:09Whatever.
00:13:10I'll use Danny's sketches and no one will know.
00:13:13Oh my gosh.
00:13:14I'm gonna be a star.
00:13:17Well?
00:13:18Brynn's handling it.
00:13:19Nice work.
00:13:21Man, dressing Salea, that's like, I'm so sick.
00:13:25I know.
00:13:26This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.
00:13:30And as acting CEO of this fashion house, I'll be invited to the best parties with the most rich and famous people.
00:13:36And you could be my D.
00:13:38Unless, of course, you want to go with Danny.
00:13:45Where is Jordan?
00:13:46He's 20 when it's late.
00:13:48I don't want her.
00:13:50I was gonna break up with her tonight anyway.
00:13:53I want you.
00:13:55Duh.
00:13:55Good choice.
00:14:00I guess I'll drag him here myself.
00:14:03God, you're so powerful, so sexy.
00:14:06It's her anniversary, and you're fucking the woman who fired me?
00:14:17She is a fashion superstar.
00:14:21Okay, and you're just...
00:14:22An unemployed loser.
00:14:24You spineless dick.
00:14:26You psycho bitch!
00:14:28Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:14:29That's it, you cheating piece of...
00:14:30Danny, Danny, you are embarrassing yourself.
00:14:33I'm the embarrassment.
00:14:35Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.
00:14:38And now you're shoving your tongue down your new box's throat?
00:14:40You know your place, you tacky, talentless slob.
00:14:46Face it, Danny.
00:14:47You're a fan.
00:14:48And you can't get mad at me for...
00:14:51Upgrading.
00:14:54I love to, Jordan.
00:14:57And the only reason you're here is because of that.
00:14:59Because I told Anya to make you PR manager.
00:15:02Are you kidding me?
00:15:03More ridiculous lies.
00:15:05You?
00:15:06You're a deadbeat intern.
00:15:07As if my mother would have anything to do with you.
00:15:11We are over, Danny.
00:15:19I'm calling security.
00:15:21Why don't you call your mother instead?
00:15:22The founder of this house.
00:15:24She'll tell you that you're making a huge mistake.
00:15:27You know, enough with the bullshit, Danny.
00:15:28It's cringe.
00:15:29Is this how you got your job here?
00:15:31By spewing insane lies?
00:15:33Hi, security.
00:15:34Yes, there's a delusional ex-employee who's refusing to leave my studio.
00:15:40Oh, Danny.
00:15:42Don't be sad.
00:15:42Look, I get it.
00:15:44I'm powerful, smart, experienced.
00:15:49And you?
00:15:50Well, you're jobless, talentless, and irrelevant.
00:15:55Look, if I were you, I would go on home and drown your sorrows in a bottle of cheap champagne.
00:16:00Unless, of course, you'd rather spend your last night in Paris in a jail cell.
00:16:03Fine.
00:16:03I'm done here anyway.
00:16:10And where do you think you're going, Danny?
00:16:12Guards!
00:16:13She's over here.
00:16:14Who the hell are you?
00:16:18I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture Collection.
00:16:21Bryn Maxwell.
00:16:23Oh.
00:16:24Wow.
00:16:25Well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.
00:16:28Oh.
00:16:29Is that an archival saline bag?
00:16:32Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.
00:16:34It's no wonder you created such a groundbreaking collection.
00:16:37These dumbasses don't even know that I'm totally jacking Danny's glory.
00:16:40Who cares?
00:16:42As long as Anya's daughter thinks I'm a genius, I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.
00:16:47Vanessa, I know who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring Collection.
00:16:53She's the one that made the routing error that caused the truck to crash.
00:16:56She's obviously trying to sabotage the brand.
00:16:59What?
00:16:59Danny's done it again.
00:17:08You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?
00:17:11Danny Maxwell?
00:17:12She was just fired from Anya Winters' fashion house.
00:17:14The show's a hit.
00:17:15How is that possible?
00:17:16Apparently Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.
00:17:18Of course.
00:17:20I would love to see the look on Anya Winters' face when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of a daughter fired her star designer.
00:17:27Call Danny up.
00:17:28Let's get her here.
00:17:28But Anya Winters is the number one fashion house in the world.
00:17:31We're not even ranked top ten.
00:17:32Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Danny's door already.
00:17:35You really think she would work for us?
00:17:36I'll do anything to get Danny on this team.
00:17:39Rumor has it Saleh is looking for a new designer for her Met Gela look.
00:17:42And if we can dress the most famous woman on the planet on the biggest night in fashion,
00:17:46we'll be the new brand on top.
00:17:50Get the jet ready.
00:17:51I'm going to Paris.
00:17:52And I'm not leaving without Danny Maxwell.
00:17:55Sabotage?
00:17:58Are you kidding me?
00:17:59You can take the fall from my stupid mistake, Danny.
00:18:02Who will believe you over me?
00:18:04You were out partying all night when you should have been confirming the route with Currier.
00:18:07And you destroyed my mother's studio on your drunken bender.
00:18:10You all see me as some incompetent intern just because I'm not wearing the latest off-the-runway clothes.
00:18:15Maybe Daddy's black card can buy you Celine, but can it buy you talent, too?
00:18:19You think I caused that disaster?
00:18:21You think she is your savior?
00:18:24Well, then best of luck when Anya comes back and sees what a mess you've made.
00:18:27This is your mess, Danny Maxwell.
00:18:29I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate yes.
00:18:32Don't touch me.
00:18:35Jordan, don't let them do this.
00:18:37We both know you're not capable of handling the outcome.
00:18:39First you threaten Bryn, and then you threaten me.
00:18:43You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Danny.
00:18:46You know, jealousy looks hideous on you.
00:18:48So why don't you go ahead and pick up your mistakes and get the fuck out before you get locked up.
00:18:54What can they even arrest me for?
00:18:56Let's see.
00:18:57Vandalism, insubordination, and that sweater is definitely a crime against fashion.
00:19:02Don't you know that I can end your entire fashion career with one phone call to my mother?
00:19:06Then go ahead.
00:19:08Do it.
00:19:11If Vanessa calls Anya, she'll find out that Danny's the real star designer.
00:19:16Vanessa, your mom's in recovery.
00:19:18Shouldn't you go to the fashion council first instead?
00:19:21To make sure another fashion house isn't infected with Danny's terrible taste?
00:19:25Bryn's right. You should go right to the source.
00:19:27Do not let her get away with this.
00:19:28I have all my mother's industry contacts at my fingertips.
00:19:33I'm texting the fashion council now.
00:19:35Danny Maxwell is blacklisted from Anya Winter.
00:19:39Other designers, beware of this dangerous scammer.
00:19:43No other fashion house will want you now.
00:19:45Good luck getting a part-time job at Forever 21.
00:19:48Guess that's that then.
00:19:50But before I go, I have one question for you, Vanessa.
00:19:53Vanessa, does Anya, the CEO and creator of this fashion house, know that you fired me?
00:19:58What kind of idiot do you think I am, Danny?
00:20:01My mother practically begged me to fire your incompetent ass.
00:20:04You thought you could roll up here in your bargain bin sweater and call yourself a fashion icon?
00:20:10Your career is so hopeful.
00:20:12Hey, security, can you take her away and throw her to something?
00:20:15Jail cell, police, whatever?
00:20:16Get your hands off of her hands.
00:20:22That is my new creative director.
00:20:26Danny Maxwell will join Claude St. John's fashion house.
00:20:29Claude St. John of St. John Couture?
00:20:32You came all the way from New York for me?
00:20:34Of course.
00:20:36I flew straight here.
00:20:39Nice to see you again, Danny.
00:20:40I haven't seen you since I interned at Valentino my freshman year.
00:20:44Wait, you went to Valentino with him?
00:20:48How'd you get that job, Danny?
00:20:50You scam your way into that one, too?
00:20:53God, Danny.
00:20:54We went out.
00:20:55I had no idea that you were such a grifter.
00:20:58I feel so used.
00:21:01So this is how Anya Winter treats their most talented designers.
00:21:05You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.
00:21:07Claude, I...
00:21:08That is Mr. St. John to you.
00:21:09And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.
00:21:13Yeah, what are you, a mid-level PR pawn?
00:21:15You should probably know when to shut the hell up.
00:21:17Mr. St. John, Danny here has done irreparable damage.
00:21:21Sorry, who the hell are you?
00:21:22Obviously I.
00:21:23I'm right.
00:21:24I don't have time for your rambling.
00:21:25Enough!
00:21:26This idiot destroyed my mother's collection,
00:21:29wrecked her entire Paris fashion studio,
00:21:31ruined the entire couture show,
00:21:33almost lost us millions.
00:21:34And why are we still talking about her?
00:21:36Did you not ask your mother who Danny was before you fired her?
00:21:39What kind of idiot do you think I am?
00:21:45My mother runs this fashion house with an iron fist.
00:21:48Of course I consulted her, and you know what she said?
00:21:51She said that this idiot Danny is a Nepo baby intern
00:21:54who scammed her way into the job.
00:21:57Brain dead.
00:21:58Anya actually said this.
00:22:00And a useless disaster.
00:22:01She quite literally said to me,
00:22:03do me a favor and fire this bitch.
00:22:05Anya practically begged me to work for her.
00:22:08She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.
00:22:10Okay, we all know Anya, okay?
00:22:11And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything,
00:22:14especially to work with a deadweight intern.
00:22:17Then why are you still here?
00:22:18What, you little...
00:22:19Oh, don't even try it.
00:22:22Danny, will you come with me
00:22:24and be my new creative director of Saint Jean Couture?
00:22:26God, I don't know.
00:22:27Hey, whatever you are making, I will double it.
00:22:29Okay, her salary is 500K.
00:22:31She's literally robbing us blinds.
00:22:33A million it is then.
00:22:38Please, a million dollar salary?
00:22:40Your fashion house doesn't even rank in the top 10.
00:22:43Are you clinically insane?
00:22:45You're an even bigger bullshitter than Danny.
00:22:48A million dollars for a talentless intern.
00:22:51Way to dig your own grave.
00:22:53I thought I told you to shut up.
00:22:56Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.
00:22:59Seriously, but it's not about the money.
00:23:02Danny.
00:23:03If you join my fashion house,
00:23:04the title of creative director will be yours.
00:23:07Creative control over the next season's Couture collection
00:23:08will be yours.
00:23:10My designers, my studio, my full trust.
00:23:14And hell, if you want me, I'm even yours too.
00:23:18Oh, Claude.
00:23:20Okay, look, I get it.
00:23:21You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand,
00:23:24and I respect you for that.
00:23:26So let me remind you that Danny is a lazy scam artist.
00:23:30Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.
00:23:33In that case...
00:23:37Okay.
00:23:40What is all this shit?
00:23:42This shit is everything that your mother gifted me.
00:23:44Her one and only key to her personal studio,
00:23:47the business black card in my name,
00:23:48which I could have used to repair the damages,
00:23:50but I guess that's not my concern anymore.
00:23:53You can tell Anya that I, Danny Maxwell,
00:23:56am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house
00:23:59and never, ever come back.
00:24:02Aw.
00:24:03So sad for us.
00:24:06Not.
00:24:07You did not deserve any special treatment, Danny.
00:24:09I mean, just look at you.
00:24:10You're a complete fashion flop.
00:24:13You know, you are all so wrapped up in beauty standards
00:24:15and bullshit that you can't even see the design talent
00:24:17that is right in front of you.
00:24:20Danny, it is true.
00:24:22We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter
00:24:24for the number one title spot.
00:24:25Then I'm going to change that.
00:24:26I'll join as creative director.
00:24:29And by this time, next season's runway show,
00:24:32Saint Jean Couture will be number one.
00:24:37You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Danny.
00:24:40Losing your spot at the number one fashion house
00:24:42to go and work for this desperate up-and-comer.
00:24:47Although, who else would hire you?
00:24:50Embarrassed for her.
00:24:51You know Vanessa's going to burn this place to the ground,
00:24:53and you are going to be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.
00:24:56And something tells me you're not qualified for that, are you?
00:25:00Qualified?
00:25:01And what exactly are you qualified for?
00:25:03Propositioning idiotic interns
00:25:04to go out and peddle up your hideous designs
00:25:08to some micro-influencers?
00:25:10What?
00:25:10I did.
00:25:17She did.
00:25:20She will.
00:25:22Who is that?
00:25:23That.
00:25:24The Soleil's team.
00:25:25They've asked for five sketches from Danny
00:25:26for her Metcala look.
00:25:28What was that about micro-influencers?
00:25:31If I'm not mistaken,
00:25:32she has more followers than anyone in the world?
00:25:36Absolutely not.
00:25:37Bryn is supposed to design Soleil's gown.
00:25:39Bryn?
00:25:41Guess we got ourselves some competition.
00:25:43This isn't a competition.
00:25:45It's an all-out fashion war.
00:25:47Well, I hope you're ready to die on the battlefield.
00:25:49Let's go, Danny.
00:25:50Gladly.
00:25:51I'm losing brain cells talking to these people.
00:25:54May the best designer win.
00:25:58Don't worry about her, Vanessa.
00:26:00Just send these to Soleil's team,
00:26:01and there's no way she won't pick us.
00:26:05I'll be Danny with her own designs.
00:26:07Oh, my God.
00:26:08Bryn, these are incredible.
00:26:11Between these and the spring couture collection,
00:26:14you've really proven yourself.
00:26:16I'm officially naming you as creative director of On Winter Couture.
00:26:21This is a dream come true.
00:26:24And don't forget about me in the face of the men's wear line.
00:26:32Great.
00:26:33One step at a time.
00:26:35Stick with me, and you'll be very satisfied.
00:26:39Every designer will be gunning for our spot as top couture collection in the world.
00:26:44That's why we need to dress Soleil at the Met Gala.
00:26:47And no one can touch us.
00:26:48Not even clawed in that hack of Danny.
00:26:52I won't lay you down, Vanessa.
00:26:53Now, walk me through how you designed the couture collection in four hours.
00:26:58How did I do it?
00:27:01Oh, God.
00:27:02I can't design the crap.
00:27:04I have no idea how Danny pulled that off.
00:27:06What the hell am I going to tell her?
00:27:07I used a highly specialized sewing technique that I learned in my final year of fashion school.
00:27:15The details are really boring.
00:27:16I could show you later.
00:27:18Of course.
00:27:19You have your own technique.
00:27:20You are the creative genius.
00:27:22I mean, these are already Met Gala worthy.
00:27:24If you can bring them to life half as well as you did the spring collection,
00:27:27you have nothing to worry about.
00:27:28Nothing at all.
00:27:30I am now the creative director of the number one fashion house in the world.
00:27:35Step aside, Danny.
00:27:36I'm the new couture queen now.
00:27:41What do you want?
00:27:43Anya, it's Claude Zanjean.
00:27:45Listen, I'm just calling to let you know that we are officially in the running to dress
00:27:48Soleil at her Met Gala.
00:27:50What?
00:27:51We are the number one couture house in the world right now.
00:27:55Why would she want you to dress her as if some young, arrogant, dumbass could...
00:27:59Listen, I'm not calling to discuss this.
00:28:01I'm just simply letting you know.
00:28:02What the hell is that rat up to?
00:28:11He knows I have a design prodigy at my right hand.
00:28:14Why would he think anybody could be a superstar like Danny?
00:28:23Unless...
00:28:23Mother, you'll never believe the sketches I got from...
00:28:28Tell me you didn't fire my most talented designer!
00:28:33Calm down, mother, or else you'll have another heart attack.
00:28:37Like I told you already, I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.
00:28:41Why the hell is Claude St. John competing with us for the Met Gala partnership?
00:28:46Well, I just figured it was pointless to talk him out of it when he's obviously going to crash and burn along with that talentless intern.
00:28:52They'll design something cheap and tacky for Silea, and then she'll tell everybody she knows not to touch St. John Couture with a 10-foot pole.
00:29:02And then their sad little fashion careers.
00:29:05They'll be over it before they even started.
00:29:07So you gaslit Claude into hiring our cast-off?
00:29:12Sure did.
00:29:13He's convinced that the talentless Nepo baby is the creative genius behind our spring line.
00:29:17That's brilliant.
00:29:20And I thought you're a weak little pushover like your father, but...
00:29:24Maybe you're more like me than I knew.
00:29:26Vanessa, I want you to take full control over the Met Gala partnership with Silea.
00:29:32Oh, thank you.
00:29:33No more talking.
00:29:35It's time to get to work, and we need to make damn sure Silea picks our gown for the gala.
00:29:41We are going to make Claude St. John the laughingstock of the fashion industry.
00:29:49Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.
00:29:51Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.
00:29:54Are you sure she can handle this?
00:29:55Did I ask your opinion?
00:29:57My daughter can't fuck this up.
00:29:59Not with Danny Maxwell designing the gown for Silea.
00:30:03Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude St. John to hire our strung-out sad sack of an intern?
00:30:11I get to sit back and watch Danny work her magic for Silea's gown
00:30:16while that hack of a talent completely tanks what's left of Claude's fashion house.
00:30:25So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?
00:30:36It's insane what you've accomplished.
00:30:39I mean, four years ago, you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino,
00:30:42and now look at you.
00:30:43Your own couture line.
00:30:45It's everything you ever wanted.
00:30:48Not everything.
00:30:51Well, what about you, Danny?
00:30:52I mean, when I met you, you were a quiet little intern,
00:30:54and now you're a fashion genius.
00:30:57I'm serious.
00:30:58I mean, that work you did on that spring collection,
00:31:00it was inspiring.
00:31:01Yes.
00:31:10Of course.
00:31:12You'll be there.
00:31:15Silea loved your Michaela sketches, huh?
00:31:17She told her favorite from you and Brayden she wants you both to show her sample.
00:31:21Oh my God, when?
00:31:24Tomorrow afternoon?
00:31:25You have 24 hours to make this dress for Silea.
00:31:28Better get started.
00:31:30I mean, we just got back from New York, and I...
00:31:32You created an entire couture collection in what?
00:31:35Four hours?
00:31:36This should be a breeze, right?
00:31:37Right.
00:31:38I can totally pull this off.
00:31:40Then do it.
00:31:42Now!
00:31:45You think you can pull off creating a Met Gala gown for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?
00:31:49Who do you think you're talking to?
00:31:51Whatever it is, it just needs to be better than this.
00:31:53This is our competition.
00:31:55That's my sketch!
00:31:59That fraud brand's been stealing my designs.
00:32:04Of course.
00:32:06She has no real talent of her own.
00:32:11Damn.
00:32:12That dress is insane.
00:32:14A skirt with a stained glass?
00:32:18Sane is right.
00:32:18It's going to be nearly impossible to sew a bodice that can support the weight of the skirt.
00:32:22But if Silea puts on this gown, it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:32:26Printer wants to be a fashion icon so bad.
00:32:29How would she pull this off?
00:32:31Then it's an easy win, right?
00:32:33We just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.
00:32:35Not exactly.
00:32:37I'm going to make the same exact dress, only better.
00:32:41Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.
00:32:44But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.
00:32:45I said nearly impossible.
00:32:53Brin can try to rip off my designs all she wants.
00:32:56But without the brains or skills to back it up, there's no way she's going to pull it off.
00:33:01And if she tries, that gown is going to fall apart faster than you can say a fashion victim.
00:33:06Let's remember this day, the last day that Claude Sejourn Couture will be at the bottom of the fashion food chase.
00:33:16By this time tomorrow, we'll be the new rulers of the Couture kingdom.
00:33:20What the hell is this?
00:33:26Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress to the bottom of the dress?
00:33:29Oh, my God.
00:33:30Brin, the skirt is too heavy.
00:33:32I have no excuses.
00:33:33We have four hours to make a dress for Slaya.
00:33:42Gosh, I wish I was getting trash out of club right now.
00:33:44Brin!
00:33:46How's everything going?
00:33:47Great.
00:33:48I just dropped my scissors.
00:33:49We're putting on the finishing touches.
00:33:52Phone call.
00:33:54I need an update on the Met Gala.
00:33:56Now!
00:33:57Don't worry, Mother.
00:33:58I have everything under control.
00:33:59That clown Claude and the fraud designer are going down.
00:34:04You're killing it, Vanessa.
00:34:06Your mother raised an amazing woman.
00:34:11Keep it up.
00:34:12There might be another promotion in your future.
00:34:14If I can pull this off, I'll go down in fashion history.
00:34:22Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?
00:34:24Denny.
00:34:34Denny.
00:34:39Denny.
00:34:40Wake up.
00:34:41Come on.
00:34:45Let's get you to bed.
00:34:46Let's get you to bed.
00:34:48Good morning, superstar.
00:35:04This is it.
00:35:17The gown that can make or break me.
00:35:25You should be proud, Denny.
00:35:28It's exceptional.
00:35:30Just like you.
00:35:31Thanks, I...
00:35:34I couldn't have done it without you.
00:35:42Oh, God.
00:35:43I need to change what I'm wearing to meet the most famous woman in the world.
00:35:46Don't worry about it.
00:35:48I had my editor friend Marco pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.
00:35:52Pick anything you like.
00:35:53See you at the meeting.
00:36:09Gosh, this is a freaking disaster.
00:36:11What am I going to do?
00:36:13Brynn!
00:36:14Brynn!
00:36:18That better be the best stress you've ever made.
00:36:22Let's go.
00:36:23Ready to retire early, Claude?
00:36:29We're going to get that MacGala partnership.
00:36:31In your dreams, Vanessa.
00:36:32Where's your top secret weapon?
00:36:34She'll be here soon.
00:36:35She'll make a big impression on Zalaya.
00:36:37Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?
00:36:41I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.
00:36:46Her talent speaks for itself.
00:36:47Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.
00:36:51I just have to find a way to switch mine and Danny's garment bags when no one's looking.
00:36:57It's not like Zalaya would even trust that unstylish little piece of...
00:37:00Danny.
00:37:10You look stunning.
00:37:13Thanks.
00:37:16Speechless.
00:37:17Is that a first?
00:37:18Are those that...
00:37:19One-of-a-kind Anya Winter Fall Couture Girls?
00:37:22Yes.
00:37:23I am.
00:37:24Okay, but why would my mother give you those?
00:37:26She wouldn't even let me near them.
00:37:28They were a gift for designing her final look in her fall collection.
00:37:31What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?
00:37:34Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern, but taking credit for another designer's work?
00:37:39That's a whole new look.
00:37:40Taking credit for another designer's work.
00:37:44Friend, I know a thing or two about that.
00:37:47Watch, he...
00:37:47Careful now.
00:37:49You think you're some design protege, Danny?
00:37:52This, give me that, this is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.
00:37:59If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's going to see that I'm a total fraud.
00:38:02So, Leia will see you now.
00:38:07Designers only.
00:38:08For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.
00:38:13Hey.
00:38:15You've got this.
00:38:16There's no way she's not going to pick you.
00:38:21Everything is riding on this Matt Gala partnership.
00:38:24Don't fuck it up.
00:38:25I won't let you down.
00:38:29So, Leia is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.
00:38:32You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.
00:38:34Just don't touch anything.
00:38:39The dress you made?
00:38:40Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design?
00:38:43Or is it stolen?
00:38:46I don't know what you're talking about.
00:38:48You 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 Matt Gala?
00:38:56Tell me, Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle
00:39:01That dress you designed is beautiful, but very, very complicated.
00:39:09How did you manage to pull that off?
00:39:11We'll see.
00:39:12Won't we?
00:39:14Yes, we will.
00:39:14Oh, my gown is hideous.
00:39:24If I don't do something fast, everyone's going to find out that I'm a total fraud.
00:39:28I've just gotten to use a fashion thing, and I'm not letting Danny, that disaster, take it from me.
00:39:46Bye-bye, Danny.
00:39:59So, Leia's arriving now.
00:40:01No photos, no sucking up, and no touching.
00:40:04Unless she touches you.
00:40:05Got it?
00:40:05Got it.
00:40:06So, Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.
00:40:16It's so nice to meet you.
00:40:18Where's the other one?
00:40:19She must be running a little bit late.
00:40:21I hate people who waste my time.
00:40:22I think she saw my gown and she felt inadequate.
00:40:26Let's see it then.
00:40:27Bryn knocked me out and stole my dress.
00:40:47I knew she was a snake, but I didn't realize she was psychotic.
00:40:53The sample preview is starting now, and I have nothing to show.
00:40:57Or maybe I do.
00:41:07I present to you your Met Gala look.
00:41:12Sorry, fam.
00:41:13It's my Pisces moon.
00:41:15This is, like, the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.
00:41:19I feel connected to it on, like, a cosmic level.
00:41:22I must wear this dress.
00:41:24I knew you would love it.
00:41:25But what about the other designer?
00:41:27She might.
00:41:27She's late.
00:41:29I'll give her three seconds.
00:41:30If she doesn't show up, then I've made my choice.
00:41:32Three, two...
00:41:34Wait!
00:41:36I'm so sorry I'm late, Leia.
00:41:38I had a little bump in the book.
00:41:42I suppose I can forgive you.
00:41:44Mercury is in retrograde.
00:41:45Nice gown, Bryn.
00:41:48I wish I could say the same, Dani, but...
00:41:52You are stinks.
00:41:53Gee, I wonder why that is.
00:41:56This dress is so trippy.
00:41:59My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.
00:42:03Okay, but you're not, like, crying.
00:42:04I mean, like, mine is still better.
00:42:07Right?
00:42:08I wouldn't say that.
00:42:10What?
00:42:12Isn't that crazy?
00:42:14That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and Solea still likes my design better?
00:42:20How much longer can you keep up this straight?
00:42:22I must know.
00:42:24What was your inspiration?
00:42:26I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and you get the
00:42:33trash and make a treasure.
00:42:36Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.
00:42:39Or like a rat from a dumpster.
00:42:42I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.
00:42:45Dani, I feel like you really get me.
00:42:48You're a true artist with a true vision.
00:42:50Okay, well, what about my vision?
00:42:52What about my art?
00:42:54Brynn's right.
00:42:56She should also have the chance to explain her design.
00:43:00Brynn, tell us how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?
00:43:07Crap, I have no idea how Dani made this.
00:43:10What do I say?
00:43:12How did I do it?
00:43:13Um, you're not gatekeeping your creative process from Solea, are you?
00:43:19If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala, doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?
00:43:28It's true, Solea doesn't like gatekeepers.
00:43:31It's a simple question, Brynn.
00:43:33If you can't answer it, then like, did you really even make the dress?
00:43:36I think the real question here is why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?
00:43:43Clearly she's trying to steal my technique because she knows she doesn't measure up.
00:43:47Okay, this taped together thing is not fashion, okay?
00:43:50It's an elementary school art project.
00:43:52Solea, you cannot wear Dani's dress.
00:43:56I mean, look at it.
00:43:56It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
00:43:59Besides, it's made out of New York Street trash.
00:44:04She's right.
00:44:05It does kind of have like a fishy smell to it.
00:44:08Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.
00:44:12Well, obviously this is just a sample.
00:44:14The real dress would not...
00:44:15Okay, but my sample is pristine.
00:44:16I mean, Solea, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway, but Dani's?
00:44:23Dani's is probably made out of disease, rat feces, and meat juice.
00:44:29Oh, God.
00:44:30You know I'm a diehard vegan.
00:44:34I've made my decision.
00:44:35The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...
00:44:39Brynn's.
00:44:43I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala.
00:44:45It's too big of a risk, even for me.
00:44:48Oh, I'm sorry, Dani.
00:44:50But it's easier to go back to trash when...
00:44:52You are trash.
00:44:55But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.
00:44:59Brynn, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?
00:45:02Like, like, right now?
00:45:04You made this dress in 24 hours.
00:45:06Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.
00:45:08Once Solea sees Brynn for the fraud she is, she'll have to reconsider her choice.
00:45:12Yeah.
00:45:14Brynn, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?
00:45:19Now.
00:45:25I really work better alone.
00:45:28Not today you don't.
00:45:29Do you want me to wear your dress at the Met Gala or not?
00:45:31This is it.
00:45:33This is it.
00:45:33The moment everyone sees that I am a total fraud.
00:45:38The moment my talents will finally be recognized.
00:45:42Solea, Hannah Summer, the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine, is here to see you.
00:45:46Oh my god, and she's the chair of the Met Gala board.
00:45:49She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.
00:45:51Maybe they're gonna do a feature.
00:45:53Oh my god, she's coming up here right now.
00:45:54Wait, you're not Hannah.
00:46:01Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.
00:46:04I'm her personal assistant, here to deliver a message.
00:46:07On Anya Winter's suggestion and by the Fashion Council's orders,
00:46:12Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry and banned from the Met Gala for life.
00:46:20Banned?
00:46:21What the hell for?
00:46:22In subordination, sabotage amounting to millions of dollars in potential losses,
00:46:27a general lack of personal style.
00:46:31Those aren't just faceless lies.
00:46:34I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.
00:46:37How dare you come into Solea's personal studio,
00:46:40waste her precious time knowing you are hated by literally everyone in the fashion industry.
00:46:44Are you trying to tank her career?
00:46:47This is so unnecessarily toxic.
00:46:50This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.
00:46:53Get her out of here.
00:46:54Now.
00:46:59Congratulations.
00:47:00I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.
00:47:03And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.
00:47:08Hey, Danny, what the hell?
00:47:10Hey, get your hands off of me right now.
00:47:14You okay?
00:47:16Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.
00:47:18Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life, too.
00:47:21Banned?
00:47:21By who?
00:47:23Hannah Summer herself.
00:47:25The editor-in-chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny.
00:47:29This is the best day of my life.
00:47:33Mine, too.
00:47:34Vanessa, I bow to you.
00:47:36Okay.
00:47:38I am the real hero here.
00:47:40I mean, Solea's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.
00:47:43And Danny here is going to go get herself a little job at McDonald's.
00:47:46The fashion world is not going to miss you.
00:47:49I've given everything for this fashion house.
00:47:52And how do you repay me?
00:47:53By turning everyone in the industry against me?
00:47:57Not everyone.
00:48:00Let's go, Danny.
00:48:07I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.
00:48:12I can't believe it.
00:48:14Look at our latest post.
00:48:15Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.
00:48:18I'll be giving the designer a very special shout-out on stage after my exclusive performance.
00:48:23Like, that's my dress.
00:48:26That should be me on the Met Gala stage.
00:48:29Bryn and Vanessa can't get away with this.
00:48:31They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...
00:48:34And they're everything that you're not.
00:48:38You deserve to be on that stage.
00:48:40And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.
00:48:44I know what I have to do.
00:48:48I'm going to sneak into the Met Gala.
00:48:51Hell yes, you are.
00:48:51I'm sneaking into the Met Gala now.
00:48:54I have work to do.
00:48:55Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:57Let me handle that.
00:48:58Now, let's drink.
00:49:00Celebrate your rise back to the top.
00:49:05Well, it hasn't happened yet.
00:49:08But it will.
00:49:09You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.
00:49:16Didn't they used to call you...
00:49:18One Cup Club?
00:49:19Oh.
00:49:21You're tall, but you're quite the length.
00:49:24I'm hurt, Danny.
00:49:26And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.
00:49:31You know, you were lightweight.
00:49:46Speak for yourself.
00:49:47Let's go check it back.
00:49:53You need to watch the champagne.
00:49:54Seriously, I don't like it anymore.
00:49:59Oh, Lord.
00:50:00I was so tired.
00:50:02I suddenly feel very sober.
00:50:09Me too.
00:50:09What do you think?
00:50:32I think the stitching's immaculate.
00:50:35But what's it for?
00:50:37This.
00:50:37Yeah.
00:50:39This is your party-crashing uniform.
00:50:42Marco's gonna meet you on the side entrance of the gala.
00:50:46I owe you both my life.
00:50:48I just want to make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she deserves.
00:50:57I'll meet you there.
00:50:58Where are you going?
00:50:59I am breaking Anya Winter out of the hospital.
00:51:03When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house
00:51:05and sent a fraud to the biggest event in fashion history,
00:51:08it's gonna be over for her and Brynn.
00:51:13For everything.
00:51:14I'll meet you there.
00:51:17I'll meet you there.
00:51:25Good luck.
00:51:26We're here at fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala,
00:51:39where everyone who is anyone has gathered in New York City to celebrate the best of fashion.
00:51:46And, oh my god, Solea!
00:51:50Darling, how are you?
00:51:51Oh my god, I am freaking out right now.
00:51:54I mean, this gown!
00:51:57Oh, anyway, best dress of the night, hands down.
00:52:02Now tell me, who made this incredible creation?
00:52:05I'm actually not revealing who made it yet,
00:52:07but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.
00:52:10Cryptid.
00:52:11I love it.
00:52:12Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.
00:52:16You know, that spring collection that you did was just like,
00:52:20whoa, you know?
00:52:22Yeah, I'm kind of like...
00:52:25a genius.
00:52:33Brynn got me a fan from the Met Gala,
00:52:34but I made it in,
00:52:36and soon she'll be exposed for the fraud she is.
00:52:38How did that slut get in here?
00:52:40She's going to ruin everything.
00:52:44Champagne Brynn?
00:52:46You cannot be here.
00:52:48You competed against me to dress Solea,
00:52:50the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala,
00:52:52and you lost.
00:52:54Okay, tonight is my special night,
00:52:55and I cannot have you ruining it.
00:52:57I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.
00:52:59I'm the guest of honor.
00:53:01After all the blood, sweat, and tears
00:53:03I put into making that gown,
00:53:05she stole it from me
00:53:06and dragged my name for the month.
00:53:08Brynn, why are you so obsessed
00:53:09with taking credit for my work?
00:53:11I do not have to answer...
00:53:13Face it, Dani.
00:53:15I have one respect of everyone
00:53:17who matters in the fashion industry.
00:53:19I'm going to be up there,
00:53:20next to Solea on that stage,
00:53:22basking in all your glory.
00:53:24And you?
00:53:25You will still be...
00:53:27a no one.
00:53:29You come in here dressed up like a servant,
00:53:31expecting me to do what?
00:53:32Fall out your feet and go,
00:53:33oh, I'm so sorry, Dani.
00:53:34You are so smart and so talented.
00:53:38Never gonna happen.
00:53:39I am rubbing elbows with the hottest,
00:53:42most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?
00:53:44I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala.
00:53:46And you can't touch me now.
00:53:49And who exactly designed the gown your way?
00:53:55Certainly not you,
00:53:55if that's what you're implying.
00:53:56Do you know how much effort was put
00:54:01into making that spring collection?
00:54:03Do you know how hard those designers worked
00:54:05that you fired to save that show?
00:54:11You think Brynn is the one responsible
00:54:13for saving the day?
00:54:15Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?
00:54:18Have you ever even seen her hold so many?
00:54:20And what have you done to prove yourself?
00:54:22Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?
00:54:23You know, the servant suit really fits you, Dani.
00:54:28I think you, uh, found your true calling.
00:54:31Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself
00:54:33that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?
00:54:36You know, we dated for two years,
00:54:38and I never asked you for a thing.
00:54:40But the minute Vanessa offers you 15 minutes of fame,
00:54:43you drop me without a thought.
00:54:46What will you do once she's used you up
00:54:48and left you in the dust?
00:54:49You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:54:55Yeah.
00:54:56Jealousy is a disease, Dani.
00:54:59Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded
00:55:02doesn't mean you can take it out on us.
00:55:05You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.
00:55:08Are you really so desperate to steal my glory
00:55:10that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?
00:55:13You must be psychotic.
00:55:15Really?
00:55:15And what's the word for stealing another designer's work
00:55:18and using it for clout?
00:55:27Claude.
00:55:29Did you come here to fall at my feet
00:55:31and beg me for a job
00:55:33now that my fashion house
00:55:35officially has the Met Gala partnership
00:55:37and yours?
00:55:39Yours is dead in the water.
00:55:41I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now,
00:55:44don't you?
00:55:44Not as much as you're going to regret
00:55:46putting your daughter in charge.
00:55:48Excuse me?
00:55:51Look.
00:55:53I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.
00:55:57Hmm.
00:55:59But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.
00:56:03There's something you should see.
00:56:04Bitch!
00:56:05My star designer worked her fingers to the bone
00:56:12to make that dress for Saleya.
00:56:13Don't dare try to take credit for her creative genius.
00:56:19Hmm, very soft.
00:56:20But if she worked her fingers to the bone,
00:56:22then wear the calces.
00:56:24Ah!
00:56:24How dare you insult me.
00:56:27Leave.
00:56:27Now.
00:56:28Or what?
00:56:30So entitled.
00:56:32You know,
00:56:32you should be grateful to my mother
00:56:34for even allowing you to step foot
00:56:35into her historic couture house.
00:56:37I never said I wasn't.
00:56:39Your mother is one of the best designers in the world
00:56:42and she took a chance on me.
00:56:43I've always been grateful to her.
00:56:46Grateful?
00:56:47You've tarnished her name and reputation
00:56:49and now you're trying to sabotage
00:56:50the biggest night in the history of this fashion house.
00:56:52Just like you tried to sabotage the spring couture show.
00:57:00I'm the one that saved that collection.
00:57:02Enough!
00:57:10God, you are so embarrassing, Demi.
00:57:13You know, breaking up with you
00:57:14was the best decision that I ever made.
00:57:16You did me the favor, really.
00:57:19Thank you so much for saving me
00:57:21from a lifetime of disappointment.
00:57:22Disappointment.
00:57:25If we're talking disappointment,
00:57:26I think it's you
00:57:26because you're the one covered in champagne.
00:57:31Oh, my God.
00:57:33Is there security around here?
00:57:35This disturbed employee
00:57:36is trying to ruin my couture.
00:57:38And she put her filthy hands on me.
00:57:41So Leia is about to announce Brynn
00:57:43as the designer of her gown
00:57:44and you will not ruin this moment.
00:57:50Get your hands off of her.
00:57:52Vanessa, what the hell have you done
00:57:57with my fashion house?
00:58:02Nothing, Mom.
00:58:03I fired Danny just like you asked.
00:58:04You what?
00:58:06No!
00:58:07I don't understand.
00:58:12It's a mistake.
00:58:13A mistake?
00:58:14A mistake?
00:58:16I...
00:58:16Oh.
00:58:18Oh, my God, Mom.
00:58:19Are you okay?
00:58:21I...
00:58:21I just need a minute.
00:58:23Okay.
00:58:25Anya, are you okay?
00:58:27Oh, Danny.
00:58:28I'm fine.
00:58:30I...
00:58:30There's something
00:58:31I need to say.
00:58:33I can't let that old slut blow my cover.
00:58:35No.
00:58:36She shouldn't speak.
00:58:37She could have another heart attack.
00:58:40Security,
00:58:40get her out of here.
00:58:43I'm okay.
00:58:44I'm fine.
00:58:45Don't cut her.
00:58:46You're making it worse.
00:58:47Don't listen to anything
00:58:47this worthless server has to say.
00:58:49Take my mother somewhere quiet.
00:58:50I'm fine.
00:58:52I'll be right there.
00:58:54Danny!
00:58:56Hey, I said hands off.
00:58:57Unless you want to be cut it off, please.
00:59:00What the hell was that about?
00:59:05I know you've all been anxiously awaiting
00:59:07the reveal of the designer
00:59:08I've chosen to partner with.
00:59:12Bryn Maxwell,
00:59:13will you join me on stage?
00:59:15Oh, my God.
00:59:17She had a poor joke malfunction.
00:59:20Brick.
00:59:21Fuck.
00:59:21Come on.
00:59:22What the fuck happened?
00:59:24I told you not to fuck it up.
00:59:25I don't know.
00:59:26I...
00:59:26I...
00:59:27What are you looking at me for?
00:59:29You're the designer of the dress.
00:59:32She wants to be a star designer,
00:59:33so that...
00:59:33Let's see if she has the skills
00:59:34to throw it off.
00:59:36Someone needs to fix this.
00:59:38Now.
00:59:40Danny, Danny.
00:59:41If that dress flints anymore,
00:59:42this will be a major PR nightmare.
00:59:44I know you can do it.
00:59:46So, please,
00:59:47do you go ahead and fix the dress?
00:59:49Why would I be able
00:59:50to help?
00:59:50I mean, Bryn's
00:59:51the one that designed the dress?
00:59:55Did you fall
00:59:56and smack your little head
00:59:57on the sidewalk?
00:59:58No.
00:59:59Danny is a Nepo baby intern
01:00:00who knows nothing,
01:00:01and Bryn is the creative genius.
01:00:04Remember?
01:00:05Yes, right.
01:00:06Right.
01:00:06I...
01:00:07I totally know what I'm doing.
01:00:10Danny is just a frumpy little
01:00:11service worker
01:00:12who wants to play dress-up.
01:00:14Mm-hmm.
01:00:14Thanks, Danny.
01:00:19I knew you were useless.
01:00:21Thank God Bryn's here.
01:00:23I can do this.
01:00:24How hard can it be
01:00:25to fix a one-of-a-kind
01:00:26couture gown?
01:00:30I put my heart and soul
01:00:31into a dress
01:00:31Soleil will be proud
01:00:32to wear at the Met Gala.
01:00:34And you built
01:00:35your couture house
01:00:35from the ground up
01:00:36and made so many sacrifices
01:00:37to hire me.
01:00:38I can't let Bryn ruin it all.
01:00:43I have to show Soleil
01:00:44what I can do.
01:00:46So go show them
01:00:46who you are.
01:00:48Prove to Soleil
01:00:49that you are the genius
01:00:50behind the dress.
01:00:56Bryn,
01:00:57the seams are delicate.
01:00:58The stitch has to be...
01:00:59Shut up!
01:01:00You're ruining her concentration.
01:01:01Um, might be the girl
01:01:02who was, like,
01:01:03banned from the Met Gala
01:01:04for her life.
01:01:05Yeah, she is.
01:01:06She shouldn't even
01:01:07be here right now.
01:01:08I shouldn't be here?
01:01:09Look at the way
01:01:10Bryn's holding that needle.
01:01:11How much longer
01:01:12can you keep up...
01:01:13Just step aside
01:01:14and let me...
01:01:15Okay, somebody
01:01:18has to call Hannah Summer.
01:01:19The chair of the Gala
01:01:20will know how to handle
01:01:21this dirty little party crasher.
01:01:26What now?
01:01:27We have a security situation.
01:01:29Party crasher on the Gala floor
01:01:30with someone named
01:01:31Danny Maxwell.
01:01:33Danny?
01:01:34Anya Starr designer?
01:01:38I'm fine.
01:01:40I am not some delicate
01:01:41little flower.
01:01:42I had a heart attack,
01:01:43not a lobotomy.
01:01:47Hannah, darling.
01:01:50Anya, I just got word
01:01:52that Danny Maxwell
01:01:53has been banned from the Gala.
01:01:55Your daughter
01:01:55is trying to get her kicked out.
01:01:57What?
01:01:58I said I've got it.
01:02:02Fine.
01:02:02That's the way you want it to be.
01:02:03See?
01:02:09As a true genius
01:02:10behind this dress,
01:02:12I think it's as good
01:02:13as new.
01:02:16Shout out to my
01:02:17hella talented designer,
01:02:18Bryn Maxwell,
01:02:19of Anya Winter Couture,
01:02:20for dressing me tonight.
01:02:21Thanks to her,
01:02:22I've swerved a full-on
01:02:23wardrobe malfunction.
01:02:24All of my hard work
01:02:38ruined by Bryn's ego.
01:02:42What's that?
01:02:43You know,
01:02:44it takes a profound
01:02:44lack of talents
01:02:45to destroy a gown
01:02:46that's so beautiful.
01:02:51Yeah,
01:02:51what kind of
01:02:51shoddy repair job
01:02:52is that?
01:02:52That girl is so
01:02:53not worthy
01:02:54of dressing Soleil.
01:02:55Yes, I am!
01:02:57I'm suing Anya Winters
01:02:59for all your brand is worth.
01:03:00This is all your fault.
01:03:02My fault?

01:03:07and make it relevant
01:03:08by dressing the hottest,

01:03:17like you fired Danny?
01:03:19When all those
01:03:20loser designers
01:03:21got let go,
01:03:21I replaced his staff
01:03:22with my own people.
01:03:24If I go,
01:03:25they go.
01:03:26How long

01:03:27keep its title
01:03:28as number one
01:03:29couture house

01:03:32You won't keep
01:03:33your spot as number one
01:03:33as long as you have
01:03:34a fraud like Brynn
01:03:35as your creative director
01:03:36either.
01:03:39Dude,
01:03:40that girl is totally
01:03:41crashing out right now.
01:03:42I'm calling my lawyers.
01:03:44Brynn,
01:03:45this is all
01:03:46your fault.
01:03:46Okay,
01:03:47if you guys all
01:03:48want someone to blame
01:03:48for this,
01:03:49why did you blame Danny?
01:03:50Okay,
01:03:50I didn't even
01:03:51make that stupid dress.
01:03:52She did.
01:03:57I didn't,
01:03:58I didn't,
01:03:59I didn't mean,
01:04:00I think it's finally
01:04:01time to show them
01:04:02who you really are.
01:04:04Brynn's right.
01:04:05I designed the dress.
01:04:07And
01:04:07I'll prove it.
01:04:08So,
01:04:17Leia,
01:04:17will you meet me on stage?
01:04:19Don't.
01:04:20You shouldn't trust
01:04:21that ugly,
01:04:22lying bitch.
01:04:23I mean,
01:04:23look at her.
01:04:24She's gonna drag down
01:04:25your whole image.
01:04:26Image means nothing
01:04:27without substance,
01:04:29without talent.
01:04:31A true fashion genie
01:04:32should know that.
01:04:32Damn.
01:04:34That's deep.
01:04:36I agree.
01:04:37I'm pretty sure
01:04:38you're the one
01:04:38I shouldn't trust.
01:04:57Danny Maxwell,
01:04:59you were a genius.
01:05:00I've never seen
01:05:04something so stunning.
01:05:05I need her
01:05:06to dress me like that.
01:05:07Wait,
01:05:08this means that
01:05:09I fumbled
01:05:10with super talented
01:05:11daddy?
01:05:12Oh,
01:05:13fuck.
01:05:14It's everything

01:05:44loved.
01:05:45This is what I've
01:05:46been trying to tell you.

01:06:07I didn't fire her.
01:06:09I actually
01:06:10promoted her
01:06:11to creative director.
01:06:12You promoted
01:06:13this deadbeat

01:08:10a thing I put
01:08:11my heart and soul
01:08:11into creating.
01:08:13No, she's exaggerating.
01:08:14That's not what happened.
01:08:15It was Brynn.
01:08:16She was scheming
01:08:17to try to steal
01:08:17Danny's job
01:08:18the whole time.
01:08:19That bitch
01:08:20duped me.
01:08:20It got me all
01:08:21confused.
01:08:22Seriously?
01:08:23Well, that confusion
01:08:24almost cost me
01:08:25my whole fashion career
01:08:26and everything
01:08:26I've worked for.
01:08:28Did it feel good
01:08:29making me take
01:08:29the fall
01:08:30for your stupid mistakes?
01:08:32Danny,
01:08:33I'm so sorry.

01:08:47So please,
