Hey, hottie!
These designs are awesome!
I have to present them on the catwalk - no matter how.
Yes! Yes, I'll be home immediately.... just give me half an hour.
If you don't hurry up I have to ask someone else.
What does that mean?
= Hey, listen, after all this sport my muscles are quite tensed. A massage is urgently needed. = Just you wait, little beast!
What did you think?... You know what? I will run us a bath and then we gonna see who massages whom.
= I'm on my way! = Bye!
= Take this, you need extra vitamins now. = Yum yum!
= What? = Where's the coffee, you hopefully brought with you from outside?
= Too much caffeine is unhealthy and only makes you tired, at a certain level. = Don't do this to me, please!
= On the other hand, today is a bad day to go cold turkey on coffee. = Ohhh! Thank God!
Cause I am not in the mood for joking!
= But you finished the dress for the finish of the show? = Yes, I already did it some time ago.
For the new sewer it's gonna be her baptism of fire.
= She's gonna ask herself where she ended up here, as well. = Come on! Show me!
Nicole irons out the dress right now. I hope that Tanja will like it!
Nevertheless, I wouldn't be able to create a new one till the show.
I mean, she really had enough time to approve my design. But she put me off from day to day.
Cause she puts confidence in you. Your design skills are truely great, I know it and she knows it too.
Apparently only you don't know it.
Well, you know this feeling, there's always residual doubt before a premiere.
I know that you don't have time, actually but maybe you get round to...
Kate is a friend of mine and currently she's doing her final examination in fashion design and she would be very happy if you gave feedback to her portfolio.
= Yes, sure! No problem. = Thank you.
= Hi Marlene! = Hey, little one!
I should tell you that Tanja wants to see the dress for the finish of the show now.
= Show her what you've got, baby! = Yeah.
Well? What's your opinion?
Where's the real dress?
Ah!...Good joke!
This dress is a joke!
It's even not glamorous enough for a "sit around party" at old people's home.
Is THIS gonna be your dress for the finish?
The crowning finish of the most important fashion show since the founding of the company?!
I think it's gonna be the perfect final chord!
Because it will show LCL's recognisable reliability, despite of all investments we did concerning our main clientele.
And because of the recognition value... you just copied your latest collection?
Rebecca, we have invited everybody who is anybody in fashion industry, 3 weeks before the beginning of the official fashion week to take the top spot away from our competitors...
and you got no more ideas to present?!
That's almost refusal to work!
Then you should have taken time to look at my design, earlier, but you put me off from day to day, instead!
I thought I had a head designer who's managing everything without me controlling every single step!
Juri is gonna out-compete us!
Do you have any idea of the situation you have brought me into?
I want to have a new dress!
What?!...The fashion show will take place in two days, I don't know how to do this!
In 3 hours...I will have your design on this desktop! Otherwise, you will have to look for a new job! DID YOU GET IT?!
Take your dress!
Kiss my ass!
Another female person is responsible for doing it!
Tanja is insane! You know, for weeks she hasn't cared a rat-fuck about this dress! And now, two days before the show, she throws everything into disarray!
How shall I do this, conjure a new dress from a hat?
You gonna do what you're doing every day: think, sit down and then you gonna create something that will overwhelm everybody, something unique!
Yeah, maybe in the past I was able to do it that way but at the present time I don't have that little something extra, as you heard just now...
Rebecca, stop it! Don't attach too much importance to this single failure!
Do you know what's the worst?
Since Juri has been arrived...I've been afraid of this moment... that someone will see my sketches.... and they aren't good enough anymore.
Yet, only Tanja said this.
Yes, but she is right! This dress should have been the best I've ever made but it isn't....
And Juri, it just comes to him! This guy is constantly taking a break, is deeply relaxed and then he drops by and makes a new sketch...
Rebecca, forget Juri!
= But since he has started work here I know how bad I am! = That's not true, not at all!
You, you feel at a loss and you're demotivated, yes!
It's difficult to take criticism.
But try to see the positive side, the true core of this criticism and with it you will continue.
Since Juri has become the young wild designer you have to focus more on the classical elegance, I mean you had to completely reinvent yourself, give yourself a little more time.
= There are exactly 3 hours left. = And you will make it! I know it!
Please try not to lose your nerves! Okay?
Okay.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
= Wish me luck! = I'll do!
But you have a talent, that's much more important! Please, don't forget! Okay?
Thank you.
Bloody hell!
Trust.
You're good, Rebecca.
But you want too much.
Listen! In 2 1/2 hours I have to present a new sketch and I have to outdo myself with this design.
And yes, I want it all at once, and no, I don't want to talk about it, okay?!
Trust in yourself.
Hey, what do you want from me?
I want to help you.
We are one team.
I want the show to become great.
Then let me continue working. The success of the show depends on this design.
Rebecca, let go of it!
We still have no dress for the finish!
= Shall I spell it? = Relax!
We have one!
If you don't make it we gonna take mine!
You called me?
Yes...we had a dress: strapless, silk, royal blue. It's been a while ago...
Hmm...for what do you need it?
Don't ask! Help me searching!
Did you hear already that Jessica won't be able to walk on the catwalk the day after tomorrow?
= What? = Yeah, she fell down the stairs at full pelt! It must have been a real stunt.
Really? And you think that's funny?
Nope, of course not! But to be honest that's typical for her.
Well, so much hasn't happened. The broken toe she had already before...
Kim! You're telling me this as cool as you please. You're my assistant! It's your job to call someone to replace her, immediately.
I didn't know what kind of type you would like to have instead of her.
Similar type, same size!
Come on! Take Jessica's folder lying on her desktop, I want to have 5 proposals in 1 hour!
So, it's true?
Tanja disliked your design for the finish of the fashion show?
Yes, it's a complete failure.
She wants me to make a new design... but I won't manage to do it.
I'm sorry...but I have to get on with work.
Are you sure?
Don't you get it? If I don't make it, it's gonna be Juri's turn. He has an ace up his sleeve, he already told me.
If I don't make it I'll be out of the picture!
My whole career depends on this design!
Now I will continue and try to block everything out!
Mobile phone display: "Tanja von Lahnstein is calling"
Yes.
Why didn't you reply earlier?
Because I'm having other problems right now?!
Have you looked at your watch? I'm in my office and you're not! Why not?
I need time! It's not that simple.
= If it were simple Rebecca, you would be overpaid. = I'm working on it! It's a creative process.
So...you gonna have a break now!
Why didn't I do this earlier?
= I ask myself too. = I feel free now.
There is nothing better than the right amount of adrenaline, am I right?
= Thank you, big brother! = Yes.
= I'm sorry, I didn't get anything else. = No problem! It's okay!
I know that hot dogs remind you of Tanja and your wedding proposal.
Maybe it's time that I'll start to associate with it something else, a trip with my little sister for example.
That's what family is for!
= I miss dad...and Hagen too. = Me too!
And I'm sure, Hagen would punch Juri in the face for making you so much trouble.
Actually, Juri is not the problem, it's me.
In two days the most important show of my career, yet, is gonna take place...
the future of our company depends on it, for the first time with two designers and two fashion lines, and all of a sudden I can't endure the pressure anymore.
What do you ask of yourself?
= Being a little nervous, that's normal. = I'm not nervous, I have a complete blackout. I call into question everything I do!
It's not you who's calling everything into question, you think everbody else is doing it, that's the problem.
You're self-critical enough.
You don't need additional criticism, from this Juri for example.
How to stop it?
I think you have to see things with my eyes.
Do you know what I think when I see your work results?
= Hm? = I think, it's MY little sister who did it!
The same little sister who knew exactly which clothes you had to wear to look mega cool, then.
And now she's presenting her fashion on the catwalks around the world and everybody wants to have it!
Do you really think so?
Everyone thinks so...or why do you think people are spending a lot of money to wear LCL?
And Tanja does think so, too.
Don't let yourself be clobbered by her.
She only loves the feeling of having power over you.
Don't let yourself be controlled by her.
Thank you.
Anyway, I'm relieved that Juri is not the real problem.
Don't worry, I wouldn't have asked you to punch him in the face.
= I would have done it for you! = I know!
= Are you gonna have a date with your lover tonight? - Yes, I'm so excited, I'm looking forward to it = What was his name?
Kim! Wait a minute, please!
The matter with the new model... Jessica undertook it as quick as greased lightning.
Yes! But that's exactly the way everything has to work! She found the perfect surrogate model and we already got a positive answer.
I'll expect this from you, next time.
And now get the fabrics from the stock with the matching yarn, pronto!
- Yes! = And in the future I want you to do your job without further request!
Sure!...Do you want to have something else? Water, coffee or....
No, only the fabrics I asked you for!
Yes!
Perfect!
= Hey! = Are you ready?
Just finished.
= So you didn't show the sketch Tanja, yet? = No, but it turned out super, she's gonna love it!
Hey, you made it! Now relax and think of something else till Tanja will have time to look at it..
= I'll call you as soon as I know more, okay? Bye! = Okay, till later then. Bye!
Rebecca, why didn't your first design look like this?!
= You mean, you like it? = Absolutely!
It's even a wedding dress!
This dress has something very special, it represents style and elegance of a classic LCL design.
You even gave a name to the dress! Hm? "Kate"
= Kate is a friend of mine, she would be very happy if you gave feedback to her portfolio. = Sure, no problem! - Thanks.
You made it, Rebecca! THIS is gonna be our dress!
