Rebecca, to tell you the truth, I thought you were finished, done.
Since you haven't shown me any highlights in the last few weeks. . .
Yes...silly thing is, you're looking at the wrong draft.
See, I was already thinking about new concepts for the next collection, and that dress is part of it.
But I still have to think things through.
I want this "Kate" model for the finale and nothing else.
But I have a better one here!
- Rebecca, I want this dress! - You haven't even looked at that one yet!
Yes, cute, like all of your designs, but it lacks the "wow" factor. This one here, has it.
It doesn't go with the rest of the collection!
That's the contrast I'm looking for! That's LCL! And we finally have a wedding dress again!
Rebecca, this draft is going to save your career!
This has to go the the sewing department right away! It has to be ready by tomorrow!
-OK. - You'll take care of the details?
Good!
Too bad that draft is not from me. . .
Here is the catwalk. Rebecca's models come from here, mine from there, and this is an arena.
They meet here and there will be a kind of fight. Your style against mine.
Yes. Sounds good! With boxing gloves or something?
Yeah. Why not.
We could play with the make-up. Cuts, some blood on their faces. What do you think?
Rebecca?
Yes!
Would you mind participating a bit more in this conversation? I mean you're a bit concerned in all this.
I helped develop this staging. Should I underline every sentence he utters?
OK, just to make things clear :
I've invited everyone from the fashion world two weeks before the beginning of the fashion week. You know what that means :
I want the specialised press to be pleased tomorrow and people to line up in front of the store in two days.
Otherwise, I could almost think that maybe I have the wrong designer in chief!
I hope this inspires you.
What's wrong?
Nothing!
You're not protesting. You're not saying anything. Stress with the final dress?
Nope, everything is as planned!
- So you're happy? - Why do you ask?
It's like you're not even here!
You're probably still thinking about your drafts.
No! My draft has already gone into production.
Good!
Kate is a friend of mine and is currently doing her final examination in fashion design, and
she would be very happy if you could give her a feedback on her portfolio!
- Sure, no problem! - Thanks!
Brave girl!
Why?
Because you're not behind her back controlling every single stich she makes of your masterpiece!
That's the one, isn't it?
You didn't tell me that it was going to be a wedding dress!
You're exhausted aren't you?
But isn't it kind of a nice feeling? You gave all you could, you feel pressed like a lemon, but you're also totally relieved!
Marlene. . . Marlene, my drawing was a complete failure.
The first one perhaps, but in less then three hours, you made another one that had Tanja all excited!
And I'm also proud of you! You're unbelievable!
And what if you're wrong?
What if everything you see in me is a lie?
Maybe I can't do anything except deceiving the others.
What has brought this on?
Back when you were singing, weren't you ever scared that people could think that you were fake and then see you in a different way?
Of course. That's why I went on stage sick and ruined my career. Just because I didn't want to disappoint my audience.
But you're different. You're a lot more sure of yourself, more confident. You know yourself and your limits.
What if don't?
Then you would have never pulled out such a wonderful dress of your hat.
And now I'm taking you home, you need some rest.
- Where's your jacket? - I'll get it!
- Morning! - Good God, you look awful!
I had a bad night.
You'll need a complete makeover before I let you go out in public!
Well, even on her worst day, Rebecca will never look as run down as you do even on your best day.
But maybe YOU should think about that makeover.
Mhm. Tanja thinks that your final dress is the best dress LCL has ever presented.
So, relax, and enjoy the show!
I'm so proud of you! And I'm going with you!
- Where? - To LCL, of course! I want to see that dress of yours!
- That's not possible. - Why not? Everyone will see it tonight!
You're just nervous because you think people won't like it. But that's silly, you shouldn't be!
- You know, it's still being sewed, and. . . -. . . doesn't matter if it's not ready, please, I'm so excited. . .
. . . and curious!
- Hi Kim! How is everything going? - Good!
Thank you princess, I knew you'd help me!
What? No, I wasn't talking to you!
I'm so excited!
Yeah. . .Marlene, I . . .
. . .I have to tell you something. . .
Sure, what is it?
- The final dress was a complete disaster yesterday, and . . . - Rebecca? I've seen the dress. Fantastic! It's great!
Thank you!
What I wanted to say is, . . .
. . .you know how Tanja put me under pressure, and. . .
. . . she hated my first draft.
- And when I wanted to show her the second one, . . . - Rebecca!
The final dress is ready. I just wanted to quickly show it to you!
- What is this? - The final dress. . .
- This is from one of Kate's drafts. - I know. That's what I was about to tell you.
So? Do you like it?
Kate's portfolio was lying on my desk, and Tanja just jumped on the draft. She immediately fell in love with it!
I've tried to talk her out of it, I've shown her my draft, but it was too late! Do you understand?
- And then you just pretended Kate's draft was yours. - What else could I have done?
- How about telling her the truth? - Not so loud!!!
OK. You were scared of Tanja's reaction. That I can understand.
You've missed the right moment, that can happen as well.
But now you have to tell her the truth, Rebecca. Otherwise it would be plagiarism!
I don't have to explain this to YOU! I mean what would you say if someone would steal one of your drafts and pretend it's theirs?
- Tanja is going to kill me! She'll fire me and my career will end! - Wrong!
Your career will definitely end if you don't pull the breaks straight away!
Marlene, it's the final dress! And we don't have a backup dress!
You know how hard I've worked! Not just during these last days, but to come so far!
Rebecca! You can't do this!
That's right! I just wanted to check out my office! I do get my own one as designer in chief, right?
We've enlarged our creative team with Rebecca von Lahnstein, who just got back from New York!
A huge applause for our wonderful designer, Rebecca von Lahnstein!
I have to get the dress ready for transport now. . .
Or. . . do you want some changes to be done?
No.
