Erin Miller exits the Walker Group and launches her own brand after Alex Walker publicly attacks her mother.
Episode 1–8English
Erin Miller spent five years creating the collections that sustained the Walker Group while her husband, heir Alex Walker, remained emotionally distant. During a lavish family celebration, Erin toasted her single mother, Mary, prompting Alex to strike Mary six times and force a public apology. The assault revealed that Alex controlled Erin by terrorizing the person she loved most.
Erin filed for divorce, reclaimed the twenty-seven design licenses held in her name, and resigned, causing the Walker Group's MUSE collection to collapse. With lawyer Claire's help, she founded the MARIN label and secured a fifty-million-dollar investment from Julia of the Jinhe Group. Meanwhile, Julia's cousin Sofia infiltrated the Walker Group, sabotaged production with substandard fabric, and challenged Erin to a decisive fashion show vote.
