Only she, the queen of scams, could do it Anna Delvey Sorokinto which, due to the incredible story of which she became the protagonist, Netflix even dedicated a highly successful TV series, Inventing Anna. Anyone who has seen it or read the news knows well what this woman is capable of, but for the few who don’t know her, she is a 32-year-old Russian scammer with German citizenship, real surname Sorokinwho rose to the heights of popularity in New York by pretending to be a very rich heiress.
An incredibly true story
Even if she really resembles the screenwriter of a series, it is a true story, which culminated in 2017 with the arrest and in 2019 with a conviction for fraud crimes of four years in prison in the United States, later reduced to two for good behavior and again imprisoned because she did not have a visa, the famous American green card. For about a year, the fake socialite has been serving her sentence in her prestigious New York apartment in the East Village and right from there, given that fashion week is going crazy in the Big Apple, she thought of making a big comeback, organizing a fashion show on the roof of his building.
The Red Carpet on the roof
Obviously not being able to move from home, she has an electronic bracelet on her feet that she branded by putting her initials on it, she asked for help from a very well-known friend of hers in the States, the pr. Kelly Cutrone with which he founded an agency with a name that leaves little to the imagination: OutLaw Agencyliterally “outlaw agency“. The hosted fashion show was by the emerging Chinese designer Shao Yang, a recent graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York. It goes without saying that the media hype probably due more to the organizers than to the stylist, attracted journalists, onlookers and personalities from all over New York, creating quite a stir so much so as to also attract the police who had to intervene both to restore public order by to clear the area, but also to understand whether Delvey had in any way violated the law.
Big ovations for her
Anna welcomed all the guests into her home, making statements, as did her work partner Kelly Cutrone who to the prestigious fashion magazine WWD -Women’s Wear Daily- said: “Anna is a queen of pop culture, she is visionary, sweet and a powerful person” reiterating his decision to continue working with her in the future, with a podcast named The Anna Delvey Show. Delvay then defended herself, again declaring to the same magazine that she is not a false heiress and the story told about her, even that of Netflix, had been a bit fictionalized: “Anyone who takes the trouble to examine my case would understand that this is not the story. I’m just a person trying to figure out how to move forward with life. I’ve made mistakes that have become public knowledge, I just have to deal with them differently than someone who makes them in private.”
A scam genius
Even though the show didn’t end well after the police arrived, it should be noted that Delvey knows very well how to draw attention to herself and how to make it stay. So while even the biggest American and world stars moved to attend the fashion shows, Anna moved the fashion show to her home, knowing full well that even with the arrival of the agents, there would be global coverage of the event. In short, you are a genius, albeit a fraud.
