From her home where she is serving her sentence, electronic bracelet on her ankle, the scammer portrayed in the Netflix series Inventing Anna orchestrated a resounding presentation for the new brand Shao this Monday, September 11.
Anna Sorokin turned her trial into a grand parade, and her electronic bracelet into a fashion accessory. So when the notorious con artist plays hostess at New York Fashion Week, this new role is something to smile about. This Monday, September 11, the 32-year-old Russian native hosted at her home the first fashion show by designer Shao Yang (also founder of The Tailory), who was launching her label “Shao” on this occasion. Still serving her house arrest sentence, the woman who calls herself Anna Delvey found a way to respect the law by organizing the event on the roof of her home in the East Village neighborhood. And to attract crowds and media attention.
Star scammer
It must be said that Anna Sorokin knows how to do it. She posed for years as a rich German heiress named Anna Delvey, defrauding everyone in New York, before becoming a celebrity followed by 1 million subscribers on Instagram. Found guilty of aggravated theft on April 25, 2019, she was fined $24,000 and ordered to pay $199,000 in damages. A crazy story highlighted by Netflix through the series Inventing Anna from February 2022, and which made him a world-famous personality. After spending four years in prison, she was finally released on bail on October 5 and placed under house arrest.

The Hors la loi agency
Then comes Kelly Cutrone. A successful press officer with her agency People’s Revolution, the 57-year-old American was presented by Anna Sorokin as one of the reasons for her arrival in New York in an episode of the podcast Call Her Daddy. The compliment does not fall on deaf ears, relates Kelly Cutrone in an interview with Interview Magazine . The idea of an association then germinates in the mind of the press officer, who is working on the launch of her client Shao Yang’s label. A short-lived agency was then born that Kelly Cutrone and Anna Sorokin mischievously named Outlawor “Outside the law”.
At the center of all attention on this fourth day of Fashion Week, the show kept its promises. At New York Post, Anna -Delvey- Sorokin confides her joy at “finally channeling all the attention she receives to help someone else”. It remains to be seen whether the crowd came to admire his electronic bracelet or Shao Yang’s slender costumes. The day after the parade, the young brand’s Instagram account has barely 129 subscribers.
