Anna Delvey organizes a parade from house arrest

Organize a parade under house arrest? Who could have attempted this madness if not the very clever, and we would dare say rather brilliant, Anna Sorokin, better known as Anna Delvey. We all remember her for inspiring the Netflix series Inventing Anna, that is, the Russian scammer who stole for years the crème de la crème New Yorker, posing as an heiress.

After a period in prison, the most VIP of the bandits since last autumn he is serving the end of his sentence under house arrest in an apartment in New York’s East Village. A limit to his desire for success? Definitely no. Although she is still relegated to the four walls of her home, she managed to turn the spotlight on herself during New York Fashion Week with a stroke of spartan genius, far from glamour and sequins, but undoubtedly effective.

In fact, for a few months now the outlaw diva has started a collaboration with the matron of American fashion PR, Kelly Cutrone. And the result was none other than the birth of the OutLaw talent agency (everything goes). Among the first achievements of the unstoppable duo we find the production of the young designer’s debut collection Shao Yang, but if poor Anna can’t leave her apartment, where to present the show? Simple, everyone at his house!

That Anna Delvey never stops (re)inventing herself is now a fact, between interviews, podcasts and photo shoots. But with this move she can only reconfirm her innate and disproportionate cunning. From the series: if Anna doesn’t go to the parade, the parade goes to Anna.

About the collection, strictly genderlesson the non-open-air walkway we find bustier in leather, denim vests, asymmetrical skirts, fluid silhouettes nuances neutrals of black, white and grey, which nod to Yang’s love for the ’80s and her Brooklyn roots. All set in an almost poetic atmosphere, sublimated by neon lights, rain and champagne.

Needless to say, however much of the attention was not so much focused on the leaders, but on the event itself and his godmother. A magnet for her beloved flashes. For the occasion, Delvey appears radiant in a ensemble total black designed by Shao, composed of split trousers, satin corset and jeweled blazer, welcoming around fifty highly selected professionals, including journalists and models, on the roof of his prison apartment. Who, inebriated by the electric air and beyond any divine grace, remained at the event even after the designer’s customary bow at the end of the fashion show. Until the police arrived and were asked to clear the area. In short, the perfect grand finale for the launch ofoutlaw chic by Yang, Delvey and Cutrone. First page objective achieved. Chapeau!
