New York's aristocratic swindler bounces back from prison with a high-society fashion show

Among dozens of catwalks this year at Fashion Week in New York, one of them has become the talk of the town, but not because of their models or costumes, but because of the organizer who was free to present the event with an electronic ankle bracelet.

On the terrace of an apartment building in the exclusive area of ​​the East Village, Anna Sorokin, the famous Russian con artist who has prompted the creation of a film series about her story, seems to have undergone a remarkable transformation recently.

For him, the days of heavy court hearings and gloomy outfits when he was tried for financial fraud of more than $250,000 with exponents of art and aristocracy in New York seem far away.

Now in their place come the stylish clothes, high heels and glamorous make-up, from the former convicted fraudster who claimed to be the German heiress of a multi-million fortune.

Her 'Danger Zone' fashion show is just one of the high-profile business events she's hosted as Sorokin tries to win the right to stay in the US.

"Of course I'm hampered by choices made in the past," Sorokin said in a telephone interview from her apartment, where she is restricted except to meet with parole and immigration officials.

“Po përpiqem të qëndroj e angazhuar sa mundem, por nuk është e thjeshtë.

Kësaj jave mbushej gati një vit që kur Sorokin e lindur në Moskë, bijë e një shoferi rus, u la e lirë me kusht nga burgu i Orange County, New York.

Më parë ajo përdorte emrin e trashëgimtares së rremë Anna Delvey, dhe tani duket se po përdor famën e saj edhe pse negative, për të tërhequr mundësi biznesi, mes të cilave dhe një transmetim në rrjet me aventurat e mashtrimeve, të quajtur “Anna Delvey Show”.

Në transmetimin e saj Sorokin thotë se diskuton me të ftuar të shquar për të kaluarën e saj kriminale si dhe flet për reputacionin e saj të mashtrueses dhe tentativat e rehabilitimit të imazhit.

Gruaja shton se po planifikon një shfaqje arti me krijimet e saj artistike të quajtur në mënyrë provokuese House Arrest, me çmime që variojnë nga 10 000 deri në 30 000 dollarë punimi.

"The works are for what I went through in the past as well as with the experience of being confined to the apartment. It's not that I'm a claustrophobic person, but when you're alone and inside a lot, it can get to your head."
