Exclusive | Anna Delvey free to return to Manhattan life, will produce New York Fashion Week shows
She ain’t fake anymore.
The real Anna Delvey is on the loose, and legal, in Manhattan for the very first time, Page Six has learned.
Last time she was on the streets of NYC, Delvey was trying to scam unsuspecting businesses into investing in her grand plans and fund her lavish lifestyle.
But she’s served her time and she’s hitting the town as a legit PR exec setting out to found a media empire.
The former “Fake Heiress” has been under house arrest since October 2022 after she was released from prison.
Now we’re told a judge has made her free to roam the city — just in time to work her first New York Fashion Week as a fully accredited member of the US work force.
As we’ve previously reported, Delvey — who was born in the USSR as Anna Sorokin, before moving to Germany at 16 — set up a “pop up” PR agency this time last year with industry legend Kelly Cutrone while she was confined to her East Village apartment.
We’re told she’s since moved into Cutrone’s upstate home.
Now sources say Delvey has been issued with a Social Security number, so she can officially and legally work — so the OutLaw agency is now a fully functioning business. Which, we guess, means that fraudster Anna Sorokin has now become fashion pro Anna Delvey. How’s that for Manhattan magic?
OutLaw and Cutrone’s own firm, People’s Revolution, are taking out their own space in the Altman Building in Chelsea for fashion week, where they’ll produce shows for a number of clients.
The space, sponsored by Pornhub, will host runway shows for labels including Private Policy, Untitled&Co. and Shao New York. (Delvey famously hosted Shao’s show on her roof last year as OutLaw’s first project).
Delvey is technically still under house arrest, but she’s now allowed to move freely within 75 miles of her home.
She was dubbed the “Fake Heiress” after she posed as a German aristocrat to bilk businesses including luxury hotels out of more than $250,000 between 2013 and 2017.
She also hatched an ambitious plan to found a private members club and high-end shopping destination.
Delvey was arrested in 2017 and spent two years in prison. Upon release she was put into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, then later released into house arrest.
She was also the inspiration for Netflix show “Inventing Anna.”
As we reported last week, a judge also allowed her to return to social media after a ban.
