Fake German heiress Anna Delvey captured audiences with her extraordinary tale of deception in Netflix's Inventing Anna series, and now she is capturing the attention of the fashion set.
New York Fashion Week is now well underway, with tastemakers having flocked to the Big Apple for a week filled with cutting-edge creations.
Alongside celebrities, supermodels and street style stars, the crafty fraudster was also in attendance, refusing to let a small detail like house arrest rain on her fashion parade.
Yep – you read that right. Following her release from custody, Anna is still actually confined to the realms of her East Village apartment.
Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and think outside the box, right?

About 50 people attended the event, aptly centred around the theme of 'outlaws', and models graced the miniscule catwalk in contrastingly topstitched denim separates, sharp tailoring and boned corset-shirt hybrids.

Who is Anna Delvey?
© GettyTo refresh your memory, Anna Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, is a con artist who posed as a wealthy heiress and scammed her way into New York high society.
The fraudster was arrested in 2017 and served nearly four years in prison for a cocktail of offences back in 2019 – some of which included grand larceny in the second degree, attempted grand larceny and theft of services.
She was released early from prison in 2022 on good behaviour, and while she is no longer in custody, she lives under house arrest in her East Village apartment.
