Recently, during the Spring Festival holiday, I watched Netflix dramas at home, and in addition to the "Tinder" drama, I also launched a new drama "Inventing Anna". This is a new drama adapted from the german pseudonyms in New York, first briefly introduce the story of "Create Anna": a russian born in Russia, immigrated to Germany at the age of 16, then went to St. Martin in London to study fashion, dropped out of school to paris "Purple" internship, in 2013 transferred to New York mixed fashion circle of 20s woman Anna Delvey (later called herself Anna Delvey), began a variety of stealing activities, falsely claiming that she owned 6,000 A wealthy German woman at the €10,000 trust fund tried to secure a $22 million loan from the bank to raise money for the foundation of her name.
Although there are also fictional drama elements in this play, but a woman with no education, no wealth, and false claiming to be the second generation of German aristocrats and riches, she really deceived New York celebrities, art, fashion circles and financial circles, and is now about to be released from prison, and it is updated social media to promote "Anna 2.0", entered the bureau in New York, was repatriated, and was obviously a "female liar" but used this resume to add points to herself, and became like a TINDER male liar, inexplicably sought after the top stream.
So, how did Anna manage to blind the new York upper class and deceive the fashion industry? Is her deception too clever, or is the fashion industry particularly stupid?
This article will explore the high-end dress of female cheaters, after all, she really succeeded in pretending to be a rich woman to deceive the elite of New York.
For four years, she deceived the elite of Manhattan with her gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes, and used fake bank accounts and credit cards to deceive hotels, banks and people around her to make herself look richer. Eventually, she was arrested in 2017. During the interrogation, she still sought out stylists to borrow designers to wear them. After the reporter Jessica Pressler went to the prison to interview Anna, the story was made public and made into a drama called "Creating Anna".
Anna Delvey is not clever, but people are superficial You may ask: How can Anna Delvey trick many of New York's fashion art finance elite into paying for her hotels and designer brands? Then you are really taking human intelligence too high. In the world of fashion art fame, it is generally a superficial community, they may have very high education and a lot of work experience, but the nature of snobbish eyes makes them blind to many obvious problems, because all they see is money and fame.
Not convinced? A few years ago, the author bought a few items in a certain brand that only loyal fans would be interested in (in fact, the total is only 10,000 yuan, but the average person will not buy it), and was thought by Sales to be invited by the big guy to open a VIP party in the new store, and also got a gift that she originally wanted to buy - she may have thought that I would buy a complete set of 100,000 looks to give me a gift, I did not deliberately deceive her, but she was eager to get customers, and she was also blinded by the illusion of fashion!
Crimes are committed by exploiting the greedy and loving character of the rich
One of Anna Delvey's many deceptive stories is the one that Anna Delvey "entertained" friends on a trip to Marrake, Morocco, in 2017, including Vanity Fair's photo editor Rachel DeLoache Williams. They checked into Riad, a private garden in La Mamounia, a five-star hotel that costs $7,000 a night, but the hotel said it could not exceed the credit card Anna provided, and Anna persuaded her friend Rachel to pay for it for the time being and soon send the money to pay it back. On the rest of the trip, Rachel continued to spend money on the trip — after all, Rachel was willing to do so, just because he thought that if he pleased the rich woman in front of him, he would get more benefits in the future. Of course, Rachel didn't end up receiving the money transfer and was fired from Vanity Fair for debt.
All along, the front desk of other hotels (such as 11 Howard) let Anna check in without receiving a valid credit card, probably for her glamorous line of work - the hotel clerk thought: "So the rich look, can't it be fake?" Isn't it more troublesome to offend the second generation of the rich?! ”
Sorry, at this time, please forgive the author for moving out of the old land and Ms. Yishu's golden sentence: "It's not as good as it is true, and it is probably not true." "In addition to male deceivers like Simon Leviev, there is also Anna Delvey, and God never sexisms against the deceivers who create the world.
In episode 2 of the series, the heroine (played by Julia Garner) travels to Ibiza to spend a few days aboard a friend's yacht. Wearing a red Alexander McQueen dress with a flowing hem, a silk scarf tied around her head, huge sunglasses, and a Dior handbag embroidered with her name on it, she came to the huge yacht. Anna Delvey illustrates that you can use the money you've swindled to buy an image that's easier to convince people that you're rich. Note that Anna's goal is far from just cheating a few nights at a five-star hotel, but a $22 million fund, so it's important to dress up as a modern version of Peggy Guggenheim.
Another fashion element of "Create Anna" is that during Anna Delvey's appearance in April 2019, she used the court appearance as a fashion show, inviting clients including Madonna and Courtney Love's stylist Anastasia Walker (@neoncomplex) to change her designer clothes every day. In the series, costume designer Lyn Paolo dresses the heroine in brands from Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, Givenchy, Prada, Gucci, Valentino and Celine, and even follows Anna's clothes (Chanel flats) when she was arrested.
Obviously it has failed, why does Anna still insist on fashion? Who else is she trying to fool? At this moment, she is not going to cheat, but to continue to be dramatic, even going to court dressed like a finch, and I do believe that Anna is a person who knows very well, knows the dark, superficial side of "fashion" - Anna herself sold the adaptation rights, used the money to support the lawyer's fees, and used the balance to buy clothes at Net-a-Porter, and is still detained by the authorities.
