Fittingly, our conversation unfolds at Early Terrible, the last “terrible” left in New York City, at least by name.

Anna Delvey’s name has been synonymous with controversy, but beyond the viral soundbites lies a person determined to reshape the narrative. People love a villain. But what happens when the story gets more complicated? That complexity is what she’s embracing now, trading tabloid sensationalism for a more thoughtful approach to her public persona. From art projects to new business ventures, Anna is carefully curating her next move, proving that reinvention isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. This city is full of people who have reinvented themselves. Why should I be any different? Her story has been told and retold through countless lenses, yet few have paused to consider the nuances. Yes, there was ambition. Yes, there was audacity. But beyond the headlines was a young woman navigating a world that rewards boldness and punishes missteps with equal intensity. This exclusive feature, produced by Gina Kim-Park and brought to life through the lens of renowned photographer and director Reinhardt Kenneth, captures Anna not as a character in someone else’s script, but as the architect of her own future. The visuals are striking, layered with symbolism, an interplay of light and shadow, presence and absence, past and possibility. The art of reinvention is about control. It’s about deciding what version of yourself you put into the world. A master of reinvention and a symbol of intrigue, embodiment of a modern Phoenix Anna Delvey has captivated the world with her audacity, resilience, and unyielding vision. As she steps into a new chapter, she opens up about her past, her future, and the truth behind the persona that made her a global fascination.

1. You’ve been portrayed in countless ways, from various headlines to Netflix. If you had the opportunity to introduce yourself to the world today, how would you describe the real Anna Delvey? The real Anna Delvey is someone who refuses to be defined by the narratives of others. I’m an artist, an entrepreneur, and a visionary. People love to focus on the past, but I’m far more interested in the future—what I can create, what I can build, and how I can redefine my own story on my own terms.
2. You’ve always been conscious of the power of style and presentation. How do you see fashion as a form of storytelling in your life? Fashion has always been about self-expression and control over perception. It’s a language, a way to curate how the world sees you before you even say a word. I’ve always used it as a tool—not just to impress, but to manifest a certain energy, a presence. Whether it’s courtroom chic or avant-garde street style, every outfit tells a story.
3. Art has played a pivotal role in your journey. What does art mean to you today, and how do you plan to integrate it into your future endeavors? Art is power. It’s the ultimate form of freedom—being able to create something out of nothing and have it mean something. Today, my art is about reclaiming my narrative. I’ve been working on pieces that blend satire, social commentary, and personal experience, and I see it evolving into larger projects—curation, collaborations, maybe even my own gallery concept.
4. Fashion and art have always been an integral part of how you present yourself. How do do you see your relationship with fashion and art evolving in the future? They will always be intertwined. I see my style evolving into something more deliberate, something that plays with status, power, and expectation. And in art, I want to push boundaries — whether that’s through exhibitions, collaborations, or even wearable art. The intersection of fashion, art, and identity is where I thrive.
5. Your original vision for the Anna Delvey Foundation was groundbreaking. Do you see yourself revisiting that concept, or are there new projects you’re more excited about? The core idea of ADF—creating a space that merges art, culture, and exclusivity—was always ahead of its time. And while I’m not necessarily trying to revive that exact concept, I am working on projects that explore those themes. Think curated experiences, art-driven events, and digital initiatives that redefine what exclusivity means in the modern age.
6. Your story is one of reinvention. What keeps you motivated to pursue your goals, and how do you maintain focus in challenging times? I don’t have the luxury of stopping. Reinvention isn’t optional—it’s survival. What keeps me going is the knowledge that I am in control of my own story. And when things get difficult, I remind myself that no one successful has had an easy path. It’s about being strategic, staying creative, and always thinking five steps ahead.
7. If you could collaborate with a designer or artist to create something meaningful, who would it be, and what would the collaboration look like? I’d love to collaborate with someone who understands subversion. Something that plays with the concept of power dressing and status symbols. In the art world, I could see a collaboration with someone like Damien Hirst or Banksy—something that blends controversy, commentary, and exclusivity.
8. What message would you share with people who are chasing big dreams but facing their own struggles? No one is going to give you permission to succeed—you have to take it. People will doubt you, criticize you, and try to reduce you to their version of who they think you should be. Ignore them. Keep moving, keep evolving, and never let anyone else dictate your worth.
9. As you move forward, what are your biggest hopes and aspirations for the next phase of your life and career? I want to build something lasting—whether that’s in art, fashion, media, or a combination of all three. I’m interested in projects that challenge perception and redefine what it means to have influence. My goal isn’t just to be relevant—it’s to be iconic.
10. You’ve made a mark on culture in many ways. How do you want to be remembered in the context of art, fashion, and creativity? As someone who refused to be put in a box. As someone who turned obstacles into opportunities and used creativity as a weapon. I want my egacy to be about challenging the norm, making people question what’s real, and proving that reinvention is an art form in itself.

11. How does creativity continue to shape your vision for the future? Creativity is everything—it’s my leverage, my escape, and my power. Whether it’s through art, fashion, or storytelling, it’s what allows me to take control of my own narrative. And as long as I have that, I’ll always be creating something new. For Anna, the future is unwritten, but intentionally so. There’s talk of creative ventures, ongoing projects, and an evolving public image that leans less on controversy and more on substance. The lesson? Reinvention isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about building upon it. And as she leaves Early Terrible, stepping back into the city that once made and unmade her, one thing is clear: Anna Delvey isn’t disappearing. She’s just getting started. But who truly knows Anna Delvey? A mystery, a muse, a woman forever walking the fine line between reinvention and reality. Perhaps she is not defined by the past, nor by the stories told about her, but by the next chapter she has yet to write.
