If you have not heard of Anna, let me fill you in briefly, her real name is Anna Sorokin.
Anna portrayed a New York socialite and became an influencer. She posed as a wealthy German heiress to access the elite social scene of NYC between the years 2013–2017.
Brief history on Anna:
Anna was born to working-class soviet parents who emigrated from Russia to Germany in 2007. At one point, she interned for a French fashion magazine Purple; however, that was her only in, in French fashion.
If you have seen the Netflix series on her life, it alludes to she became obsessed with fashion, studied it in magazines, and attended art galleries to learn about fashion and art.
