1940’s time warp: New parents live the lifestyle of the forties

Kitten Von Mew’s obsession with the 1940s has taken over every aspect of her life, including her home, her wardrobe and even her pregnancy. The spirited mum-to-be and her equally enthusiastic husband Richard have spent thousands kitting out their home with authentic 30s and 40s furniture to create a whimsical time-warp. Kitten, who performs as a burlesque dancer and 40s-style singer, has a wardrobe bursting with over 100 vintage outfits and 100 pairs of retro shoes – along with countless vintage hats, gloves and accessories.
