With her blotted red lipstick, perky coiffed curls and fitted 1940s skirt suit, Constanze Pelzer looks like she’s stepped off a World War II film set.
From head to toe, the 49-year-old German is the picture of 1940s elegance – from the little glasses and striking jewellery to her red sling-backs, her entire outfit is authentic. But it isn’t a costume. Despite bringing to mind a painful chapter of German history, Pelzer admires 1940s fashion so much that she wears originals from the era every day and is not alone in her sartorial dedication.
