Beat the Weather 4

Shelley in a spread for Vogue, 1976

Shelley appeared in many magazines during her Supermodel days. On of them was Vogue. In October 1976, She appeared in a spread for the mag called "Everything You Need To Know To Beat the Weather" which featured fashions that were perfect for the cold weather. "You don't always need a heavy coat" was the mags suggestion - an insulating layer could give warmth and more flexibility. Shelley wore "The Foul Weather Suit", an all weather suit that provided the ultimate protection - resisting rain, wind, everything. It was made up of a hooded pullover top and a pair of pull-on pants, both in rubber-coated nylon with welded seams to prevent leakage. it could be worn over any outfit (Shelley wore hers with a stylish sweater and pants set) for that chic up-to-date look. Of course, Shelley looked super chic and sensational in it.
