Beat the Weather 5

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 Chestwarmer," a backless vest with kangaroo pockets that was hand-crocheted in bulky wool, designed by Carol Hasselriis for The Celebrated Pork Pie Establishment. It was great to wear under button-less coverings like capes, wrap coats, etc. Of course, Shelley looked super chic and sensational in it.
