a closeup of Shelley
from an ad for Maharani, 1975
Shelley appeared in an ad for Maharani in 1975. The ad appeared in the November 1975 issue of Harper's Bazaar. In the ad, she modeled a posh version of the Burnoose (a hooded cloak in either a coarse woolen or embroidered and even tasseled fabric) that had been restyled into a jacket. It was made with "silken threads in opulent shades of red, purple, emerald and gold - and woven in traditionally brilliant Indian patterns." And of course, it came with a hood (which had a gold silken tassel hanging from its crown). It was great to wear over dresses, pants, skirts and even evening gowns for those cold, chilly nights out in the town. And Shelley definitely made it look like fashionable must-have for the season.
