Three Skirts

Shelley was one of the most visible Supermodels in the 1970s. She appeared on the covers and pages of many major magazines around the world. In 1971, Shelley appeared on the pages of the November 12 issue of Brigitte Mit Constanze, a German women's magazine which featured fashions, home styles and health. In the section called "Brigittes Schneller Schnitt" (Brigitte's Quick Cut), she modeled "Drei Rocke: gemustert, gewickelt, watteiert" (Three Skirts: Patterned, Wrapped, Padded). She modeled wrap skirts that could be sewn by readers themselves and were appropriate for the cold weather (hence, the padding). She wore one skirt with a shirt under a tank-top-style sweater. She accessorized her outfit with two belts and a fun brooch. And, as always, Shelley looked smart, up-to-date and fabulous.
