The New Denim Look 4

Instruction Leaflet no. 111, 1972

Shelley appeared on many leaflets, booklets and brochures for various fashion companies during her tenure as Supermodel in the 1970s. One of them was for the Malina's New Denim Look leaflets. The leaflets promoted the Malina Denim Look yarn line (which was an acrylic and polyester blend) in dark, worn and faded blends to go with denim... by recommending 5 coordinates to crochet (instruction leaflet no. 111) and 5 accessories to crochet (instruction leaflet no. 112). Shelley appeared on the cover of both leaflets. On instruction leaflet no. 111, she wore the tie-dyed poncho and hat coordinating set. It was a denim-colored knitted poncho with fringed edges and a string-gathered neckline (that had knitted pompom balls at the ends of the sting). She wore it over a red turtleneck top and light-wash denim jeans outfit. The hat (a skull cap) was likewise denim-colored and knitted. And Shelley looked ruggedly chic and stylish.
