Layering '77 E

Shelley in a spread for Harper's Bazaar, 1977

Shelley appeared on many spreads throughout Harper's Bazaar's September 1977 issue. In the spread called "The New Ways of Layering", she and fellow model Linda Tonge showed readers how to layer furs, jackets, vests and coats in order to achieve the luxurious look of the season. Earth tones accented with soft blues and rose, a mix of lengths and textures was what it was all about.

Shelley wore Hopsack Vest Over A Sweater look. It was a Oxford-blue shirt worn over a slim gathered skirt topped with a matching big-collared sweater and a natural hopsack vest - all by Blassport. An ascot-like scarf around the neck, a skullcap, a scarf in natural material over the shoulders and button earrings finished her look.

Shelley also wore the Cotton Twill Vest Over Mohair look. It was a silk shirt over a tweed skirt topped with a hooded jacket and a cotton twill vest - all by Bill Kaiserman for Rafael.  A plaid scarf and shiny earrings finished her look. And Shelley looked fantastic in both looks.
