Echelle spectroscopy of the inner shell of the bright planetary nebula NGC 1535 has revealed a bi-polar expansion with velocities of over 20 km s-1. This is unexpected since this object exhibits a round morphology. Current theories which invoke stellar winds as the dominant force shaping PN are found to be consistent both quantitatively and qualitatively with the observed phenomenon and a model is suggested in which preferential expansion occurs due to the partial collimation of a stellar wind by a ring of dense material in the equatorial plane which was most likely released by the progenitor during an earlier stage of its evolution.
