Contemporary Fashions

Shelley in an ad spread for Celanese Contemporary Fibers, 1965

One of Shelley's first ad spreads came out during her first year of modeling, in 1965, for Celanese Contemporary Fibers. With the theme "how to dress for your boyfriend", she wore fashions that was sure to please any young lady's main man (so retro). To please writer Allen, Shelley donned a dress by Leslie Juniors, a sleeveless above-the-knee dress with a ruffled neckline. It was in a luxurious pale blue brocade of acetate, cotton and nylon. A matching headband, white fishnets and pale blue pumps finished her look. And Shelley looked like a cure for writer's block.
