Super Knits

a closeup of Shelley from a spread
for Lana Lobell Spring '73 catalog
 
Shelley appeared in many catalogs during her modeling days just like many of her contemporaries such as Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, Patti Hansen and Shelley Smith, to name a few (They all regularly appeared in catalogs - their looks were so versatile that they could jump from commercial to high-fashion editorial modeling with just a bat of their mascara-ed eyelashes.) One of the catalogs Shelley appeared in was Lana Lobell which was first launched in 1950 by dress store owner Boris Leavitt (he named it after his daughter) and featured pretty, feminine fashions that were wearable and comfy to boot. Shelley appeared on spreads in the Lana Lobell Spring '73 catalog. In the spread called "Super Knits," she wore The Palazzo Pair which was made up of a layered-look top with smooth-knit sleeves, a cowl collar and back zip over a pair of palazzo pants with an elastic waist. Matching footwear finished her look. And Shelley look perfectly super and sensational.
