closeups of Shelley
from a pic from the Jean Grayson's
Brownstone Studio catalog, Fall 1977 issue
Like many of her contemporaries, Shelley appeared on many catalogs during her Supermodel days. In 1977, she appeared on the Fall 1977 issue of Jean Grayson's Brownstone Studio catalog. Jean Grayson (whose real name was Jean Paaswell) was a fashion designer who designed classic clothes for real women. She catered to homemakers and career women who either hated to shop, had no time to shop, or just wanted someone else to do the shopping/choosing for her. She founded Jean Grayson's Brownstone Studio, a successful mail order women's apparel company that produced four catalogs yearly.

Brownstone Studio catalog, Fall 1977 issue
In the Fall 1977 issue, Shelley modeled easy-to-match separates... pieces 18L, 18M, 18N and 18P, as well as pieces 19F, 19G and 19H. Her first outfit was made up of a rose-colored polyester crepe shirt (18P) worn over mauve-colored pinchecked pants with front zipper and an elasticized waistband (18N). She wore a garnet-colored pinstriped cotton velveteen weskit (18M) over the shirt and topped both off with an unlined mauve-colored pinchecked blazer with a pinstriped garnet-colored velveteen collar (18L). Her second outfit was a mauve and garnet hued combination that was perfect for a day out in the town or in the office. It was made up of a pale mauve to dusty rose chevron-striped long-sleeved blouse (19H) in polyester jersey that buttoned up to the front to its bow-tied neckline and a pair of classic pants (19G) in mauve that had an elastic waistband and a side zipper. She topped this off with a city shirtjacket (19F) in pincheked polyester twill. It had a front zipper, zipper pockets concealed in the side front seams, top stitching and buttoned cuffs. And, in both outfits, Shelley looked classic and classy at the same time. For more check out: Mauve And Garnet 1 and Mauve And Garnet 2
