In the 1970s, after finishing her schooling, Shelley signed on full-time at her modeling agency, Ford Models Inc., and became one of the highest-paid Supermodels of the era. She appeared in countless fashion spreads and ads for the best-selling magazines around the world such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Elle and Mademoiselle. In 1972, she appeared in an ad for Garfinckel's, a department store chain that catered to wealthy and high-end customers. In the ad, she wore a caftan by Oscar de la Renta. Dubbed a "Fantasy a la Oscar de la Renta," the outfit was described as "flower trellised on a caftan of French satin ribboned chiffon." And it retailed at $495.00 (which would be $3,676.00 in 2025). She finished her outfit off with chunky-heeled pumps with bridge straps. And Shelley looked high-end, breezy, and uber-glamorous in her designer caftan.
