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 1976, she appeared in an ad for Theo. Theo was a clothing line that was dubbed as "The Affordable Alternative." The line included shirts, blouses, pants, skirts and jackets. Shelley appeared in a 1976 ad for Theo wearing a shirt, pants and jacket ensemble. And Shelley looked smart, laid-back, accessible, and beautiful.
