Sweater Set, 1975

from an ad for Jacobson's, 1975

Shelley appeared in many ads during her Supermodel days. She appeared in several ads for Jacobson's which was a regional department store chain that focused on high-end apparel, fine jewelry and home furnishings. It was known for personalized fashion shows as well as its posh atmosphere. In 1975, Shelley appeared in an ad for Jacobson's wearing an outfit by Tiktiner. Tiktiner was a family-owned and run fashion business based in the French Riviera, founded by Dina Tiktiner Viterbo. By 1975, the brand was known for high-quality two- and three-piece coordinated ensembles at couture-level prices. In the 1975 ad, Shelley wore a Tiktiner navy and white companion pointelle sweater set over a Tiktiner below-the-knee gabardine skirt. A casual belt, skin-colored hose and cross-strap high-heeled sandals finished her look. A complementing scarf and chunky earrings accessorized her look. And Shelley was high-end chic and breathtakingly beautiful in the ad.
