Gay Gibson Ad Model

During her tenure as a model, Shelley did a lot of ads for Gay Gibson. The brand was one of the many labels that came out of Kansas City, Missouri. It was a label that dated back to 1937 and that specialized in producing mid-priced fashions for young women. There was nobody named Gay Gibson associated with the brand though; it was owned by the Gernes Garment Company. The brand reached it's pinnacle during the '60s and early '70s.
