A Thinking Model

Shelley was photographed in Halston with Halston in 1977

Shelley was one of the Supermodels of her generation. She rose to the top of the modeling world by working hard and studying her market. "I looked at the business and identified the markets. I knew the key was that they always wanted someone new. I decided to hit one market one year, then cut my hair and hit another. Then let it grow and hit television. I thought it through," explained Shelley.
