The Glitter Look

a closeup of Shelley from a spread on Seventeen magazine, September 1967

Shelley was a part-time model in the 1960s, when she was still a student and her education was her priority. She would usually model during her summer breaks. Shelley said, "Modeling was a great summer job. It beat waitressing."  She added, “The Ford Agency would send out a little card that said, ‘Shelley Hack will be back June 1.’” Shelley was represented by Ford Models Inc. throughout her modeling career.

September 1967 issue

In 1967, she appeared on the pages of Seventeen magazine's September issue, in the spread called "The Glitter Look" which featured party dresses in muted fabrics tuned up with the big-evening brilliance of rhinestones blazing here and there. Shelley wore a dove gray knitted evening dress by Gay Gibson. It widened from a narrow yoke to a mini hem and then over shock-blazing pink boomers and ending with sparkling tights by Bewitching. A starburst rhinestone pin was pt front and center, pinned on the neckline of the dress. Earrings by Weiss and a bracelet by Mr. We finished her look. With her hair in a semi-beehive, Shelley looked ready to party the night away, 1967 style.
