for a Harper's Bazaar layout in 1977
Shelley was one of the highest paid models in the 1970s, a certified Supermodel. Aside from her Revlon Charlie endorsements, she appeared on many magazine covers and fashion layouts including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour and Mademoiselle and was photographed by renowned photographers like Patrick Demarchelier, Francesco Scavullo, Arthur Elgort, William Connors as well as her then boyfriend Steen Svensson. In 1977, she was photographed by Bill King for a Harper's Bazaar layout called "The American Collections: The Best of the Best at Every Price." Alongside Halston, Geoffrey Beene and Bill Blass, she and fellow Supers Cheryl Tiegs and Shelley Smith modeled the latest looks from the aforementioned designer's collections. For Bill Blass, she wore his a fabulous raincoat "with all the casual dash of a tattersall shirt". It was in classic beige with a red and black tattersall print. A matching scarf, a pair of slacks, pumps and a bag finished her Blass-approved look. An outtake from that famous and fabulous layout appeared on the August 2002 issue of Vanity Fair, in a tribute to the late designer. Check out the 1977 Harper's Bazaar Blass layout at:
