Shelley was one of the most visible Supermodels in the 1970s. She appeared on the covers and pages of many major magazines around the world. In 1971, Shelley appeared on the pages of the December 10 issue of Brigitte Mit Constanze, a German women's magazine which featured fashions, home styles and health. In the section that featured fashion pieces recommended by the mag for reader's to make for themselves, Shelley modeled a versatile blouse/jacket fashion top. Her then boyfriend, photographer Steen Svensson, was the one that captured her image for the spread.

In the spread called "Das Brigitte-Modell in Größe 34" (The Brigitte Pattern in Size 34), Shelley wore the "Bluse oder Jacke - je nach Drüber und Drunter" (Blouse or Jacket - depending on what is above and underneath). It was a fashion top that was made of thin wool jersey and that was warm enough to be used as a jacket with a sweater or as a winter blouse underneath a sweater. It was partly cut like a man's shirt, and partly like a woman's blouse (with pleating at the yoke). It had a comfortable width - important when wearing pullover sweaters underneath - that was held together with a belt. The striped material was in shades of pink, green and beige. Shelley wore it over a long-sleeved sweater and pants ensemble. A matching knitted skull cap finished her look. And, as always, Shelley looked smart, up-to-date and fabulous.
