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 October 15 issue of Brigitte Mit Constanze, a German women's magazine which featured fashion spreads, home style trends and health tips. In the section called "Brigitte's Quick Pattern," Shelley modeled a fashion piece that reader's could make for themselves.

The cut-out section called "Sometimes A Shirt-Blouse, Sometimes A Shirt-Jacket" featured several patterns for shirt/jackets that could be worn on its own (as a shirt) or over a something (as a jacket). Shelley modeled pattern number two... a straight-cut shirt jacket made from warm green wool flannel. It had a collar, a horizontal yoke, and two large breast pockets with zigzag pocket flaps and button closures. It had slightly rounded side slits. Shelley wore it as a jacket over a long-sleeved shirt and pants combo that she topped with a sweater vest. She accessorized her look with a bold-buckled wide belt over the vest and a pair of sunglasses. A short curly wig made her look hip and contemporary. And, as always, Shelley looked fabulous.
