In the 1970s, after finishing her schooling, Shelley signed on full-time at her modeling agency, Ford Models Inc., and became one of the highest-paid Supermodels of the era. She appeared in countless fashion spreads and ads for the best-selling magazines around the world such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Elle and Mademoiselle. In 1972, she appeared in an ad for Malina yarns with the tagline "Knit Your Own This Spring." In the ad, she wore the "3-piece fashion wow" - made up of a "skort" (a skirt and shorts combo) and a scarf - over dark-colored body stockings. In her hand, she clutched a multi-colored shawl. At her feet, were a couple of fun pillows. All of which could be knitted by anyone using Malina yarns. And Shelley looked fabulous as always.
