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, as well as brochure, magazine pull-outs, and magazine supplements. In 1971, she appeared on the pages of the French-language Free Weekly Supplement Modes De Paris (Paris Fashions). It featured practical  patterns for the cold weather... for city dressing as well as dressing for the ski slopes. She modeled wrap skirts that could be sewn by readers themselves and were appropriate for the cold weather (hence, the padding). She wore one skirt with a long-sleeved shirt. She wore another one with a long-sleeved shirt under a tank-top-style sweater. She finished this one with wool tights and accessorized it with a leather shoulder bag. And, as always, Shelley looked smart, chic, and ready for those cold winter days and evenings.
