The Bollywood Star to endorse Yepme’s philosophy of #freshfashion in a series of 10 TV ads
New Delhi, March 15, 2015: Yepme.com, India’s biggest online fashion brand today announced that they have got on board the Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty as their Brand Ambassador for their new brand campaign centered on the theme – ‘Fresh Fashion, Fresh Look’. The 360 degree campaign includes a series of 10 films that highlight Yepme’s focus on #freshfashion. The campaign connects Yepme’s ‘fresh’ credentials with the ‘fresh new perspective’, on clichéd ways of doing things. The campaign is currently live on all the channels broadcasting the World Cup live through the Star Sports network and will unfold along with the remaining matches of ICC World Cup 2015. This campaign works towards Yepme’s mission to democratize fashion in India for the style conscious 20 -29 age group of women & men. The brand has also launched a special ‘Rhea collection’ line of apparels and accessories she is sporting in the videos.
A former MTV VJ, Rhea made her Hindi film debut with ‘Mere Dad Ki Maruti’ and is the lead star in an upcoming Y-Films production – Bankchor – a comedy about a bank heist. The tongue-in-cheek campaign, also being conceptualized and produced by Y-Films for Yepme, showcases Rhea offering a ‘Fresh’ take on some of the ‘same old’ lines people say, be it Shopaholics, Social Media addicts, Fashion Designers, models or Moms of Single Girls. She brings the ‘freshness’ into the campaign with her witty and humorous reactions that outline Yepme’s ‘Fresh Fashion, Fresh Look’ attitude.

We are very happy to have her as our brand ambassador to deliver a fresh look consistent with our Fresh Fashion campaign.”
