Retail chain Lifestyle International today signed in actress Deepika Padukone as the brand ambassador for its in-house ethnic wear brand ‘Melange’.

Revenues from ‘Melange’ in 2013-14 fiscal stood at Rs 100 crore and the total revenues reported by Lifestyle stood at Rs 2,500 crore.

Lifestyle will roll out a new brand campaign featuring Padukone in mid-April.
The campaign would be primarily run on print and digital reaching out to the primary audience of the brand which is 18-32 years old urban female, the company said in a statement.
