Carly Rae Jepsen does Candie’s new campaign

via glooce

 

This is crazy: Not only is Carly Rae Jepsen the star of Candie’s latest ad, but she’s also the photographer behind it — marking the first time a celebrity spokesperson has shot their own fashion campaign.

Jepsen snapped herself in a photo booth while wearing pieces from Candie’s spring 2013 collection. In the ad’s main image, the star dons a cute ballet pink blazer paired with cuffed denim, a printed top and nude ankle-strap heels.

The “Call Me Maybe” singer isn’t the only pop star to represent the brand; previous Candie’s girls include Britney Spears, Fergie and Glee‘s Lea Michele.

“I feel very honored to be the next Candie’s girl. It’s a dream come true to be in the company of such amazing women!” Jepsen says in a statement.

The star’s campaign will debut in March magazines, and Candie’s is sold exclusively at Kohl’s department stores nationwide and kohls.com/candies. Tell us: Is Jepsen the right choice for Candie’s?

Carly Rae Jepsen is the new face of Candie's! She and her amazing bangs will star in the brand's spring 2013 campaign (which the singer actually shot herself!). Candie's gave Carly Rae tons of cute clothes and fun props to play with (including an adorable French bulldog), then put her in front of a photo booth and let her go wild.

After the shoot, CRJ answered a few of our burning style questions. Here, she dishes on her favorite spring trends and secrets for staying comfortable on stage!

17: What are your favorite fashion trends for Spring?

CRJ: I love florals. Prints on prints on prints! Candie's has these pastel blouses that I'm obsessed with.

17: What's the perfect shoe to take you from stage to street?

CRJ: A wedge heel does it all for me. Height, comfort and style. They give me ability to move on stage without bailing and meet for a dinner date straight after!

17: You wore long-johns under your dress to stay warm at New Year's Rockin' Eve. What other fashion secrets to you swear by?

CRJ: Those long johns were a life saver—I was freezing! I generally love to wear layers so I can be ready for any situation. On stage I usually start with a leather jacket or blazer to take off once things get warmed up! I have a white one from Candie's that I am particularly fond of because it goes with everything! I pair it with a statement jewelry piece.

Carly Rae Jepsen Gets Death Threats After American Music Awards Win

By Alicia Diaz Dennis

Carly Rae Jepsen took home the American Music Award for New Artist of the Year on Sunday evening, making her the target of many an angry tween. But hey, now she has something in common with Taylor Swift. Also in music news, Psy and MC Hammer had the evening's most celebrated performance, Rihanna's tour plane is starting to smell, someone tried to get Alabama Shakes to do reality television, Slipknot wants to collaborate with Justin Bieber, and more.

"More Like Carly Rae Kill Yourself!"
One Direction didn't bother to attend the American Music Awards on Sunday, as they're a touch too busy promoting their new album Take Me Home in the UK. They also didn't have any reason to show up, as the quintet lost the New Artist of the Year award to "Call Me Maybe" singer Carly Rae Jepsen. 

Almost immediately after Carly's win, angry One Directioners took to Twitter to spew some vitriol. "carly rae jepsen more like carly rae kill yourself," one fan sniped. Another yell-tweeted, "CARLY RAE JEPSEN I'LL KILL YOU MAYBE." One fan directed her hate at everyone who dared vote for Carly: "IM SCREAMING SO LOUD WHO VOTED FOR CARLY RAE JEPSEN I WILL KILL YR FIRSTBORN."

Of course, this kind of behavior is really nothing new for teenyboppers. Teen pop death threats, a tale as old as time. Just ask Taylor Swift, who's been getting her fair share of online hate over those rumors that she and Harry Styles are an item

Breakout Canadian pop star Carly Rae Jepsen – whose hit Call Me Maybe became the song of the summer – has been named the rising star of 2012 by Billboard Magazine.

“As a singer-songwriter having grown up listening to and being influenced by countless female artists, I am truly honored to be recognized by Billboard with this award," Jepsen said in a statement.

"I hope to inspire others through my music the way those artists have inspired me.”

Call Me Maybe spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, a record-breaking run for a Canadian artist, Billboard said, and has sold more than 10 million singles worldwide.

Her latest album Kiss debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 6.

“The single has become nothing short of a pop culture phenomenon, leading to unprecedented viral fanfare," Billboard editorial director Bill Werde said.

"Few artists have achieved this level of success this early in a career. We are thrilled to honor her extraordinary U.S. debut, and we look forward to seeing where she goes next."

Meanwhile, Firework singer Katy Perry has been named Woman of the Year.

Her 2010 album Teenage Dream notched five Hot 100 No. 1s, a first for an album by a female artist, and has sold 2.5 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album spent over 100 weeks on the Billboard 200.

Perry's impressive numbers also include a record nine No. 1s on the Pop Songs chart, a record seven on the Adult Pop Songs chart, 10 on Dance/Club Play Songs and an overall seven atop the Hot 100.

Perry and Jepsen will be honoured at Billboard's Women in Music event in New York on Nov. 30.
