For Fall, the retailer <a href="http://www.wwd.com/media-news/fashion-memopad/donnas-touch-where-food-and-fashion-collide-2232535#/wwd" target="_blank">has recruited</a> a crop of young Hollywood actresses: Nicole Fiscella, Lauren Ambrose, Krysten Ritter, and Florence Faivre. Not pictured but also part of the campaign are actors Chris Messina, Scott Speedman, and Juan Diego Botto. The focus is on the white shirt, chinos, suits, denim, and trench coats. But print isn't the only place you'll be seeing this group. "The actors were chosen originally because we wanted to authentically capture a campaign grounded in film," <a href="http://www.wwd.com/media-news/fashion-memopad/donnas-touch-where-food-and-fashion-collide-2232535#/wwd" target="_blank">said Simon Kneen</a>, creative director and executive vice president of Banana Republic. Cool. What do you think of the cool cast?</p> <p><span style='font-size:10px !important;'><a href="http://www.wwd.com/" target="_blank">Source</a></span></p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="http://www.fabsugar.com/3827166" method="post" id="poll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label><div id=poll-title>Fab Ad: Banana Republic, Fall &#039;09 </div></label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-3827166" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-3827166" name="edit[choice]" value="0-3827166" class="form-radio" /> Using actors is Fab.
