It seems the constant catalogue of Blair and Serena dresses at Forever 21 and Fred Flare aren't the only homages to Gossip Girl this year:
We hear Dolce & Gabbana is shooting their Fall '08 campaign in a Manhattan mansion, just around the corner from the Palace Hotel, otherwise known as Serena Van Der Woodsen HQ.
The models - Lily Donaldson, Jessica Stam, and Caroline Trentini - have all been dressed to look like Brearley babes going out - and they're shooting them "sneaking out" of their mansion as if it were a paparazzi shoot of these three rich chicks getting caught in the middle of the night.
There's a separate shot of boys, too, in trenches and black suits that don't mimic the North Face puffies actually worn by private school boys, but definitely do imitate the Chuck Bass school of wardrobe.
The whole campaign is being shot by Steven Klein, and it's almost (almost!) done.
A source on the set says Caroline Trentini is the nicest girl to deal with, but that's no surprise...

Steven Klein can absolutely do no wrong. I can't wait to see the story.
