Memo Pad: J. Crew Keeps It Real... Gabby Gabbana...

STEFANO’S TWEETS: As WWD previously reported, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana hit New York City last week to shoot their spring-summer advertising campaigns for women and men. According to Gabbana’s recent tweets on Twitter, the duo was in the middle of a Sicily-themed photo shoot with Steven Klein in a Brooklyn studio on Wednesday. “Shooting is going very well — very Dolce & Gabbana,” the fashion designer posted, adding a shot of Dolce from the set. He also uploaded a few backstage images that revealed the faces of the next Dolce & Gabbana campaign, including David Gandy, Adam Seen, Noah Mills and Sam Webb.

While in Manhattan, the Italian designers dined with photographer Mariano Vivanco on Wednesday, lunched with Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour on Thursday and had a banquet at Monkey Bar restaurant, where they met Daphne Guinness, Kylie Minogue with Spanish fiancé Andres Velencoso, Marc Jacobs and Valentino.
