OPENINGS

Secret Service The upscale downtown men’s clothier recently opened its doors to the public on weekends (previously by appointment only). Secret Service carries lines such as Nice Collective, Eskimo Shoes, and both the New York and Paris Surface to Air labels. Owner Chad Hilton also designs and sells his own label, Crate Denim. Not so secret anymore, boys.

Crème Based on the idiom “crème de la crème,” it isn’t any wonder this new boutique carries luxurious feminine collections and has a 90210 zip code. Designers include Tracy Reese, Robert Rodriguez, Corey-Lynn Calter, Development and Burning Torch, as well as newcomers Nanushka, Lundgren & Windinge and Samantha Treacy. In addition to clothing, Crème carries fine jewelry from Delicate Raymond, handbags, belts, and other accessories. They’re calling it a true “girl’s girl” store. We would have to agree.
