"   Photo: Stylehaus  You&amp;#039;ve probably heard that despite the recession, and record unemployment, people just keep on shopping. There&amp;#039;s no shortage of new boutiques, ecommerce sites and online social media-meets-shopping destinations opening every week. But this one, Styleha\u00FCs, is doing so with particular, well, aplomb. The new members-only boutique on Melrose Place plans to charge $1,000 a year\u2014and that doesn&amp;#039;t include a single purchase, just the privilege of walking through the door. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like having a gym membership,&amp;quot; says former stylist and Styleha\u00FCs&amp;#039; Creative Director Marina Monroe, an analogy we don&amp;#039;t quite understand since you can&amp;#039;t just walk in, use a dress for the night, and then return it to the rack. And yet Monroe sounds sure that people will jump on the Styleha\u00FCs bandwagon. &amp;quot;This is the retail model the general public is looking for,&amp;quot; she says. So what does $1000 get you? A personal stylist and shopper, exclusive trunk show viewings, a concierge for fashion emergencies, and two at-home closet consultations. As for designers, the store will be filled with brands like Sass &amp;amp;amp; Bide and Vena Cava\u2014the only two labels exclusive to Styleha\u00FCs are Adolfo Sanchez and Mir &amp;amp;amp; Mookh. Does this sound crazy to you? If you&amp;#039;re into it, or even just curious, you can purchase a $100 day pass to see what your missing. If you do, let us know the secret.
