Fifth Avenue, Bedford Avenue and … Kings Highway? When Steev Eitelberg opened Steev’s West Fourth, a 10,000-square-foot designer clothing emporium, in September, he was the first to bring haute couture to Gravesend, and so far, the gamble is paying off.

“It’s very out of character for this neighborhood,” Eitelberg said of the store, which stocks designer clothes — including $400 Neil Barrett shirts — denim, shoes, make-up and skin care. “[But] business is going really well. Knock on wood!”

And if ladies apparel buyer Marlee Cohen is on the mark, it should continue going that way. Cohen predicted that high-waisted skirts in eye-popping colors — bright yellow, fuchsia and purple were ticked off — will be the must-have item of the summer.

Steev West Fourth is located at 355 Kings Hwy. between West Third and West Fourth streets in Gravesend. For more information, call (718) 336-6260.
