Newton has come a long way in the past five years with the addition of several high-end specialty clothing boutiques. Gilda’s, however, was there before any of them—educating and dressing the Newton ladies for a quarter of a century. For a small boutique tucked away near the Newton Centre T stop, Gilda’s vendor list is surprising: Lainey Keogh, Angeline Kingsley, Lulu Guiness, Lilith, and Shirin Guild, among others.
