Tanya McGilligan realised her dream of opening a fashion shop in Monkstown, Co Dublin just before Christmas. She had set up Style Ikon, an online luxury fashion and accessories website, two years ago, and also offered customers private appointments at a showroom in her Monkstown home.

Through this, she built up quite a following, which fuelled the impetus to open her own shop. It is located in the Crescent, beyond Avoca and Seagreen if heading in the Dún Laoghaire direction. The clothes she sources are mostly from Paris and are unique to her in Ireland.
