Dublin-based DJ and
founder of GXRL CODE

MONA-LXSA


Directly south of the River Liffey from
Penneys’s first Dublin store, and the location
of Primark’s global headquarters today, is
where you’re most likely to find Mona-Lxsa


  • when she’s not behind a DJ booth, that is.
    The parks in Dublin are the perfect open
    space for the 26-year-old and the young
    women she works with as part of her
    organisation, Gxrl Code, to embrace a little
    peace away from the hustle and bustle – “to
    clear your head and refocus,” she tells Vogue.
    The young women involved in the collective
    might all bring something different to the
    table, but one thing they do share is a
    love of style. “We are definitely inspired
    by each other,” Mona-Lxsa says of the
    group’s preferred mix of vintage and high
    street. “We all have different personalities
    that shine through with what we
    wear and what we look like.”
