In episode six of The Gilded Thread – the final episode of series one – Irene speaks with Deirdre (Dee) Macken of Lucy's Lounge about her three-plus decades trading vintage fashion in Dublin and London. She recalls memories of developing her style during childhood shopping trip around The Liberties with her mum – and the rebellious dressing that followed, how her love of music shaped her personal style, setting up her first market in a broom cupboard in Dublin City Centre, and the love of individuality and creativity in others that continues to inspire her business today.
