Tika the Iggy is a fashion-forward Italian greyhound. She shared a number of fabulous dog fashion looks this year. Here are her top 10 looks of the year – so far.
Who is Tika the Iggy?
Tika is an Italian Greyhound living in Montreal, Canada, with a large following on Instagram and TikTok. She wears a variety of dresses and clothes specifically made for Italian Greyhounds and other dogs, owning over 300 outfits and accessories. The fashion-forward doggy has been posting since 2016 and highly regarded as a model for dog fashion. Tika lives for fashion and shows off her outfits with her family.
The reason for Tika wearing the clothes originally was to protect her from the cold in Canada. Italian Greyhounds have a harder time keeping warm due to their thin coats of fur, so this is what started Tika’s love for clothes and fashion.
Tika has two books written about her with the help of Shapiro. One of the books has written with advice on living life to the fullest. The book contains many looks she modeled over the past five years of being on social media. The other book is a picture book formatted like a children’s book. This book stars Tika and the adventure that ensues from a special letter.
Tika the Iggy, the account, is ran by her “second favorite dad,” Thomas Shapiro. Shapiro is one of Tika’s two dads that contributed to her success in fashion. He describes Tika as a fashionista and gay icon, stated in her bios on social media. Tika’s second favorite dad takes her around the world for fashion events.
