Penthouse Mouse 2010 Opening
Penthouse Mouse is arguably Melbourne Street Fashion's most anticipated LMFF event. This year's opening proved once again why. Held in the old Naval and Millitary club, the venue was a labyrinth packed with lots of nooks and crannies and had a wonderfully retro vibe. The wood panelled bar and old squash courts added a surprising element to the mix of the designers and artists whose work was on show.
Melbourne Street Fashion's faves all showcased their impressive design talents in lovely fash-tallations that incorporated their brands aesthetic. Limedrop's popular cloud print was referenced in a puffy cloud wall installation that immediately pulled your focus to the basement floor. Trimapee's installation on the other hand was comprised of a mass of ropes – pulled from the walls - that suspended their innovative clothing and accessories like pieces of art. In contrast the lovely Estelle Deve decided to go down the minimalist route with a paired back austere window display showcasing her art deco inspired Lunar Mare jewellery collection.
Everyone we spoke to was firstly impressed with the calibre of work on display but also with just how well dressed the crowd was. Melbourne's fash pack was out in force with everything from a customised kilt to a beautifully tailored suit being worn - and that was just the men!
