It’s official, Penthouse Mouse is back for 2012!
This year we bring together a fresh bunch of artists and designers and live music for a thrilling program of events. In a soon to be confirmed location, Penthouse Mouse will showcase AW ranges from a selection of local fashion and accessory designers as well as a diverse cache of jewellers. Many of these items will be available for purchase throughout the event at False Economy, our onsite store.

We are also proud to announce that Penthouse Mouse will by popular demand present Mid Mouse; our final night where we host 2 runway shows featuring participating labels and styled by Connel Chiang. Labels to be announced and tickets on sale soon.
