British nightwear label Their Nibs has teamed up with Sophie Ellis-Bextor on a joyful new capsule collection inspired by sequins, vintage florals, iconic beauty looks and the many sides of the pop disco queen.
The partnership brings together two worlds: Their Nibs’ signature hand-drawn prints and joyful maximalism, reimagined through Sophie’s technicolour universe of music, vintage fashion and unapologetic sparkle.
For Sophie, the collaboration offered a chance to translate some of her favourite visual references into her own take on nightwear, from her signature green glitter eyeshadow to the vintage florals that fill her wardrobe.
“I’ve always loved the idea that what you wear can change how you feel, and Their Nibs has such a brilliant way of bringing that sense of joy into everyday life,” commented Sophie. “It felt natural to take some of the things that feel very ‘me’, the colour, the vintage references, the glamour and, of course, a little bit of disco and turn them into something you can wear at home. Fiona has created such a beautiful world with Their Nibs, so it was a real pleasure to play in it.”
The prints include Read My Lips, a playful hot pink design contrasted with vivid red; and Murder on the Forest Floor, which takes inspiration from Sophie’s love of vintage fashion and her eclectic wardrobe, drawing on romantic Sixties florals from her own clothing collection. The final touch is the Iconic Eyes eyemask, a nod to Sophie’s green glittery eyeshadow.
Fiona Bell, founder of Their Nibs, commented: “I’ve admired Sophie for such a long time, not only for her incredible music and performances, but for her sense of style and joy. She had once been a customer at my Portobello shop which made this collaboration feel like such a wonderful full-circle moment. I wanted the collection to feel completely Sophie – colourful, playful and a little bit cheeky.”
