It’s 9PM x Corina Gaffey | Brown Thomas
We love this exciting new collab with Irish stylist Corina Gaffey and female-founded London brand It’s 9pm. Designed to redefine nightwear – for both the bed and bar – this five-piece capsule collection includes silk sets and velour suits, with every detail considered through a stylist’s expert eye. Whether you’re lounging in style or enjoying a night out, these sets are both comfortable and effortless. In fact, this Demi candy stripe set with funky detailing looks good enough to eat … @corinagaffey @weare9pm
