Our Story
HISTORY
In July 2019 Intimacy Director & Coordinator Yarit Dor approached Costume Designer Shoni Wilkinson to create a specialised intimacy/modesty garment kit to use on set and in theatre. As one of the UK's pioneers in Intimacy Coordination & Intimacy Direction, Yarit found that the garments available to her and her colleagues just weren’t suitable for the job. Disposable, thinly layered, ill-fitting, limited in skin tone and size, Intimacy Professionals and Costume Departments needed a purpose-built garment that represented the industry's ethos and future. INTIMASK was created to fill this void.
The company's washable, reusable, purpose-built garments & barriers are made with the highest quality materials. They come in a range of 6 skin tones and various sizes.
​
ACHIEVEMENTS
INTIMASK is the first worldwide company to lead the development in contemporary, fit-for-action modesty garments and silicone barriers to support and protect performers in screen and live performance. These developments have made INTIMASK products highly respected for their standards and innovation.
INTIMASK's products have so far been used in TV shows produced by top film studios, Broadway shows, dance companies and circus companies.
In 2020 the company was nominated for the MAKERS & SHAKERS AWARDS (UK film industry award).
