Intimates E-tailer Bare Necessities Relaunches with a Mission to Remind People of the Power of Human Connection

Brand Unveils 'Live Intimately' Campaign, Announces Partnership with Celebrity Fashion Stylist Kate Young, Introduces BARE by Bare Necessities and Seamless Loyalty Program

EDISON, N.J., Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Bare Necessities, the world's leading intimates e-tailer, relaunches with 'Live Intimately,' a campaign designed to spark meaningful conversation around building connections and redefining intimacy. The campaign introduces a partnership with celebrity fashion stylist Kate Young, proprietary brand BARE by Bare Necessities, and new loyalty program Seamless as the first of many steps to transform the company and lead the way toward an authentic, unfiltered view of intimacy within the intimate apparel category.

"The intimate apparel category has historically had a narrow, sexualized view of intimacy that only scratches the surface of what intimacy is and can be. We want to ignite a dialogue about true intimacy and how intimate apparel can play a role in fostering it. In our virtual world, we miss the importance of intimacy and our focus at Bare Necessities is on real human connection. From hyper personal conversations with Bra Fit Experts to a line co-created with our community, intimacy is in our DNA." says Chief Marketing Officer Bernadette Fitzpatrick.

The 'Live Intimately' campaign sheds light on the fact that people have been conditioned to hide their vulnerability, which stands in the way of intimacy. Bare Necessities found that nearly two thirds of women do not feel they have a close connection to their body, so the brand partnered with renowned photographers, directors and multi-disciplinary artists Tierney Gearon, Mayan Toledano, Luke Gilford, Lelanie Foster and Olivia Bee to capture their most intimate moments between themselves and their loved ones to show what modern intimacy really looks like and support others in their personal intimacy journeys.
