Meet Stephanie Montag | CEO NSA Swim

We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Montag and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind the success of NSA Swim is the unwavering commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity. Every piece is handmade from scratch using the highest quality materials, ensuring a level of detail and durability that sets us apart in the luxury swimwear industry.

Beyond the product itself, our success is deeply rooted in our brand’s story—being a small-town entrepreneur who built a business from the ground up while raising a family. Our customers connect with the authenticity behind the brand, appreciating the fusion of high fashion with real-life experiences. Staying true to our values, embracing slow fashion, and fostering a sense of community have all contributed to building a loyal customer base that believes in what we create.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My art is more than just swimwear—it’s a reflection of passion, resilience, and craftsmanship. Every piece from No Strings Attached Swimwear is handmade in the USA from scratch, designed with luxury, comfort, and functionality in mind. What sets us apart is not just the quality of our materials or the custom fit, but the authenticity behind the brand. Our swimwear is crafted with purpose, made to empower women to feel confident and beautiful.

I’m most proud of the fact that NSA Swim has become the #1 swimwear uniform company in Las Vegas, trusted by top hotels and resorts season after season. Seeing my designs on women all over the country is surreal, especially knowing that this all started from a dream and sheer determination.

Getting to where I am today wasn’t easy. I attended fashion design school, juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet. What started as a part-time passion became my full-time career out of necessity. When I got married and became pregnant, I had no other choice but to make NSA Swim work. There was no fallback plan—failure wasn’t an option. Through sheer hard work, building connections, and never settling for anything less than excellence, I turned this business into a thriving brand that continues to grow every year.

Even through challenges like COVID, when so many businesses struggled, we adapted and kept pushing forward. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that success isn’t about luck—it’s about sacrifice, consistency, and believing in yourself when no one else will.

What I want the world to know about No Strings Attached Swimwear is that this isn’t just a business—it’s a testament to determination, independence, and the power of chasing your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem. I built this brand with my own hands, in a barn I turned into my warehouse, while raising my family on a farm. It’s proof that you don’t need a big-city fashion house to create something extraordinary—you just need passion, hard work, and the courage to bet on yourself.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would spend the week hiking, at the lake, with the animals on our farm, and enjoying the outdoors.

We live in a small town of around 5,000 people, in the North Georgia Mountains. We are the first Mountain city. Everything here to be enjoyed is outdoors and slow paced.

We would cook at home with items from our locals farmers market and fresh farm meats, or enjoy a nice lunch or dinner on Main Street at the Old Mulhouse, our favorite spot.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
“I want to give a huge shoutout to the incredible hotels in Las Vegas and across the country that have put their trust in NSA Swim, season after season. Their continued support has made us the #1 swimwear uniform company in Las Vegas, which is an honor we don’t take lightly. It means everything to know that our designs are not only loved but also chosen over all others in such a competitive market.

I also want to recognize my family, who have supported me through every late night, early morning, and moment I’ve had to sacrifice. Building a brand from the ground up while balancing motherhood and marriage hasn’t been easy, but their love and understanding keep me going every day. This journey wouldn’t be possible without them.”
