OMG Swimwear

In 2010, swimsuit designer Jade Powers decided to make her dream a reality and launched OMG Swimwear, specializing in custommade swimsuits.

“We cater to women who know what they want,” explains Powers, 33. “And we do just that by customdesigning every suit to fit a woman’s body perfectly. We design for the everyday woman as well as for beauty pageants and competitions.”

Powers, who was born in Laos and raised in Hawaii, is a mother of three and attends Heald Business College, where she earned an associate degree in nursing and is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business management.

“My inspiration for my swimsuits is that I listen to women and I hear what they want,” she says. “I believe that shopping for bikinis shouldn’t be difficult, it should be fun.”
