What would you wear if you knew you'd be separated from your boss, your peers and land in general for roughly three days? If that three-day absence centered around Holy Ship!!, the second-annual sailing dance party that recently toured to the Bahamas and back, you'd wear something you could move in. (And judging by our photos of the onboard fashions, you wouldn't wear very much.) Voice Media Group photographer Ian Witlen captured both the bizarre and the beach-friendly in his fifty fashion scenes from the trip. Keep reading for the highlights, and visit our full Holy Ship!! fashion slide show for more photos.
