With swimsuit season comes the frenetic desire to drop pounds in hopes of appearing jiggle-free in a teeny bikini. But what good is a banging bod if the ensemble isn’t seaworthy?

Find inspiration for fashionable frolicking in the nautically-inspired wearables at Ellman Fashion Design Gallery’s latest exhibition “The Sea,” open at Phoenix Art Museum through Sunday, July 15.

Fashion curator Dennita Sewell will discuss the show during Tales from the Haute Seas, a lecture that will take place among the water world of designs from Pucci, Chanel, and more.
