Between Taylor Malkov’s (22) frequent trips abroad, she manages to pop back home for a short break and refreshment. Last weekend, she celebrated a vacation in Mykonos with friends Elin Cohen and Avihai Dayi, flaunting a series of vibrant and summery looks. One standout piece that caught our eye was a red and white striped towel suit that we just can't get out of our heads.

At first glance, it looked like a short strapless playsuit, a one-piece that saves space in your carry-on. However, a quick investigation revealed that it’s actually two separate items from the Israeli brand The Rococo, led by the beloved fashionista Romi Spector.

The Rococo’s resort collection for Spring-Summer 2024 exudes Positano vibes, with a touch of the French Riviera (soon to be our local trend). It makes you want to pack your sunscreen and passport and jet off as soon as possible. The towel fabric, which has become particularly trendy in the last year or two, continues to shine, this time in the form of the discussed set. Typically made from bouclé with a dense weave, it offers a refined, rich look with a pleasant touch, and its highlight is its easy washability.

Malkov opted for a strapless top in red cherry-and-white stripes (NIS 420, also available as a tank top and dress), featuring an elastic chest band for extra support. The body-hugging cut smooths and flatters the body, enhanced with an embroidered logo detail on the front. The bottom piece is a pair of stylish summer shorts (NIS 430) with wider stripes than the top, adding more dimension to the design.

Taylor paired the set (also available in sky blue and black) with brown gladiator sandals featuring thick soles and a gold metal logo from Celine (about $600), a collection of gold jewelry adorning her ears and neck with layered necklaces—among them, pearls, a Star of David pendant, and another red pepper-shaped pendant that matched the chosen look's palette. Light makeup, white-frame sunglasses, and a rectangular straw handbag completed the look, sealing another successful day in Greece.
