The humming of a Piero Piccioni score, the aroma of a freshly plucked orange, or the sun dancing across the water: a few examples of the enchanting scenes evoked by Montce X Elsa Hosk. Whether vacation to you means somewhere on the Amalfi Coast, sailing the Greek Islands, traipsing along the French Riviera, or simply sunbathing on a NYC rooftop, I believe it’s not so much the locale as it is the swimsuit’s responsibility to charm and transport. Before you pack your spring break carry-on with last year’s bikini, we spoke with the It-girl, Elsa Hosk, and got the inside scoop on the most elegant swimwear of 2026.

Designed in collaboration with the model and founder of Helsa (a Revolve and FWRD exclusive), Montce has combined its vintage-inspired detailing with Elsa’s cool-girl fashion intuition to create a vacation wardrobe ripe with timeless, chic swimwear. “There are many reasons why this partnership feels so genuine for us, but among them is that Montce x Elsa feels less like a collaboration, and more like a shared world,” said Montce’s founder, Alexandra Grief, in the press release.

We spoke with Elsa about the behind-the-scenes of the collection, and when asked about her creative process, it became clear that Grief’s characterization was spot on: “I’m very visual. I always start with references and build a world before I design anything. It can be an old photograph, a color in nature, a fabric texture, even architecture. Once I know the feeling, the details become very specific. It’s instinctive, but also very intentional,” said the Helsa founder. Elsa’s attentive work ethic and conscious pursuit of nostalgia are precisely what make Montce X Elsa Hosk feel so transportive.

Slip into any item from the beautiful sixty-six-piece collection, and you’ll be transported to a sun-soaked vacation you’ll never wish to end. Exclusively available at Montce.com, the romantic swimwear line launches today, March 2. It features flirty bikinis, high-cut one-pieces, coordinating coverups, and gorgeous accessories. Not to mention, the pastel color palette of seafoam blues and pretty pinks is absolutely dreamlike.
