Stressa here (again)! for my second entry, I wanted to make another little cinematic adventure, but this time it’s about Stressella’s frens going to CapCut World LA 🦆✨
It all started when these little guys had been hearing about CapCut World NONSTOP. Every day, it’s CapCut World this, CapCut World that. And honestly? They got a little TOO invested lol.
And off they went. No proper travel plans, no tickets, just an expired Wishing Dust and colossal yellow duck with a propeller helmet. They flew through the clouds, startled half the birds in Cornwall, splashed down in Marina del Rey, and started running through LA like they had an actual appointment to keep.
I wanted to turn all that CapCut World hype into a chaotic little adventure, with cinematic scenery, ridiculous characters, and the kind of journey that absolutely did not need a 12-metre duck but got one anyway.
This was alsoooo genuinely so much fun to make! I hope you have as much fun watching it as I did creating it! wml 🤞🥹
Ughhh i love the idea 🙌

DARI — Armor, Leaves & Glass
DARI is a contemporary fashion collection that brings historical design into a modern wardrobe. I created a custom Recraft Style using three references from The Metropolitan Museum of Art: a Milanese steel helmet from around 1475, William Morris’s Willow Bough wallpaper from 1887, and an American pressed-glass salt cellar from 1830–1840.
Their contrasting qualities—armor, foliage, and glass—informed an emerald-led collection of clothing, accessories, and tech objects. The Recraft project includes 27 individual item studies and a final series of 10 fashion campaign images.
The accompanying film brings four selected images into motion and presents the references, development, final collection, and before-and-after comparisons.
