COSMOSHOP — Cosmetics Passport
Grand opening invitation. Dnipro, 12 September 2026.
The client came with a box of kinetic sand, a gold scoop, and the word “passport”: a spread with a photo in it.
There was no invitation card next to it. The passport was the invitation, so it had to work like a document, not a souvenir. A spread doesn’t survive being sealed, buried and dug out. What you find in the sand has to be worth the digging.
So the passport got a border. Visa page, entry stamp dated for the opening, the address as a destination, a barcode, “your beauty journey starts here.” And a data page built like the real thing: name, photograph, issue date, nationality (Beauty Addict), purpose of visit (Glow & Confidence), approval stamps. Thirty guests, thirty documents. Not a list of recipients. A list of holders.
Result: all of thirty holders who were at the city came through the door, passports stamped at the entrance.
Mine: the document, drawn from scratch: data page and its typographic grid, in-world copy, visa and stamp artwork, entry and location pages, all layout and typography, thirty individual passports laid out and prepared for print, sealed pouch, editorial insert, box surface, print-ready files and prepress.
Client’s: the passport idea, the box mechanic (kinetic sand, gold scoop, contents), guest names and photographs.
Specimen page shown with a fictional name.
Press boxes went out to creators before the opening. Both videos are theirs: shot, edited and posted by the people who opened them.
Footage: press box recipients, shared with permission. Box mechanic: client. Passport and all print: Atelier Decadence.

Botanical Future Atelier — Where Vintage Nature Meets Modern Luxury 🌸
For the #recraftstyleschallenge, I transformed historical botanical illustrations into a cohesive collection of contemporary fashion, luxury accessories, and decorative art using Recraft AI.
Inspired by delicate floral forms, I developed a signature visual style featuring couture dresses, handbags, footwear, perfumes, and lifestyle accessories.
My goal was to demonstrate how archival botanical artwork can evolve into modern, fashionable designs while preserving its original artistic character.
Created by 1286 CRAFT — Precision in Every Detail.

Obsessed with this! Turning vintage botanicals into a modern luxury atelier is such a refined concept. The bags and accessories with that floral detailing feel like they could be in a boutique in Paris. So elegant and cohesive! ✨🌿
MOULIVRÉE - 1892 Montmartre Lithography Meets 2035 Autonomous Delivery
I started with two Toulouse-Lautrec stone lithographs from 1892, Divan Japonais and The Englishman at the Moulin Rouge, both CC0 through The Met. Lautrec documented late-night Paris better than anyone, which made his world the right place to satirize modern 2am delivery culture.
I built a custom Recraft V4 Style around his visual signatures: flat ochre and terracotta ink planes, spattered crachis grain, and slightly mean caricatures. The goal was to run that 19th-century printmaking style straight into modern tech laziness.
Seven frames, one order across Belle Époque Paris: two croissants, one sandwich, two hot chocolates. It opens with an aristocratic couple tapping a cast-iron street kiosk outside the Opéra, moves into the cloud bakery where a smug French Master Baker sits with his espresso while his humanoid AI Sous-Chef handles the 200°C oven, and ends above the gaslit boulevards as a quadcopter drone delivers the order straight onto the couple's wrought-iron Haussmann balcony.
