Stepping into the role of Creative Director for the first time has been a transformative experience. Bygone is more than just a fashion story; it is a visual exploration of the profound allure of nostalgia. It serves as a study of a soul that feels a deep, inexplicable kinship with an earlier era - someone living in the modern world but tethered to the elegance and stillness of the past.
This shoot felt particularly special to me because it allowed me to merge my vision as a director with my presence as a model. My name, Sené, translates to “how things used to be,” often meaning an “old soul.” In many ways, this project was a homecoming to myself - a quiet gathering of the versions of me that belong to a different time.
