We were there.
“A coming-of-age story. A shared love for fashion and music. The Hornbill Music Festival. These were some of the starting points when we began planning the campaign. Inspired by our own lived experiences of being quiet rebels, sneaking into rock concerts, ever evolving friendships and personal styles, we wanted to capture that sense of nostalgia through our truths and fiction. With a strong focus on street-casting a new generation of Nagaland’s youth and blending their personal style into the narrative, what began as just a documentation, slowly became something more. New memories, new friendships, and a process shaped by the openness and generosity of the Naga community. Something that we will always remember.” - Dolly & Longchen
